This historical novel promises adventure and strong character development. Set in America and Cuba in the 1900s, it will definitely be an interesting story. Thanks for the review!

Today's BOTD is a historical fiction novel that includes elements of romance. Beautiful descriptions and well-developed characters fill the pages, as do themes such as friendship, love, faith, and endurance. I've downloaded my copy! Thank you for the helpful review! :-)

This is an interesting book. While this is a work of fiction, it draws inspiration from real world experience which must be addressed to make air travel safer for everyone. I'll be reading this book and equally recommending it to everyone who enjoys work of fiction. Thanks for the review.

I can imagine that readers who love airplanes will adore the technical details about flying. Although the book takes a different turn than what was expected, the story seems to hold up well. I typically enjoy historical fiction, and I'm thrilled to know that the author did a great job in accurately depicted what life was like in the late 1900s. I appreciate the free book. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

I think I relate to the fact the pilot is resolved to find a perfect situation even if it means paying the price. Great review!

'Official Review: Sticks in the Cloud' by Willard Howe is a thorough glimpse into the engaging historical fiction tale for readers! It gives the readers a concept of the story! The point that the book explores the themes of friendship, faith, love, endurance, and seizing moments is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the author's exploration of a pilot's experiences is a remarkable point for readers in the review! Nice to learn that the story had much to offer and was brilliantly executed!

Seems like this book has a lot going for it
Even though I feel like the book cover isn’t the best looking I’d be willing to give it a chance
