It is hot and dusty where we live. Some people think it's dirty but they don't know much about us. They haven't seen our gardens full of lemongrass, mint, cilantro, and basil. Driving by with their windows rolled up, they've only seen the pigeons pecking at day-old rice and the skinny cats and dogs sitting in the skinny shade of skinny trees. Have they seen the berries that we pick, that turn our lips and fingertips red?
pickThis is really lush❤️ There's a cute little love story at the heart of it, but what I really loved was the insight into Vietnamese culture/food. Looovely stuff🙌
6 books read, 94 to go! #JumpStart2023
Has anyone else been so stressed out the last few days that they're having trouble reading? I've sat down with this book a dozen times and have still only made it 20 pages in. 😕
Reading is supposed to be my escape from all of this...
Starting my final #LMPBC book for this round! This one looks cute, so it should be a pretty quick read. My goal is to have it in the mail by the end of the week.

pickThis one was super fun! Great pick, @Shadowfat
I will get this in the mail soon! #lmpbc @GondorGirl @peanutnine
pickRealized that I never posted a review on this #LMPBC book. It was a sweet YA play on Romeo and Juliet, with two kids from rivalling family restaurants. I liked the insight into vietnamese food and culture 🍚🇻🇳
My hold for this audiobook came in, so I‘m starting it today and will just fill in my notes when the paper copy gets to me 😊

pickTwo pho restaurants, two families at odds, two teens who think their parents are being ridiculous and decide to put the past behind them as they try to be true to themselves and their own hopes and dreams. A fun YA story that touches on immigration, culture, shared history, tradition, family and friendship.
