Instagram post 2214727012986239494_2533145568 New review posted on Judging More Than Just the Cover (link in bio): Where the Crawdads Sing by @authordeliaowens. . “I wasn't aware that words could hold so much. I didn't know a sentence could be so full." Genre: Historical Fiction Number of Pages: 370 Perspective: Third-Person Alternating Timelines Location: North Carolina Marshes . In Where the Crawdads Sing, we follow the story of Kya, known as “the Marsh Girl”, from 1952 to the present day. After being abandoned by every member of her family as a very young child, she lives in solitude in a shack in the North Carolina Marshes. Only a select few people make an attempt to get to know her: some with honest intentions and some seeking their own gain. . TL;DR: A very sad, but intriguing look at nature, loneliness, and coming of age. . Full review linked in bio. Let me know what you thought!

Instagram post 2172746047359601741_2533145568 Happy Friday! I have a long to-do list for Baby G this weekend, but I’m hoping to get some quality reading time in. What are your weekend plans?
Instagram post 2154108897382721819_2533145568 Loved this very uniquely formatted book by @colleenhoover! FYI: it’s one of her darker books.
Instagram post 2150427301706453767_2533145568 Well...this was not the spooky ghost story I wrongfully assumed it would be. 🤣 Have you ever gone into a book blind, but were shocked by how wrong your expectations were?
Instagram post 2146517131058049910_2533145568 It’s almost Halloween! Which means I’m pulling out the spooky, witchy reads from my TBR shelf. Which one should I start with? #readingcommunity
