“We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called “fate,“ the other on the horse called “free will.“ And the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?”
Endless airport waiting time + book store = new book. No surprise here😂 wanted to bring something home from this memorable trip to Bali and Lombok and this one caught my eye!
pickThe profound story of the author's adventure is an experience that anyone and everyone can relate to, regardless of age. Making “Eat, Pray, Love“ an unforgettable experience for anyone to enjoy.......

Our summer reading theme this year is 'Tell Your Story', and we've been encouraging patrons and staff to share their stories! I decided to talk about one way in which books saved my life! 📚 💙 Give it a quick watch if you get the chance! Books really are magical! 😄
And please tell me about a book that saved you/inspired you/motivated you here in the comments!

💬Here, she's laid-back and cheerful and like...a woman instead of a mother, which is utterly weird.
Oh god, it just strikes me that maybe she's got a crush on someone. Maybe it's George's dad. Eww. Can people in their late thirties even have crushes? That's, like, way ancient to have a crush. 💬
A bit like ‘Crazy Rich Asians‘ in that an American Born Chinese (ABC) is brought back to Asia and has to cope with a culture (in this case Indonesian-Chinese) and family that she knows nothing about.
Ch 8 - hilarious because it‘s obvious (from the quality of English) that the parents are setting up their kids on a dating app, but they don‘t realise and are thrilled that they‘ve found perfect (by their lights) partners.
bailedI tried and I just could never get invested into the story. I kind of felt she thought others were responsible for her happiness. So I bailed and glad I did. At least I can mark this one of my TBR mountain.
