pick“The Magic of Ordinary Days” movie was my comfort watch for years, but I‘ve never noticed it was a book.
I decided to read it now because we just drove through southern Colorado. Also Camp Amache recently became National Historic Site. I really enjoyed the book. Historical context was fascinating. I loved the romantic story line as well, but I felt it wrapped up a little too quick . The book is darker than the movie, but there‘s beauty in that.
so-soJust a tad too twee in parts and given what‘s potentially happening to women‘s reproductive rights in the US it wasn‘t a good time for me to read it. That isn‘t a fault of the writer or writing.
The name of the narrator!
So sorry I forgot to take a photo, but your #LMPBC book should arrive around next Tuesday (3/8) @DanaManiac . I have the tracking number so please let me know if you don‘t receive it in a timely fashion. 😊 Enjoyed your pick!
@kimmypete1 @suvata
@TheAromaofBooks Sarah, mine arrived today! Thanks! 😊
pickThis was my final #LMPBC book, and I enjoyed it. Livvy is a young woman who finds herself in a delicate condition after being abandoned by a soldier during WW2. Her father sends her to rural CO to marry a farmer sight unseen. Ray is a quiet, gentle man still grieving the loss of his brother in the war and is hoping for companionship and eventual love with Livvy. There are actually two stories here. Livvy has to adjust to her totally different 🔻
pickThis was my #LMPBC book for January so I don't want to say too much. Basically, I really liked the story, but really didn't like the main character haha She was incredibly self-absorbed, and I thought she stayed that way all the way through.
Final book for #JumpStart2022 as I did finish this Monday!! @Lizpixie @Clwojick
#Pantone2022 - Fragile Sprout - it seemed like it matched better in real life haha @Clwojick

@TheAromaofBooks this will be on your way shortly. It‘s all packaged and ready to go, but it‘s snowing here in VA - which pretty much means the end of the world. @DanaManiac @robinb #LMBPC
pickFinished! #LMPBC @TheAromaofBooks @DanaManiac @robinb
No thoughts here, I‘ll leave them in the book.

I am currently working on these three books, all of which were on my December #BookSpinBingo card so I‘m motivated. “Luckily” I‘ve been feeling under the weather so that makes it perfect for getting some reading in. Confident I can finish The Magic of Ordinary Days and The Christmas Wedding.
pick4.5 ⭐️
~ I really enjoy love stories where the characters take time to fall in love.
~ Livvy's character is frustrating but absolutely believable, considering what she went through.
~ Ray's life is very simple and he seems simple, but is complex and so kind.
~ I fell in love with the movie years ago and decided to check out the book. So glad I did!
#LMPBC Round 13
Le sigh… I thought that I entered a reading slump, but all along I just needed to change books. I started my #LMPBC book halfway through the month, and could never get past chapter 1. It might be the wrong book or it might be the wrong time. But, I finally accepted over the weekend that I needed to change gears. Last time I pushed through a bad book, no one else read it! 🤦🏾♀️ I devoured the new pick and now it will be on its way tomorrow! ☺️
I have about seven more but they wouldn‘t really fit in the picture. I have a hobbit plant, another string of pearl, one like string of pearls but bigger, two I don‘t know the names of, and several aloe plants #bookandplants #succulents @jfalkens
pickA historical fiction set during WWII stateside. Once you finish check out the Hallmark Channel movie of the same name both are very well done.
pickA friend lent me this beautiful book set in the American West during World War 2. Olivia has an arranged marriage, and she befriends two sisters who are nearby Japanese interns. Life is both simple and complex.
