I am so glad that I decided to join the Overbooked book club, a local book club here in Carson City, Nevada. I joined back in October 2022.
For the month of December 2023, our book to read was Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.
Here is what the book is all about.
"Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities."

I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. This is the review I left on Goodreads, Instagram, and Amazon. (To see how I gage my star rating, you can check out my past blog) https://alisonshanereads.wixsite.com/alisonshanereads/post/how-i-rate-review
This book was picked for a local book club I am a part of. This one was just ok for me. Didn’t hate it and didn’t love it.
It was so depressing most of the time. I love a good book with trauma, but it was just eh to me. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood to read this. As someone who live in Knoxville, I did appreciate the references to the area that I could relate to.
Please remember that these reviews are based off of my own opinions and my preferences. I always encourage you to read a book for yourself to make your own review. What I might not like, you might love and vis versa.

For the month of December 2024, we are reading Banning Santa by Mikael Carlson
Thanks for Reading!
