I just finished listening to Kate Morton's
The Secret Keeper on audible.
Y'all. This book.
THIS BOOK.
I absolutely loved the duel settings of modern day and WWII, as Laurel attempts to solve the mysteries of her mother's past. Gorgeous. It was a lovely LONG listen--so not for a quick road trip, but certainly worth the investment of time
My high school faculty book club is reading
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. First, his name is pronounced ooh-vuh, which through me for a quick minute (yes, I'm listening to this one, too, and SO grateful because otherwise, I would still be calling this man by the wrong name) but I am really enjoying this book. Ove is a curmudgeon of the first order. Everything has a place and should by god be there. While most folks would overlook him as a bitter old grump, the new young family next door finds a way to connect and bring out the best in him. I have laughed right out loud at this one, and have also found it to be a lovely, poignant story.
You know you have a winner when your high school students start passing around the picture book in the before-school crowd. I heard the "you've gotta read this one right now" whispered from person to person as it made the rounds. #allthefeels
