Justin and Wes were adorable and lovely together, and I loved that they were all in, no hesitation. Gay college sports romances are my jam and this one was no different. I laughed, I cried buckets, my heart was in my throat more than once, and I rooted so, so hard for both Ali and Athan and they’re separate groups of friends, family, and allies. This series is, without a doubt, one of the best I have ever read. Storm From the East and Southern Sun, Northern Star by Joanna Hathaway are books two and three in the Glass Alliance series, and they are stunning! I binge read all three books over the Easter long weekend and was left a heaping, sobbing, snotty, unconsolable mess. ![]() ![]() Just click on the images to be taken to the book’s Amazon page. I read 15 books in April and DNF’d one-but we won’t talk about that one because nobody cares. ![]()

And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth.īut fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. Like so many of us, McKibben grew up believing―knowing―that the United States was the greatest country on earth. “I’m curious about what went so suddenly sour with American patriotism, American faith, and American prosperity.” One of the New Yorker 's Best Books of 2022īill McKibben―award-winning author, activist, educator―is fiercely curious. ![]() |
