Fun day today at the Nutcracker Market Spring Spectacular! Picked up a couple more sleeves of “832” cups -now I just need to write “Book Review” in sharpie underneath each one to advertise😜. #nutcrackerspringspectacular #houston #thewritedesignco #noreadingtoday #gocups #nutcrackermarket @832bookreview
Chanel Cleeton has done it again! I absolutely loved her first book - Next Year in Havana - and this follow-up does not disappoint! When We Left Cuba focuses on Elisa's strong-willed sister Beatriz once the family has left Cuba for South Florida. I loved her first book for the history of the island and for teaching me about life in Cuba. This book focuses on the early years of Castro's rule as seen by exiles and on the Cubans in American who want to do something about it. If Cuba, or Fidel Castro, or espionage interest you then this is right up your alley! It is published by Penguin Random House and Berkley Publishing Group and goes on sale tomorrow! Happy Reading! @chanelcleeton @penguinbooks @berkleypub #whenweleftcuba #cuba #nextyearinhavana #espionage #1960s #bookstagram #bookblogger #tbr #whattoread
The cover of this book alone made we want to read this! Now that I have, here’s my review! Bittersweet Brooklyn by Thelma Adams was dark book about life in Brooklyn from 1905-1935 told from the female perspective. From the original blurb I thought this would be a lot more about the mob during that time (like The Godfather but from a woman’s point of view) but it was really a story of a girl coming to age surrounded by a very difficult family life and tough living and social situations with the background of mob life in New York. The book starts out with the main character, Thelma (yes, same name as the author), helping her brother clean up a dead body. But then you get to delve into Thelma’s life leading up to this time - how she got to where she is. She had a very tough life - her father dies right after she was born and her mother somehow blamed her so she was neglected and abused from then on. Her life was hard to read about a times and I felt sad for Thelma most of the book but I am actually so glad I read it! The book could have been a little shorter as much of Thelma’s life was just one sad thing after another but the author has a beautiful style of writing and was really able to exquisitely describe everything going on. The characters were so well-developed (maybe too much so at times) that I even felt sympathy for the ones I hated. Thank you to @suzyapprovedbooktours and @lakeunionauthors for the opportunity to read this! It’s free through Kindle Unlimited right now if you’re interested in reading it! #bittersweetbrooklyn #thelmaadams #themob #historicalfiction #familysaga #igreads #thegodfather #bookworm #bookshark #bookstagram
I loved this book even though the subject matter is a little tough! I have read and enjoyed many of Susan Meissner’s previous books and I think this is her best yet! It tells of a family internment camp in Texas during WWII, which I did not know even existed! Through the story Meissner examines the effects of this camp on the people who were legally living in the US (but not yet citizens) who were accused of being Nazi or Japanese sympathizers and the toll it took on their families (many were children born in the US and didn’t know anything else). The characters were very well developed and I think this book is timely and thought-provoking! And, for those of you in Houston - she is going to be at @bluewillowbooks tomorrow night! @soozmeissner @berkleypub @tallpoppywriters #historicalfiction #wwii #internmentcamps #texas #thelastyearofthewar #whattoread #tbr

Then got stuck for a day in blizzard conditions in the #bombcyclone Fun but a little stressful for this southern girl😀⛄️🌨 Back to Houston now with lots of book reviews to come! #springbreakadventures #reading #notskiing
It warms my heart to walk into a vacation rental house and see a full bookshelf! And there are some pretty good books there! I, of course, brought more than I will probably read so I won’t be using them, but others might!! #springbreak #springbreakreading #vacationreads #bookshelf #bookblogger #stayingin
