Out This week: New Blessings book

The twelfth – and seemingly final – book in Beverly Jenkin’s Blessings series came out on Tuesday. Calling all Blessings is promising one storyline about Tamar, the town matriarch, having to come to terms with her past and one about Devon, who first appeared in the series as an eight year old foster child, and is now a teenager and is still struggling to figure out who he really is. I really love this series – I first heard about them when Ms Beverly was on Smart Bitches Trashy Podcast years and years ago, and then started reading them when the library I was a member of in Virginia had copies in their e-book lending programme. I read nine of them in about two months, and since then have bought the new ones as they’ve been released. I had this one pre-ordered and traditionally read this very quickly after release, but if it is the last one, I may try and save it because I don’t want it to be over.
