Hey, #europacollective Littens - this looks great! And it‘s free!

Hopefully the link below works:

https://www.bookpassage.com/event/anne-berest-postcard-online

Unfortunately the timing doesn‘t work for me (it‘s way past my bedtime here in the UK!) but hopefully some of you can make it.

BarbaraBB That must be great indeed! Thanks for sharing yet way past my bedtime as well 🥱 18h

My #bookspin for May is Ruth Reichl‘s memoir Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table, which has been languishing on my shelf for more than five years. But my #doublespin is the tagged book, which I impulse-purchased a month ago based on how much I loved her book Our Fathers (thanks #europacollective!)

TrishB The tagged one is great too. I really love this author so far! 2w
willaful Oh, I love Reichl's memoirs! I hope you'll be inspired to read them all after this. Comfort Me with Apples is a real heartbreaker. 2w
CSeydel @TrishB @willaful I‘m excited for both of these! 2w
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Enjoy!!! 2w

Soooo good! Best book I have read this year! What an amazing story! #europacollective

jlhammar Amazing is right! Happy to hear you loved it too. 1mo
mcctrish @jlhammar what‘s next? I am addicted to these Europa books! I need to start buying them, it‘s breaking my bookish heart to give them back to the library 1mo
jlhammar Our next #EuropaCollective pick also sounds wonderful! In June we‘ll be reading 1mo

mcctrish @jlhammar I‘m going to order a copy now 1mo
tpixie @jlhammar please add me to your list. This book was awesome. ( how often does #Europacollective read books together?) 1mo
mcctrish @tpixie I want to say quarterly - this is my third - we read Our Fathers in October and Novel Bookstore in December ( at least I did ) Postcard was March but I couldn‘t get my hands on it in time. I‘m totally buying them now so I don‘t have to wait 1mo
tpixie @mcctrish thanks!! That sounds doable!! Thanks for the backlist! 1mo
jlhammar @tpixie Great, I‘ll be sure to include on future posts! Yes, it is quarterly. In June we‘re reading The Road to Dalton by Shannon Bowring, in September A Long Way from Verona by Jane Gardam and in December 1mo
tpixie @jlhammar thx!!! ☺️ 1mo
tpixie @jlhammar Belle Greene sounds great! Last year I read about her in Marie Benedict‘s 4w

Current buddy and bookclub reads that are on now or about to start #gettingmyducksinarow 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 I‘m not sure I can imagine only reading 1 book at a time 🤣🤣

Suet624 I don‘t know how you do it! I generally can only handle one read at a time. 1mo
mcctrish @Suet624 I read them at different times, daily buddy reads I read first thing in the morning or after school, Sunday Buddy reads I read on Thursdays ( I don‘t know why I picked that day) audio books while I drive or putter, bookclub reads before bed. My audios are usually non-fiction or light - The Postcard is last months #europacollective I‘d have rather it in print and I should have just bought it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can‘t stop listening to it 1mo
Suet624 I wish I had read rather than listened to The Postcard. Your reading routine is impressive! 1mo

Not my usual type of audio ( I usually do non-fiction) I‘m obsessed with this story and because it‘s talking to me, I‘m talking back to it #europaeditions #europacollective

BarbaraBB ❤️ 1mo
jlhammar So good, isn‘t it? I did print, but felt the same—once I started I didn‘t want to do anything else (and was rather annoyed with life getting in the way)! 1mo
mcctrish @jlhammar my old phone keeps dying, I am some mad 😡 1mo
tpixie @mcctrish yes! We really need iPods to come back so we don‘t waste as much battery on our phones by listening to audiobooks for hours!!! 1mo
mcctrish @tpixie that‘s the truth 1mo

Mesmerizing. Brutal. Poignant. And so very important. I am so glad I read this book.

My hold FINALLY came in so it was time for a walk. This brutal photo is of our boulevard grass that I‘m trying to turn into a wild garden. Some of my gifted and transplanted plants seem to be finding their way back 💚💚💚 I think it might be time to clean up the ‘beds‘ #europacollective

tpixie Fun project!! 1mo
