➜ Friday Finds
& Reader Recommendations – 09-22-2023 <— 29 BOOKS on today's Friday Finds list, Including TWO reader recommendations that gave me a blurb jolt (one is a rejected mate situation & one is
marital strife/pregnant wife one!! <--- I love that one's cover!!)
➜ Trish MacEnulty’s “Cinnamon Girl” is LIVE, it sounds delightfully tumultuous & we have an excerpt & a book giveaway!! <—TEEN ON THE RUN & GETTING IN TROUBLE!! JUST
RECENTLY RELEASED & IS TODAY’S NEWSLETTER SPONSOR!!! “…15-year-old Eli Burnes runs away with a draft-dodger, thinking she’s on the road to adventure and romance. What she finds instead is a world of underground Weathermen, Black Power revolutionaries, snitches and shoot-first police.
Eventually Eli is rescued by her father, who turns out both more responsible and more
revolutionary than she’d imagined. But when he gets in trouble with the law, she finds herself on the road again, searching for the allies who will help her learn how to save herself…“
FUN FACTS? Here are 2 (and there are 3 more on my post):
- All of the historical events in the book are true. James Brown really did go back to Augusta after the riot to try
to help restore peace.
- When I was Eli’s age I really did run away from home with a draft dodger. But I came home safe and sound a few weeks later.
