Update msg. 48 - 4/5 :)!

Just completed #8 (language arts) - Midnight in Broad Daylight: A Japanese American Family Caught Between Two Worlds by Pamela Sakamoto. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author's writing is clear and told as a story, rather than a dry recitation of facts. The book is readable, and the figures depicted are inspiring! Someone needs to purchase the rights to this book and adapt it into a film! Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

Just completed #4 (US history pre-1900) - A Lasting Impression by Tamera Alexander. This was a sweet, simple story. I appreciated the description of the Belmont mansion and the historical figures. The plot had some unconvincing details and could have had some portions edited. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Worth reading. 3.5 stars

Just completed #7 (bird on cover) - The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. The last 80 pages of this book were the redeeming factor for me and made the whole book worth reading. I had difficulty with the characters, who were all mired in their own mistakes and inevitably hurt those around them. The book is well-written, and overall, I appreciated it. Worth reading. 4 stars
