This book is not light. It’s not an escape. It’s not the sort of book you read to feel better about the state of the world. But when my friend @erinhanbooks says she’s loves something, it’s likely I will too.

Between Shades of Grey is YA historical fiction about Lithuanian families forced into work camps by the Soviets. It’s a piece of history that is rarely talked about, largely due to the enormous loss of life, and the continued Soviet occupation after the war.

My one wish for this book would be that it had an actual ending. We jump straight into an epilogue where we get pieces of how the story might have ended. And while history rarely does us the favor of wrapping things up with a bow, I still hoped for that in this book.

Nonetheless, I’ve added Out of the Easy to my list - also by Sepetys - set in New Orleans in the 1950s.

These were Megan’s sparkly new year's nails that she has since peeled off in a fit of doomscrolling anxiety. Pretty nails don't last long when we're in a constant state of historic events.

We are big fans of finding something to do with your hands to keep your phone out of them. Dip nails have the benefit of taking a good long time to do, while also taking a good long time to destroy.

Are you a nail destroyer? Or do you have the willpower to leave a slight chip alone?

Swipe for an outtake 😂.

Real talk: All of our conversations take place via text these days, but I’m pretty sure this was the “can you believe this sh*t?” face Wendy was making this weekend.

You can swipe to see what we posted to our stories so it's clear what we're about around here.

COVID DISCLAIMER: old photo alert! Megan doesn’t even own that couch anymore.

MEGAN’S TOP TEN BOOKS OF 2020

On our last podcast episode, we talked about our favorites of the year, and I said I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite book, but I would be willing to attempt a top ten. Yes, I like romance novels. Lighthearted romance saved my reading soul in 2020 and I have no regrets. But, we’ve also got spooky, historical fiction, and a double dose of memoirs in the mix.

What books did you love last year?

Merry Christmas Eve to the magic makers. We see you. You’re doing it. Maybe more than usual, maybe less. Maybe everyone gets gift bags this year, maybe just gift cards. We’re almost there. #merrychristmasyafilthyanimal

After polishing off the first bag, Wendy was worried she wouldn’t be able to find another before Christmas! What’s your favorite holiday candy you can only get this time of year?
