Beautiful day for taking Cosmo out for a walk or two while listening to the tagged audiobook (it‘s really well done with multiple narrators)🐶🐾🍁🍂 #BeautyBreak
Not feeling well so I prescribed myself some ice cream and light reading until medicine kicks in.
pickIt‘s the ‘90s & Frida is living in Paris when she writes a bookstore in Seattle to request a book. So begins the correspondence between her & bookseller Kate. This is very much in the vein of 84 Charing Cross Road, which I love. As they correspond they push each other to try new things and expand their horizons. A sweet epistolary novel that was such a fun read. I enjoyed this author‘s Love & Saffron a bit more, but this one was still a delight.
pickThis was a good epistolary set in the 1990‘s featuring a bookshop in Seattle. Oh if you are hungry don‘t read this. I listened to this as an audiobook and I loved it.
pickWilmur & Viola‘s boring life gets interrupted when a mysterious person crashes through their front door. Everything about her screams danger, but the 2 children are willing to trade anything to try & get away from the island. & so they meet pirates, royalty, & secrets.
Loved it! Characters were all engaging, pacing was great, world building was wild. My only complaint is that the end is less cliffhanger & more cut off in the middle.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Fabulous book + fabulous dog. I think I snagged THE SCANDALOUS LETTERS OF V AND J during one of those Stuff Your Ereader events, and I‘m super happy with Past Me‘s choices. This gender bending epistolary historical fantasy is all kinds of moreish. I know what I‘m doing with the rest of my evening.
pickKate and Frida become pen pals when Frida requests a book from the bookshop where Kate works. From Paris to Seattle, the letters allow each girl to move through their 20s. Set in the 90s so I loved all of the references. Good quick read.
