Hi Y'all,
Just stopping by to let you know about a book I am waiting on. This one looks really good!
Author: Brian D. Kennedy
Summary from Goodreads:
Emmett Maguire wants to be country music’s biggest gay superstar – a far reach when you’re seventeen and living in Illinois. But for now, he’s happy to do the next best thing: Stay with his aunt in Jackson Hollow, Tennessee, for the summer and perform at the amusement park owned by his idol, country legend Wanda Jean Stubbs.
Luke Barnes hates country music. As the grandson of Verna Rose, the disgraced singer who had a famous falling out with Wanda Jean, Luke knows how much pain country music has brought his family. But when his mom’s medical bills start piling up, he takes a job at the last place he wants: a restaurant at Wanda World.
Neither boy is looking for romance, but sparks fly when they meet – and soon they’re inseparable. Until a long-lost secret about Verna and Wanda comes to light, threatening to unravel everything.
Will Emmett and Luke be able get past the truths they discover…or will their relationship go down in history as just another Sad Country Love Song?
Happy Reading!

Hi All,
I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was exactly what I needed. Please go read it. I am happy to share with you on Book Date Monday.
Author: Eve Rodsky
Summary from Amazon:
From the New York Times best-selling author of Fair Play and "the Marie Kondo of relationships" comes an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space.
With her acclaimed New York Times best seller (and Reese’s Book Club pick) Fair Play, Eve Rodsky began a national conversation about greater equality on the home front. But she soon realized that even when the domestic workload becomes more balanced, people still report something missing in their lives - that is, unless they create and prioritize time for activities that not only fill their calendars but also unleash their creativity.
Rodsky calls this vital time Unicorn Space - the active and open pursuit of creative self-expression in any form that makes you uniquely YOU. To help readers embrace all the unlikely, surprising, and delightful places where their own Unicorn Space may be found, she speaks with trail blazers, thought leaders, academics, and countless real people who have discovered theirs everywhere - from activism to artistic endeavors to second careers.
Rodsky reveals what researchers already know: Creativity is not optional. It’s essential. Though most of us do need to remind ourselves how (and where) to find it. With her trademark mix of research based, how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows you a clear path to reclaim your permission to have fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already too-busy life, and unleash your special gifts and undiscovered talents into the world.
Happy Reading!

Hi All,
Happy Woozy Wednesday! I recently finished up books 4 and 5 of the Wizard of Oz Series. I can report that I believe Baum definitely had a vivid imagination! I enjoyed these ones. Here is a short recap for you.
Author: L. Frank Baum
Summary from Amazon:
The Wizard comes back to Oz to stay, with Dorothy via a California earthquake. In this book we meet Dorothy's two good friends who we are sorry did not remain in Oz-—Jim the cabhorse, and Zeb, Dorothy's young cousin, who works on a ranch as a hired boy.
The Road to Oz is the fifth of L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz books. Originally published in 1909,it follows the adventures of Dorothy's fourth visit to the Land of Oz. Meet the Shaggy Man, Button-Bright, and Polychrome as her adventures continue.
Happy Reading!

Happy Book Date Monday!
Stopping by to share my current read...Passing.
Synoposis:
Irene Redfield is a Black woman living an affluent, comfortable life with her husband and children in the thriving neighborhood of Harlem in the 1920s. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry, who is similarly light-skinned, Irene discovers that Clare has been passing for a white woman after severing ties to her past—even hiding the truth from her racist husband.
Clare finds herself drawn to Irene’s sense of ease and security with her Black identity and longs for the community (and, increasingly, the woman) she lost. Irene is both riveted and repulsed by Clare and her dangerous secret, as Clare begins to insert herself—and her deception—into every part of Irene’s stable existence. First published in 1929, Larsen’s brilliant examination of the various ways in which we all seek to 'pass,' is as timely as ever.Once I finish this one, I hope to watch the movie on Netflix.
Happy Reading!
