I love how the covers of different editions can catch my eye and help me rediscover books I'd added to my TBR ages ago. I also love how bookstores here in Tokyo often spotlight works by authors of Japanese descent as well as books taking place in East Asia. #tbr #tokyo #bookstore
Book mail!
I received my #blinddatewithabook from our latest #LitsyGoesPostalOG swap. 😃
I had no idea what it was from the clues, but I did know it was right up my alley, since historical fiction is my favorite genre (WWII especially), and I'm excited to read this.
Thanks, Kim, and thanks Patricia for organizing again! ❤️
August reads. I liked all except "The Alchemist." "The Diplomat's Daughter" was prob my fav.
I'm usually not one for romance, but this story about a Japanese diplomats daughter falling in love with a son of German born parents in an intermittent camp shortly after Pearl Harbor has me interested. Also, the cover is stunning. Can't wait to read this.
When your novelist friend names a character after you ❤️ (I mean, possibly it's just coincidence, but...)
Finally getting to my summer reading list! My mom suggested The Diplomat's Daughter after she heard a review on NPR. Happily picked it up at the local Politics & Prose in #DC. So far so good! #summerread
pickThis set me off on my new obsession of WWII historical novels. A great book told from three different ppl.
Two of the five books I've bailed on in the past week. I was disappointed that I didn't like these two. I thought the stories, settings, and characters would be interesting, but I didn't like the writing. A combo of too much telling instead of showing and too much of the story being told in flashbacks. I feel like I see this kind of writing frequently and I almost always bail on books like this. I bail a lot, but I still feel guilty doing it!
