I know we usually rely on @TheBookHippie for Yiddish lessons but this word came up in my book twice already and I had to look it up! I like the positive connotation behind it

This is the November pick for my local LGBTQ+ book club. My first Highsmith, a lot of my expectations were subverted. I am really looking forward to discussing it.
I don‘t really have any other words in my brain right now… maybe I‘ll come back and edit this review when I‘m feeling loquacious, but for now this sparse vagueness is all I‘ve got. Despite that, I didn‘t want to wait too long to review this. I know I‘ll forget otherwise.

Another afternoon at my favorite cafe with a rose iced tea and a book I can't put down. Something light and lovely is just what I've been needing! #CurrentlyReading

A quick read about family secrets, loneliness, and grief. I liked the way the story unfolded, and felt for all of the characters. The emotional power was undeniable.

I finished my awesome puzzle yesterday afternoon, and Cherie Dimaline and I are back on track with her Secret Garden remix! The original is one of those books Tiny Me drifted away from so I can‘t claim to know the source material well, but from a pure storytelling perspective I love everything Dimaline‘s doing here. #audiopuzzling

Wow! Listened to this audiobook and I loved it. It had the feel of a Dicken‘s novel with lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing about who was up to what throughout. I‘m glad I finally took the time for this one.
