pickSafely in Wales and curled up listening to the rain, finished this after reading most of it in the car. It's a weak pick, the style (or the translation) didn't work for me that well, but it's an interesting set of constraints on time travel -- and how even constrained time travel can be worth it.
Here's my "distraction" bingo card after day 1 of 5!
Plucked out of my Little Free Library. Thanks, unknown book friend!

pickI was surprised by the negative Kirkus review. I enjoyed this story of four generations of women haunted by losses. Each generation has a gift related to memory and this gift leads them on sometimes foolhardy paths as they seek to find answers about a sailor that faced an angry whale. 🐋 This unusual novel earned a 3.5/5 ⭐️ rating for reminding me that the relationship between mothers and daughters can be complicated.

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️
“He thought about how love could move you in ways you wouldn‘t have imagined, one foot in front of the other, even when you thought you had nothing left inside.”
