I loved With the Fire on High so I've already put Tiffany in my Hoopla queue (hopefully it's as good on audio as on the page). I read a ton over the holidays (I was off work for several weeks so I had far more time than usual) and devoured a pile of good books. Top of that list was The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, which was my best fiction book of 2021. But I also liked (and recommend): Fight Night by Miriam Toews; Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano; Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley; Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden; and Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang.

Holiday reading is so fun! Glad you had more time to read this year! I am definitely intimidated by The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois but have heard only amazing things, so I will have to get over my fear at some point!

I was too but I read it in four days, nonstop. I absolutely could not put it down.

I'm with Sarah about With the Fire on High. I loved that book; it's my favorite of the three. I'm going to have to try Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now after this recommendation. Thanks Cassandra.

I also loved With the Fire on High—Acevedo's storytelling is just absolutely stunning!
