She's done it again! One of our favorite writers, Patricia Leavy, has a new novel that is, already, the must-read book of the year. Twinkle of Doubt is a testament to the humanity in our lives—the joys of love, friendship, and laughter, as well as the challenges of trauma and life-changing events. I started reading it as a gift to myself and wished that I had it sooner to hold in my heart during the last difficult year.
I’ve got the BEST picture book to share with you. It’s perfect for read-alouds, classrooms, sports teams, and all kinds of live action readings (ask me how I know!).

One of our favorite authors, Patricia Leavy, delighted us earlier this year with Shooting Stars Above. Now she’s back at it with a sweeping love story I couldn’t put down, Cinematic Destinies. By the time I was done, there were happy tears rolling down my cheeks. This book is that good.
Did you ever wonder about the intricacies of cross-cultural families, reasons for immigration, and family history? It’s so interesting…and complex.
I loved Such Good People, a new book by Amy Blumenfeld. It’s a book about friendships, relationships, life, and how both our choices and our character are always a part of our stories.
What does it mean to delve deeply into your life to write a novel? How do you even start? How does an author write deep, diverse characters?
Such were the questions that AJ Frazier worked through to write his new novel, Mariel.
He answered them, and then some, in this fascinating thriller that encompasses extraordinarily complex themes in a new and interesting way.
