pickHow to read a book, according to “How To Read a Book”: slowly – savoring the story, the “meanwhile”, the turn of phrase that makes you catch your breath just a little. The characters were so relatable and I felt like I would want to meet them and call them friends. So thoughtfully written and full of soul filled moments that make you think about life, love and the beauty of human connection.
Book 1/100 of the year.
so-soI enjoyed it but for some reason I wasn‘t in a rush to keep picking it up. Yet I didn‘t want to stop reading it. I liked the charachters but I think it never felt like it was leading up to anything

pickI‘ll be recommending this now to every person I see for at least the next entire calendar year 😭❤️🥹
Such gorgeous writing, in that refreshing takes-your-breath-away sense, and such a unique story full of humans trying their best against all odds. Found family, hearts broken and mended, and the power of books… My friend lent this to me, and WOW am I grateful.
pickLove the early evening sun on this adorable cat and I very much enjoyed this book. Made me laugh, made me cry a tear or two, or maybe a few of those taken-by-surprise hit to the chest teariness, ya know? Poor decisions have consequences and sometimes overcoming fears have fabulous results. Found-family stories are my jam.

Am loving this book! Enjoyed T‘s birthday party last night ( band was 🔥) and TODAY is International Day of Tolerance… Reading along when this book has the word TOLERANCE so I made this collage. #PettyCash Roadtripping back home now.
Next up eBook style. Mini Lemon Chess Pies for a 🥳 birthday party tonight. #RoadTrip #iLovePie #CaresPieShow #LitPie
I love #bookspin and #doublespin day! Always look forward to seeing which books from my TBR I will definitely read this month. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks
pickPretty good semi-humorous story of a twenty-something girl with a dysfunctional family and an obsession with the book, Treasure Island. Parts are kind of gritty for a funny book, but I mostly liked it.
Could not resist starting ANOTHER book that looked appealing. I like the idea of it.
