Some Great Book Deals for Mother’s Day Weekend

Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I’ve read every book Taylor Jenkins Read has written and I think this is her best one. Carrie Soto is the best tennis star tennis has ever seen. She’s been retired for six years and now someone young and up and coming is gunning for her title. Well, Carrie Soto is not about to let that happen, so she comes out of retirement, asks her dad to coach her again, and she is going to do everything in her power to try and keep that title (even though being a 35 year old tennis star is not the same as being a tennis star in your twenties). I blew through this book in a single sitting in one afternoon. I LOVED it so much!

The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore
Her audiobook Radium Girls has been recommended countless times, and I have been meaning to read it. But this one about Elizabeth Packard, a woman who was wrongfully committed to an insane asylum by her family in the early 1800s, sound just as intriguing!

Only the Beautiful by Susan Meissner
Susan Meissner does fantastic historical fiction and I’ve loved all her books I’ve read. This one about Rosanne, a young woman institutionalized and silenced in 1930s California, and Helen, an American in Nazi-occupied Europe fighting to save lives, shares how they are bound in a way they would have never expected.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis
When the Watson family go to visit Grandma in Birmingham, Alabama in the summer of 1963, the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, their world is turned upside down. This Newbery winner is a classic and I can’t wait to read it with the girls – I read it years ago and I’m looking forward to revisiting it!

The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits by Jennifer Weiner
This is one that I just started last week! Sisters Cassie and Zoe skyrocketed to fame as the Griffin Sisters in the early 2000s, only to vanish from the spotlight after a sudden and unexplained breakup. Now, two decades later, Zoe’s daughter is determined to uncover the truth, forcing all three women to reckon with the past.

The Match by Sarah Adams
I have read 4 of Sarah Adams’ books and just love how delightfully fun and fluffy they are (The Rule Book is my favorite of hers so far). This one is all about finding love where you least expect it…and for Evie Jones it’s while helping a 10-year-old girl with epilepsy find the perfect service dog. Evie thinks she has already found the love of her life in her own service dog, but when sparks begin to fly between Evie and Jacob – the father of the young girl – she might find healing and love when she needs it most.

Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston
I read this aloud to my children and we were all completely sucked in! Amari’s mourning the disappearance of her beloved older brother (the police say he’s almost certainly dead), but when she gets a pre-recorded message from him, she discovers that there is a supernatural world she’s known nothing about and that her brother was heavily involved before his disappearance. Joining this world isn’t going to be easy, but she’s willing to do whatever it takes to find out what happened to her brother. And she better mean it, because “whatever it takes” turns out to be a LOT. (This one is a Libro.FM deal so you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
