โ€œBut when I hear people talk about immigrants, I see my mom and dad. I see my neighbors and my friends. I see people with stories, with difficult pasts and fears so big that they keep them up at night. I see people with dreams and hopes for a better life.โ€ (2/2)

I have struggled so much to figure out what I need to say about recent events surrounding ICE, and deportations, and the villainization of immigrants, and I keep coming back to all the things that pushed me to write this book in the first place, and to this sentiment in particular:

I saw someone describe I MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE as โ€œif David and Moira Rose had to get rid of a dead body,โ€ and I canโ€™t think of a more accurate comparison ๐Ÿ˜…โ˜ ๏ธ

Just when I think I have a flawless system in place to make sure I never miss a book with an author as the main character, I find this one from @danaleman.bsky.social that Iโ€™ve never heard of on the new release wall at my library. And itโ€™s fantastic. Go libraries for discovery!

Progress update of my reading goal for the year. Just closed I Might Be in Trouble by @danaleman.bsky.social, a gripping and engaging novel. It has mystery and intrigue, coupled with intense reflection.

One of my favorite books of my 2025 reading list so far.

The cover of the book โ€œI Might Be in Troubleโ€ by Daniel Aleman. It had a pink background, and two of the main characters, David and Stacey, are dragging what seems to be a limp body across the page

Finished @danaleman.bsky.socialโ€™s โ€œI Might Be In Troubleโ€ last night

It really wasnโ€™t about the dead body, ya see ๐Ÿ˜‰

A wonderful page turner with lots of introspection, fun dialogue, and some much needed perspective

Iโ€™ll be rereading it before the year is out

I Might Be In Trouble by @danaleman.bsky.social was so darkly funny & engaging that I read until 1:00 a.m. & had to force myself to go to sleep. Started reading again before breakfast. I love books & itโ€™s rare to find one that I canโ€™t put down. Highly recommended!
