pickThis is a pick with issues - I liked how it ended. I‘ve read most of Jennifer‘s books and always appreciate how she builds an interesting FMC whose physical appearance wouldn‘t put her in the running to replace Margot Robbie in a Barbie movie. But geez, this was brutal (TW to those whose families made them feel invisible for who they were). I just wanted to reach in the pages, befriend Cassie, and convince her she mattered.
pickAnother Richard Osman raced through in a day 🙂 I feel like I like each one more than the last! Such an enjoyable distraction.
Love this section of the book and brings me back the wonder I had upon being introduced to the library as a kid.
“Books everywhere.
So many books, more books than I'd ever seen all in one place. The backs of books, in rows that reached up to the ceiling, books and books and books, at every level, high and low, piles of them, shelf after shelf of them.
Wherever my eye went, books.
Oh! I said.“

My nominations for camp Litsy. There were so many to choose from!!
pickThis novel spans the history of a family for three generations, jumping around from Y2K New York and ending with Chairman Mao in China. It gets a lot into DNA and the meaning of time. I liked it a lot, especially the part about Chinese history. I grew very attached to these characters. It was a compelling story.
Fell asleep reading this last night and had the weirdest dreams. Do not recommend.
