Lost & Found | 
pickIn the few months since I‘ve finished this book, I‘ve thought of Karl, Millie and Agatha often. Unique friendships, quirky characters and astute observations from a child‘s perspective make this story a special universe.
One of my favorite lines: “A fact about the world Millie knows for sure: Everyone knows everything about being born, and no one knows anything about being dead.”
A patron found this in a library book
pickA really cute book about three unlikely people finding each other when they needed it the most.
pickThis book so was cute the only thing I didn‘t enjoy was the ending to many questions?

I've always been a sucker for a quirky book.
pickI‘m convinced more than ever that all I need is 20 or so books and all I need to do is read them one after the other then start again! Seems I read this book in 2014! Reading it again I had no memory of it. Though at times a slight niggling that maybe I had read it before! 😊. Anyway a good read. Found it in an op shop , my original copy long gone. It was around 2014 that I decided not to keep books. @MrsMalaprop
so-soI had high hopes for this one , but I just couldn‘t care about the characters in this book. The child was too smart and too naive , the elderly characters were too eccentric and the ending was too sudden and too contrived. Maybe if I hadn‘t read this at work on my lunch breaks ?
Some #tbr and one I abandoned halfway through. These make up my #autumnreads day 5 #bookombre #photochallenge @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck
Any of these not to be missed?
¿¿Habéis leído Objetos Perdidos de Brooke Davis?? Si no lo habéis hecho ns a que esperais pq está lectura es maravillosa 😍😍
panI was not impressed. Some parts of the book are really poetic and then it switches radically to a different writing style. I feel like the author wrote this in spurts and never bothered to unify the writing. I am reading books on elders for a project, so I'm glad this does have elder characters but I was hoping for a more complete story from this book. It does address masculinity and a bit of abandonment but not in a creative or interesting way.
Fireplace, Christmas music and books🔥📖❄️ thank you @MartiW for the suggestion❤️💫
Love sharing my books. So glad this gem is getting a second read @N.rebecca #lostandfound
There is a lot to be said for judging a book by its cover! This pretty book contains an equally sweet story, complete with my favourite curmudgeonly character of 2015. (Ove obviously wins that title for 2016!) And it's set in Australia! #booktober #debutnovels @RealLifeReading
Charming and heartbreaking, I can't wait to discuss this one with my summer book club on Tuesday.
Usually I'm the one recommending books to my sisters and brother, but it was the reverse this time. And that worked out very well! ❤️
pickAn Australian novel about grief that's funny and sweet without being saccharine. Viewpoint switches between three main characters, done with three voice actors in the delightful audio recording.
The dash between his birth year and his death year didn't seem big enough for a whole life.
Only 50 pages left in Lindy West's brilliant Shrill, but I'm taking a break with something sweet: two lonely oldsters and a small lost girl team up on a road trip in Australia.
pickWhat a lovely book about unusual friendships, growing up, and growing old. Told from three different perspectives, the story stays interesting throughout as you learn more about the characters and their past.
This lovely little novel is my companion this Saturday evening :-)
pickA fun little book about a 7-yr old girl who embarks on a journey, with the help of two octogenarians, to find her mother who has abandoned her.
