What We’re Reading: This Is How It Always Is
I recently read 'This Is How It Always Is' by Laurie Frankel. Published in 2017, this book came onto my radar after reading Frankel's 'Family Family.' The novel tells the story of a midwestern family of seven: Mom Rosie, Dad Penn, and five kids. Mom is an ER physician, Dad is an author working on his DN (damn novel), and all five children are unique, rambunctious, and eager to hear Dad tell stories at bedtime.

What we're Reading: New Boy
My choice for Adventures in Bookclubbing book club was 'New Boy' by Tracy Chevalier. It is a retelling of Shakespeare's classic tragedy 'Othello.' Set in the 1970s, it takes place on an elementary school playground throughout the course of one school day. It's told in 5 parts, made up of several recesses, after-lunch, and after-school times. The characters are primarily 6th graders, and their world revolves around who has a crush on whom, who is breaking which rules, and who has studied for the latest test.
