Finally Friday - The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

The Giver of Stars  by Jojo Moyes is a decent  read.  Alice Wright is swept off her feet by an American, Bennett Van Cleve, and she eagerly escapes her life  in England. It's 1937 and alas, she  finds herself stuck in Kentucky expected to have  babies and care for the menfolk (i.e. her husband  and domineering  father-in-law)

Her husband doesn't want  to touch her. She's being blamed for their "troubles".  She's friends with the considered "wild" Margery O'Hare and hires on to bring books to the isolated living  in  the wilderness. Suddenly, the town turns against the library, the women, and Alice  must  fight for  her  friendships,  her true love, and the  chance  to live the life she desires.  Go Alice!   It's now  2022 and so many women still deal with the  same  issues.  It's crazy. 

And yes  - Hocus Pocus 2 is back!!   It's Autumn!   We are finally cooler in TX.
