- I didn't read any books for fun this month. Zero. None. But I did read a lot of stuff for school and enjoyed it all very much. Top choice: "The Lonely Londoners" by Sam Selvon, a groundbreaking 1950s novel about the Windrush generation in London, written entirely in the Creole dialect, detailing the stories of a group of West Indian men living in a London that didn't want to let them into its heart.
- I didn't read my "best book" choice this September. Actually, I read it about a year ago, but it got its cover this month from Simon & Schuster and, by golly, I'm insanely excited to see it on the shelves next May! Here it is:
Moonglass by Jessi Kirby (from goodreads): A contemporary YA novel about a girl who, years after her mother's death, gets a fresh start in a new seaside town. She seems to be outrunning the past, but discovers that the sea glass she wears around her neck is not just a token of her mother's memory but a connection to the very stretch of water she now calls home.
Isn't it just beautiful?!
THere's nothing more frustrating when you don't get to read the stuff you want to read.
ReplyDeleteMoonglass sounds great!
That is one of the prettiest covers I have ever seen. *swoons*
ReplyDeleteIt was about a year ago, huh? Aw... You were my first (and best) beta reader. And now my friend. So happy to have you for both!
ReplyDeleteVery cool cover! The premise sounds great as well.
