Finished recently:
Up in Honey's Room by Elmore Leonard. Continues the story of Carl Webster, the Hot Kid of the US Marshall's Service, first told in Leonard's "The Hot Kid" book. Set close to the end of the war it follows Carl as he tries to track down escaped Nazi POWs and encounters Honey Deal, ex-wife of Walter Schoen, German-born but now running a butcher shop in Detroit, he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS. I discovered Elmore Leonard after watching the Justified TV series and "The Hot Kid" and "Up in Honey's Room" are the first books of his I have read that are set prior to the "modern day" setting. Don't want to give away much of the plot but the book's appeal is in the banter between the different people and the setting of late 1940's Detroit as well as Leonard's prose.
Ghosts, a YA graphic novel about two sisters and their family after a recent move to a Northern California coastal town. Catrina, the older sister, is upset at having to be uprooted and leaving all her friends and tries to deal with the fact that it was all done because Maya, the younger sister, has cystic fibrosis and will benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in from the sea. The book explores family, tradition (via the Dia de los Muertos festival), and how ghosts are not to be feared but accepted as a way to honor one's ancestors and establish a heritage to one's past.
My younger daughter read this one first and I was worried that the book might have ended on a sad note (due to the cystic fibrosis in the younger sister) so I read it afterward in case she wanted to talk about it. I liked how the book ended with an uplifting message about the bonds that hold family together and living life in the moment, and she did too.
Also would like to give thanks to my local library system, which has a pretty good interface for finding and holding books via the online website, as well as the online system for scheduling a pickup of books held. My family and I have been making a lot of use of the library system during the Pandemic and it's an excellent way for us to find and read new books.
