Book Deals to Wrap Up January

Here’s what caught my eye this weekend!
Book Deals to Wrap Up January
The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth – audiobook
This book was one of my favorites from the 2021 Summer Reading Guide! It’s the story of two sisters who grew up with a very difficult mother and got each other through it. Now they’re both adults and still lean on each other, although Fern relies much more heavily on Rose, who is the more stable of the two. But when Fern discovers that her sister can’t have the thing she most wants – a baby – Fern decides this might be the moment she can pay Rose back for a lifetime of taking care of her. What could possibly go wrong?
Stardust by he audiobook version is also on sale for $4.99.)
You Need a Budget by Jesse Mecham – audiobook
Someone recommended this one to me on Instagram and I immediately checked it out from the library. You know me – I never shy away from a money book! This finance book shares four essentials rules to budgeting and money to help you stop living paycheck-to-paycheck and save more.
The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies – audiobook
I read this one years ago when I was a school librarian and it was SO popular with my students. Two siblings, Evan and Jessie, are both smart, but in different ways – one is people smart, while one is more math smart. When they each bring their talents to a competition to sell the most lemonade, it’s going to be an all-out battle.
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin – audiobook
I LOVE Gretchen Rubin and this book, which really made a name for her. It is so delightful and perfect for a reset time, which is what I see the beginning of a new year as. (Full review here)
Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan – audiobook
This beloved Newbery winner is the story of Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton who comes out to the prairies from her home in Maine when Papa advertises for someone to come join their family as a wife and mother. (This one is a Libro.fm title, which means you can make it into a Yoto card!).
The Longest Letsgoboy by Derick Wilder – audiobook
This gentle book follows a girl and her dog through the dog’s last day of life. Told by the dog himself, on his last walk on the earth, he beautifully describes all he sees, feels and smells. This book is so well done would be a great way to open up a dialogue after the loss of a beloved pet. (I just included it this week on my book list of picture books about death and loss).
