Welcome to another edition of Nonna’s Corner where I share books I have read with my grandchildren, affectionately referred to as the Royals here at Caffeinated. To celebrate National Siblings Day I have two delightful books, Snow Sisters! and The Littlest Viking provided by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers a branch of Random House Kids.
As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner was a poignant story set in 1900’s Philadelphia and a portion takes place during World War I, the Spanish Flu and eventual Prohibition. Narrated by Cassandra Morris, Tavia Gilbert, Jorjeana Marie, Abigail Revasch this brilliantly crafted historical fiction shares the Bright families triumphs, heartaches and the bonds that tie them.
It’s time once again for Nonna’s Corner where I share books reviewed by myself and my grandchildren affectionately referred to as the Royals. Today we have a silly bedtime story called, Don’t Blink! written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by David Roberts. Grab a cup of joe and enjoy!
Grey Sister by Mark Lawrence is the second novel in the brilliant Book of the Ancestor series and once again Lawerence transported me to the Convent of Sweet Mercy where Nona must choose her path. Captivating, well-developed and engaging Mark Lawerence is a mesmerizing and skillful storyteller.
Dreaming in Chocolate by Susan Bishop Crispell spoke to me with its foodie cover and promise of magical realism. You’ll want to devour this small-town second chance romance with chocolates that make you dream.
