Adding it to my list. I like nostalgia. And I agree -- you have a story to write.

I do love historic fiction, and you make that one sound so good. Thanks for both reviews. Actually both sound good, but I only have so many hours in a day.

I hear what you are saying about Cole not working in that industry, but what are the odds of getting an own voices book from someone who was working in slavery? I am hoping he has documented some of his research for the book at the end for people to see and can draw attention to that. The girls in my house do not need another reason to hate distressed jeans (thank goodness, I don't have to be involved in that fashion statement). Good luck ramping up for the next school year. We are on very different schedules. I feel like my break just started.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960920764884687750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-88771667623827217932022-07-12T18:30:42.300-04:002022-07-12T18:30:42.300-04:00I'm looking forward to reading the Star that A...I'm looking forward to reading the Star that Always Stays!

But, I know I'll be reading and look forward to meeting new readers and finding new books to read! Great reviews of these two reads.

Do you offer digital books for your readers? I have heard rumours that this is now a thing where I used to work. I guess the positive side of it is that you don't have to worry about the books deteriorating. <br />BTW, I recently read an article that thrift stores are in trouble because of fast fashion clothing. The kinds of quality items that used to make purchasing attire there are no longer available.

And I hope you have a nice finish to your summer before your return to school.<br /><br />As for the books you've reviewed, The Star that Always Stays sounds like a really enjoyable modern take on the kind of classic books you mention, and Stitched Up sounds like a really impactful read—I had no idea distressed jeans in particular were so dangerous to make, and I think any book that puts a human face on a seemingly-nebulous problem is a valuable one.

I look forward to finding them. We don’t go back to school until August 29 (my last day was June 24). I’m sorry your summer has been uninspired. I hope you do something fun in your last weeks. I’m using mine for rest, recovery, reading, and writing.Stacyhttps://fromwritertoauthor.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
