I read this from my partner‘s, @Yenya1954 #AuldLangSpine list. The cover and cadence of the book is right up my alley. I enjoyed the story - of a doctor who suffered great loss which leads him to abandon his practice. He hides on a small lake next door to his BIL. Then, as we‘d expect, he is drawn back into his profession. I enjoyed main storyline and the likable characters. I didn‘t care for all of the cardiac details.
Book 3 done! I love It as is but I think I need to add a border so it matches the other 2 squares 🙃 Any suggestions are appreciated since I‘m still very new 🥰 #bookblanket
pickWow what an amazing book! Loved the illustrations and the story.

Enjoy!
Academics seem to delight in coming up with spiffy new names. If I ever cheat, I plan on telling my husband I was merely “sexually networking,“ the phrase researchers in Nigeria use.
Right after the House of Representatives voted to impeach Clinton, his national approval rating jumped ten points, to seventy-three percent, its highest level ever. Meanwhile, approval for the Republican party plunged twelve points, to 31 percent.
As in American slang, where we have someone “on the side,“ directional phrases are big in the rest of the world as well. Swedes and Russians both “sneak to the left,“ Israelis “eat on the side“ (I'm told this is a particularly crude way of putting it), and Japanese “go off the path.“ The Irish “play offsides,“ a sporting term, while Englishmen “play away.“ For the Dutch, cheating is a jouney in which the culprit “goes strange,“ or, more...
pickThis is a harder review because I loooved the story but also found myself super weirded out at some points (i was torn between pick and so so) but since I finished it in 24 hours, i guess it‘s more on the pick side 🤣 I definitely understand why it‘s so hyped up tho!
I finally balled all my yarn and am ready to start my book blanket 🥰 Only 3 books behind already 😉🤣
I tried to read this for #WithTheBanned -- I feel sure it's an excellent book, but I'm just not in the right head space. Has she written anything... gentler, I could try?
pickWe meet Mimo in the monastery where he has lived for decades as he is dying and reliving his life while the other monks stand by.
We learn of a secret statue in the monastery and of the love between Mimo and Viola that never could be because he was poor and she was an aristocrat.
Beautiful writing that flows and wonderful characters detailed to perfection. 4/5
