🌷April Book Picks🌷
▪️No, April Fool’s here, your @bookfriendsbookclub hosts: @bigskybooks and @mommaleighellensbooknook have THREE picks this month. One, from a favorite author, @amy.harmon.author who we are reading with for the 4th time!!
🌷First up we’re going back to school and reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain!
▪️Mark Twain’s classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) is told from the point of view of Huck Finn, a barely literate teen who fakes his own death to escape his abusive, drunken father. He encounters a runaway slave named Jim, and the two embark on a raft journey down the Mississippi River.
🌷Next we will follow up and read James by Percival Everett:
▪️James is a brilliant reimagining of the story of Huckleberry Finn from James (Jim) point of view. An absolute masterpiece I’m declaring the book of the year!! Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a “literary icon” (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature. @doubledaybooks
🌷Lastly we will read The Outlaw Noble Salt by Amy Harmon:
▪️A sweepingly romantic tale of risk, redemption, and what happens when America’s most famous outlaw (Butch Cassidy) falls in love. Amy’s lyrical writing and the brilliant characters are something you don’t want to miss! OUT 4/9 @amy.harmon.author
