I've been trying to find good "travel memoirs" all year and kept getting disappointed. THIS BOOK HIT THE SPOT! She doesn't just talk about the places she's been to as a tourist, but makes personal connections to each place that I felt lacked in the other travel memoirs. I recommend the audio to hear the depth and emotion as the author transports you to Amsterdam, Venice, Cairo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Lisbon, Mexico City, Venice, and Bermuda. Inspiring!

This week‘s library haul, which I picked up just ahead of another big rain. (I like rain, but I like it MORE when it happens outside the times when I wanna go cycling.) I got a bunch of comics for Gay May, plus an experimental novel and the tagged memoir. The Asian Heritage Month display called to me, too, and I chose one cookbook to take away. #gaymay
