pickThis octogenarian love story is so darn cute. I really loved reading it. I thought the elements came together so well - 1920s widowed Brooklyn pharmacist assisted by his aunt, a Jewish Russian woman (I loved her) of potions, to raise his teenage daughters. The crushes his daughters had with two store employees showed just how quickly and how young women rushed to marry. …And the whole way the story unfolds in Florida is just a hoot and a half.

I just realized I used this same book I read & reviewed in 2011 for a similar prompt 5 years ago! 😂 Oh well… it‘s a good one for a #BrokenHeart 💔
pickThis was my rescue (I guess my sister bought it for Kindle) when I ran out of books on the plane and the flight left at 23:15. I have mixed feelings about Jennifer Weiner's writing but found this quite enjoyable. I could relate somewhat to her difficult child and financial worries though my situation was never that bad. I did want to throttle her while she was in denial and thinking she was so much better than others, though.
My #ChatterDay is full of rain. Lots of rain expected and possibly flooding. ☔️🌧️🌂 Right now I‘m getting ready to read some and thought I would introduce you to my #WinterRead2025 🙂
pickSweet read about never being too old for love. Dual Timeline of 1922 and 1987. Twenties period was interesting mix of wanting a career in a typically male field of Pharmacist and Modern medicine vs Apothecary. I really liked that 'Modern Day' was late eighties before cell phones and air travel was easier. Yes, there was a bit of 'wow everyone ended up at the same retirement community in Boca, but it all came together in the end.⬇️
Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

A title with #Roses from my stacks. It‘s been quite a while since I read this one but I‘ve always liked the cover image. 🌹♥️🌹
pickFinished this today in preparation for my real life bookclub this week. It was sweet, cute and cozy but not especially surprising. Just a nice easy read. 3.5⭐️
