#LitLite Evocative and whimsical/ set in 1930‘s #Malaysia while still a British colony. There‘s mystery and romance and a touch of Chinese mythicism. Audio was wonderful. A bit melodramatic at times but still enormously engaging. #ReadingAsia21 #Pop21 #AdvancedPrompt

Florence Adler Swims Forever: A Novel | Rachel Beanland

pick

This was my choice for #SummerNostalgic #PopSummer20
And I could not have chosen a better book. I grew up hearing stories about my father‘s childhood summers on the NJ shore & then years later my own summers were spent in Atlantic City. This book was historically accurate & downright believable. Rachel Beanland captured the time & place so authentically. The multi cast narration was wonderful. A perfect summer read🏖 Shoutout to Steel Pier 🎡🎠🎢

Reviewsbylola There‘s a page on Florence Adler in one of our books and my Florence loves to read about her namesake. I think it‘s

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2

Cinfhen That‘s cool @Reviewsbylola but in the author‘s note she said her great aunt was named Florence Lowenstein so I‘m guessing Florence Adler is not the same person. What did Florence Adler in Rebel Girls do???? (edited) 5y

Queen Sugar: A Novel | Natalie Baszile

pick

I‘d say this book is #LitLite
There is nothing WOW or outstanding about this story but it‘s still a pleasant read with some meaty parts. I thought the setting & place, #Louisiana really did shine through and I enjoyed being transported down south. The narration helped to enhance the author‘s prose. Book was better than I was expecting.
