Compelling, thoughtful and heartwarming. A truly enjoyable read!

What an amazing sequel and a special tribute to the life of Linus and Arthur. I loved every second!!

I enjoyed learning about the way people dealt with issues about living their lives knowing how much time they had left to live, depending on the size of the string.

5 ?? I really enjoyed this murder mystery. I love all the detective work - it always kept me engaged. The twists and turns were all calculated beautifully. This was a fun one, now I’d like to read more of Harlan’s work!

In this book Karen felt ugly and no longer pretty. She had glasses, and her baby teeth had started to fall out. She knows what would make her pretty and that is a haircut. Though when she went to get her hair done the hairdresser messed Karen's hair and cut it all wrong.

Children's Book Book 2 Time Stoppers Series Annie (a time stopper) has to stop her father from calimiing Aurora. Annie uses her friends and powers to save the town and she tries to destroy the villian , her father.

Not my favorite of the series. I realize it wasn't the biggest of age differences, but as the mother of a 19 year old this book kinda gave me the ick.

5 stars “And no one, nobody on this earth, would list her daughter’s characteristics on the animal side of the paper…She felt she had to convince, that what she had done was right because it came from true love.” pg. 296 Though in the beginning might seem to be a slower read, once you really get into the book, you’ll find collective trauma and love of each and every character. Trauma creates fear, which in turn creates love. The trauma of slavery: being seen as an animal and the set monitary value placed on not only yourself, but other Black people; the fear of slave hunters and klan members coming after you to lynch, burn or kill in other horrific ways; And if not to kill—to dirty your soul and mind. The fear of: Being haunted by the ghosts (both living and dead) from your past; The child that roams the halls in rage of death, but the love of: doing anything for your children, even if it means taking matters into your own hands; slowly opening the tin box that conceals your heart; finally stepping off those porch steps to ask for help, to feel the embrace of another being. For my second Toni Morrison book, this was a great read. I agree wholeheartedly with the statement that Morrison’s books are all about love, especially for Black people and our community.

Another great novel by Kristin Hannah.
