pickThis book sat on my shelf for years, and my first attempt at reading it went nowhere. McEwan‘s writing style isn‘t easy for me—long chapters with little straightforward narrative made it a challenge.
The story is powerful, centered on the lifelong weight of guilt and the pursuit of forgiveness that may never truly be achieved. While the writing style wasn‘t my favorite, the content itself was enlightening and left me with a lot to think about.

1) I am starting to get a bit of my reading mojo back.
2) Visiting my library is full of joy. Pleasantly surprised to see the book I mentioned in #GoodNewsSunday on the new shelf. Also that it supports the ACLU.
3) Pippin showing off his teeth.
4) Lunch dates with friends this week.
5) #BBB

so-soI don‘t know. I just don‘t know. I liked it more than Lizard but it‘s not in the same category as Kitchen or NP. The beginning was great and then it fizzled. But it wasn‘t bad. I‘m just at a loss for words.
pickI have always been drawn to the #mexican culture so a #love story with a mexican background was perfect for me. It was my first book by #quintanaalbertson and was a bit surprised by the 🥵 #explicit scene. I later realized she had written a ton of sexy romances before writing the #loveandtacos triology. Just the fun light love story I felt like reading. 👩🏾❤️💋👨🏻
pickReading this was hard since I just recently lost my dad.. BUT it drew me in right from the get go and I think that loosing my dad was part of the reason why. I felt the grief and anger Sidney felt-although for different reasons. When it got to the secrets of June, it hit home as well because I‘ve been there and so many loved ones have been as well. #abuse #death #manipulation #gaslight #LGBTQ+ #teens #love #loss #friends #family
pickJuly #bookspin pick completed. At nearly 500 pages it took a minute to get through as it covers books 1-5 in the Weetzie Bat series. This was a popular series back in the 90‘s & it was one of the first YA books to have LGBTQ characters & to talk about AIDS. As a middle aged woman I am not the target audience and it‘s a bit too hippy dippy for me now but I would have adored it if I read it years ago. I love the LA setting. Home sweet home.
