On the family theme, I just finished The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande. It was hand-sold to me by the owner of Petryoglyphs in the Mercado district. I wasn't aware it was first pubbed in 2012, so on the old side. But really enlightening, espcecially to this older, middle-class white chick. It was a national bookd Critics Circle Award finalist. All about families and how they shape us, both by good and bad examples. I've been wanting to read Margo's Got Money Troubles, so this seems like a good excuse.
Hi Shannon. I need to go check out that store and see what they'll hand-sell me! And yes, I'd love to have you join me in reading Margo. Getting ready to start it soon. Thanks for commenting.
I'm beginning again with you, after falling behind on my reading. So glad the rules of this club are loose! Your dedication to the Booktender these months is inspiring. And I don't know if we can ever really come home again, but I do know we are vital to each other in ways seen and unseen.
I also have a copy of The Last Samurai - I look forward to hearing what you have to say!! Sorrow & Bliss is wonderful and a book I hold very close to my heart (and that’s not just because we have the same name!!) and The Bee Sting again is wonderful. I think you’ll have a good month.
At least all of us were in each others company with having a bad book October.

So glad you are here, Angela. With the cold days where you will be, you’ll want something— anything—to read! It’s true what you say. 💕

Thanks, Martha! I have stacked the deck, haven’t I? Let’s hope we both enjoy our reading more these next few weeks.
I've read Margo's Got Money Troubles and Sorrow and Bliss and loved them both. Great choices.
Yes, I loved your review of MARGO, Marg.
Thanks!
I just finished reading THE LAST SAMURAI today. Touching and highly worth it. The book really holds together
Good to know. I tend to gravitate toward shorter works and am glad to hear I can expect this greater commitment to be worth it.
