It‘s time for my monthly #BookishMonopoly! I rolled another lucky 7 and landed on “Nonfiction.” Since I was so enamored by Pat Conroy‘s beautiful writing last month, I chose the tagged book. It was published in 2016, sadly the year Pat lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. It‘s a collection of Pat‘s most charming and memorable interviews, articles & letters as well as tributes honoring his legacy. He left us too soon. 😢

pickWhy did I wait so long to read such stunning prose from this masterful author? Everything in this book left me gobsmacked: stirring essays on classic authors Pat obsessed about & the English teacher who challenged him to dig deeper into literature. What really got me was how beautifully this man could write.🤩Each sentence sculpted with perfectly chosen words that danced off the page directly into the heart. Genius!

Not that easy to see, but my next roll in #BookishMonopoly brought me to "series vol 2". I had to think a little about this, until I realised that the next step in that giant of a book is the second Eisenhorn novel. So here we go!

pickA more feminist version of “Goodnight Mister Tom“ with a pony instead of a dog. A book that crashed me in the best way possible. I barely managed to read the first chapter, but I had tears in my eyes when I saw how Ada and Jamie grew. And not only them, but also Susan. How this family grows stronger and stronger, and proves that family is not only made by blood. Highly recommend, especially now.

Hey there Littens. I have been thinking i need to be back on here more. I only post maybe once or twice a month. Also want to be able to help some of u if u are in a slump or dont know what to read. I know I already do #BookishMonopoly, but thought I could do some type of weekly prompt or something to spark a fuse to inspire someone to pick up a book. Would that be something u guys would want?? What day would be good to post?? What Hashtag??
