Book Deals for an End of January Weekend

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls – ebook
This is a memoir about growing up in a completely dysfunctional family, where the family keeps moving in the middle of the night and the children eventually realize that the parents are never going to pull themselves together. This definitely will make your own childhood look really really easy. I loved this one so much. (Full review here)

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry – ebook
This historical fiction book about WWII was the first chapter book I read on my own and I still love it all these years later. It’s a fast read – when I read it aloud to my girls, we blew through it in about a week and it deserves that Newbery sticker for sure. 

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys – ebook
I’ve enjoyed all of her YA historical fiction books, but I haven’t read this one yet, despite the fact that it’s been recommended to me approximately forty million times. Now I can get myself a copy that won’t be due back to the library. 

Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee – ebook
In 2021, I hosted the book club for Grown-Up Summer Camp and this was the fiction title. Stacey Lee is the author of The Downstairs Girl, which is this year’s April book for the 2023 Everyday Reading Book Club, so it was really fun to dive into this book about twins that end up on the Titanic’s maiden voyage. 

Nighttime Symphony by Timbaland and Christopher Myers, illustrated byKaa Illustration – hardcover
Have you ever felt afraid when a storm came rolling in at night? This book remixes those sounds and lights of a thunder storm into a symphony that will lull you to sleep.
