pick“No two people will ever read the same book”… a truer statement could never be spoken and the premise of this book which I absolutely loved!! This book was a love letter to readers and the books that tie us together!
pick5⭐️ an absolute love letter to a good book and it‘s reaches. Devoured this!
so-soThis was promising but disappointing. I enjoyed the mystery and how it played out, but there were a lot of things about the writing that annoyed me. Most frustrating was that the main character is in her 60s but reads as a LOT younger. Almost across the board, the characters are not developed consistently or convincingly (it‘s never a good sign when you have to count back in a section of dialogue to figure out who said what, (Cont‘d ⤵️)
pickNow I know why this book appears on so many lists of “must read” books. Absolutely charming. And ahead of its time.
I had to answer today‘s #Two4Tuesday questions because of my amusing history with striped shirts!
1. It has to be stripes. A few years ago, I realized I‘d somehow accumulated an unreasonable number of stripey shirts. I was not intentionally amassing large quantities of striped shirts, but apparently I do possess a deep love for the stripe.
2. It‘s somewhat surprising that of the TEN books I have in progress, only one (tagged) is a library book!
I have been so grateful for this community this past week. I spent more time here than I have in a long time and now I remember why I love it so much. This election cycle and the toxic waste from all other social media platforms almost did me in. But this community has people who are the complete opposite of toxic. Thank you. 💙
Wigtown book haul!
Bythell wrote the tagged based on his experience running The Bookshop, where I bought this copy. It's a signed edition & we actually briefly said hello to him as he was taking his recycling out 😅
At the children's bookstore, I found this cute locally written & published picture book for my niece who is obsessed with cows & cowgirls right now
And I'd been looking for a good folklore book - this one has beautiful illustrations
I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book lately and it‘s marvellous!
