I think a tasty bagel sandwich with smoked salmon & caper-dill cream cheese with honey-mint lemonade shared with a friend outside in a tiny city garden counts as a #Picnic 🧺🍋🌱🍯🐝💛

That scene in the tagged book inspired me several years ago for my virtual foodie book club.

OK, I‘ve managed a Bail and an almost Pan on this one for my #ReadYourKindle picks in May so far…I‘m on a roll! This one unfortunately was simply boring (not much actually taking place), and there was entirely too much waffling back and forth by the main character on whether one character was a good guy or bad guy. And there didn‘t seem to be much chemistry in the romance portion. Now that I think of it, it really does sound like a Pan.😆 2/5⭐️

My first reading challenge of the year done. This is my second year doing the @onceuponabookclubbox 40 book reading challenge.

It was fun scratching off the squares.

#StorySettings #Skyscraper one of my favorite books of New York City photos. It was a WPA project, many of the structures photographed no longer exist.

The lilies are almost here 💗

Her covers are always so beautiful 😍

A kind of low stakes Fleishman is in Trouble. The pages turn themselves.

Honestly I can‘t really say if this book is more entertaining or disturbing. 😬 a fascinating window into the nyc culinary world of the 80s and 90s and therefore: debauchery 😆 oh my gosh. Some stories! If you would like to be shocked, go for it 🤣 some appalling behavior too that I won‘t forget in a hurry. narrated by the author and you‘ve got to give him credit for telling it like it is.

This the background for the HF novel The Dollhouse (nickname for the Barbizon Hotel) by Fiona Davis - the temporary home for the likes of Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath, Grace Kelly, Betsey Johnson, Eileen Ford models, and many more in the 1950s/60s.

This was.. ok I guess? I did finish it. But I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and the story was very far from being relatable or meaningful. It was more some kind of emotionless reading. Which was ok as well, as it still soothed my forever-thinking head for a moment. #bookspin
