Well written... I just didn't think a whole lot happened throughout the book.
pickTwo beautiful souls found each other and survived many a danger and toils. This was an interesting tale told slowly and surely and with much description. The pacing lagged at times. This isn‘t my typical fare but it was enjoyable.
Checked in on my 2025 reading goals today. I had wanted to read 30 print books and listen to 30 audio books. I have met my audio goal, I'm at 30 but only at 22 print books with a month to go... I know I'll finish two print books this month (one of them tagged) but I also have a lot of mahjong to play, so I'll just take the L. 🤣
pickThe book is split into two parts, and, while the language and characters are wonderful, I just didn't feel engaged with the story for part one, to the point I almost stopped reading; however, just before the split, the story explodes, and it was a quick read after that. There is a beautiful normalcy in the interactions between the deaf and hearing characters on Martha's Vineyard, and the author takes great care to describe the signing.
Yet another Wednesday, yet another cocktail + book! I really enjoy having an evening just to decompress with good food, good drink, and a good read. This week, the cocktail is from their holiday menu and called the Ron Burgundy (scotch, apricot brandy, cinnamon, lemon, and a float of Pinot Noir). Perfect for a cold December evening!
pickThis was a cute little story. I‘ll have to see about getting the next book in the series, to see what happens next. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Historical Fiction because I always learn something. For instance, I didn't know that Taft had a bill to censor what books could be read by our military in WWII. The Armed Service Editions (ASE) sent books for soilders to read while they were overseas. A lot of the soilders ended up having a life long love of reading because of the ASE. There was one topic I didn't care for in the book, which brought down my rating. 4⭐️ 3m
