This is my current #handbagbook. It's a delightful collection of some of the short stories Levithan has written each Valentine's Day as gifts for his friends. This one is Quiz Bowl Antichrist - written from the point of view of a high school quiz bowl team's resident literature expert. Page 14 is sadly unquotable but page 16 contains this gem.

TheKidUpstairs 😂 Love it! Sounds like a perfect pick for a handbag book. 5y

Finished my #HandbagBook while waiting for my daughter at the optometrist. I've had the book for years but I've never read Disher before. I enjoyed this tale of crooked cops, corrupt magistrates and relatively honourable criminals. The female characters were better than average for this kind of thing, but I could have done without the apparently compulsory random sex scene.

LeahBergen And what will your next #HandbagBook be? 😄 5y
CarolynM @LeahBergen Good question. My usual handbag only fits small books, so I might go for another old one that's been sitting on the shelf for awhile. I probably won't decide until next week. (edited) 5y

Cathy, you are so lovely! Thank you for such a delightful parcel and your kind wishes. I agree Hugo Best looks like a perfect handbag book, and A Thousand Acres has been on my radar for years but I've never gotten around to it. Much love to you. Thank you again.😘

Cathythoughts You‘re so welcome Carolyn. ! I‘m glad it arrived safely .... I hope you‘ll like A Thousand Acres as much as I did , whenever you may get there. Cathy XXX ( does the handbag book idea have a hashtag yet ? It‘s your call 😁😘📚👜 5y
LeahBergen How nice! ❤️ 5y
CarolynM @Cathythoughts I never think of hashtags but yes, I think we should definitely see if we can get #handbagbook trending😂😂 5y
