Les lectures de Gribouille: In My Mailbox #96 - Semaines du 17 au 23 septembre 2018

Bonjour à tous !

Je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver aujourd'hui pour mon In My Mailbox.

In My Mailbox (ou IMM) est un rendez-vous mis en place par Kristi, du blog The Story Siren et inspiré par Alea, du blog Pop Culture Junkie. C'est un moyen de partager les livres reçus chaque semaine dans notre boîte aux lettres, mais aussi les livres achetés ou empruntés en bibliothèque.
C'est le blog Lire ou mourir qui s'occupe des In My Mailbox français.

Un IMM tout en anglais, cette semaine encore, avec ...

... les deux tomes suivants de la même série de littérature contemporaine que la semaine dernière (qui, je le rappelle, en compte 24 en tout) :

✦ Circle of Grace

(Home to Heather Creek #3), de Leslie Gould

As crisp autumn air descends on Heather Creek Farm, the kids start to settle into their new home. Christopher is consumed by an exciting new hobby, and Sam is drafted for the high school football team, almost against his will. Meanwhile, Emily is making new friends, reaching out to Rayann, the new girl in town.

But Charlotte has doubts that the girl—and her cute older brother—are a good influence on Emily, and when Emily is invited to Rayann’s lake house, Charlotte must face the tough decisions of parenting all over again. Can she put her foot down without losing her granddaughter’s love? Will Emily listen to her?

As Charlotte struggles with the opportunities and pitfalls of her second chance at parenting, severe storms send a serious threat toward Bedford, and a dramatic rescue reveals the depth of the bonds that tie this family together.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and a cooking demonstration-plus a little nudging from her good friends-inspires Charlotte to start a pie baking business to bring some extra income during this busy time of year.

She recruits her grandkids to help, hoping to pass on the family's recipes as well as their traditions. But when her business takes off, the whole thing becomes bigger than any of them ever imagined-or wanted.
Meanwhile, Sam is pining for a car, emily is on a campaign to improve the food served at Bedford High, and Christopher befriends a lonely outsider whose one mistake leads to a life-and-death situation, In the midst of so many trials, will Charlotte be able to maintain a spirit of thankfulness? Will she even have anything to be thankful for?
