The Septembers of Shiraz: A Novel | 
My September #bookspin list looks very similar to that of prior months…but that‘s okay! Plenty of opportunities to tackle #mountTBR while still having room for “mood reading”. How is it September?! And, in a very un-New Jersey twist, my kids head back to school this week…in August! What is happening?! 🤣
bailedI think it might be my mood but I couldn't get into this enough to continue. The setting was done well enough but it just didn't hook me at all. I may try this another time.
September Bookspin/Doublespin list. I can‘t resist…even with a book backlog carrying over from August! 📚💜📚
It's almost September (or maybe already is where you are). Happy almost autumn/spring!
I, for one, can't wait for cooler weather. We are scheduled for a scorcher of a weekend! (40c/103f tomorrow and Saturday)
Anyway hope you will join in #fallintobooks in September!
pickA beautifully written story revolving around the beginnings of the Iranian Revolution in the early 1980's. Isaac Amin, a successful Jewish gems dealer is taken from work without cause one September morning. Thus begins both his & his family's terrible nightmare. This story explores the differences between classes and what happens when power shifts. Good read, ending could have been a bit tighter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
While live streaming my niece's skating tournament, I read about 150 pages of this wonderful debut. Although the storyline is heavy, the writing is light and beautiful making this an easy and pleasurable read. I'm hooked! ❤️Thanks to all of your good wishes yesterday...my niece came in first place today in Junior Pairs!!! #GoHailey Additional congrats to her teammates who finished 2nd & 3rd in Senior Men's skate. 🥇🥈🥉#proudaunt
#RiotGrams Healthy edition of #booksandtreats dried🍏 🍎& almonds 🙂I started Whole30 on Monday ~ other than the horrible headaches, it's going well! Septembers of Shiraz is our April book club choice.
Settling in to finish this gripping family love story. Whether Sofer's writing about the brutal daily life of the wrongly-imprisoned Isaac Amin or the confusing ordeal that his young daughter and wife go through at home among the terrifying Revolutionaries of Iran; the details are what makes this family's tale one of shocked desperation. At any moment, life can change. Appreciate the small things.
No one has ever seen the eye of an ant, the feet of a snake, or the charity of a mullah!
In Monopoly, too, prison is routine. Even the best players have to leave everything and jump across the board to the dreaded box, missing a few turns while the game goes on.
Posting this again for anyone who's interested in joining in the #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept We are on Day 7 / Day 8 depending on your time zone.
