Books And Bites

 On this episode, we ring in the New Year with the Winter-Spring 2024 Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge! From now through June 30, 2024, keep track of books you read or listen to by writing the title and author in the matching bingo square. Complete all 25 squares for a chance to win a $100 Joseph-Beth gift card or an Amazon Kindle. You’ll also earn an enamel pin (while supplies last). Ease into the challenge with our suggestions for books you can read in one sitting. Grab a cozy blanket to read under, and you'll be able to check off two prompts on your bingo card. Carrie's PickFoster by Claire Keegan is about a young Irish girl sent to live with distant relatives while her mother prepares to give birth to yet another child. The Kinsellas give the girl the care and attention that is sometimes lacking in her own chaotic home. But there are details to suggest that the couple has their own sadness.This is a quiet, spare story full of tenderness and the solace these three bring to one another.Pairing: Rhu
