so-soA slow-paced, contemplative novel about life running a bookshop. We meet various characters and discover the roots of their hopes, wistfulness and melancholy.
More vibes than plot, this was nonetheless a cosy read.
A major theme was work and the way it can both drain or enrich a life.
A sweet, gently philosophical read that celebrates books and coffee.
pickI listened to this charming epistolary novel on audio, and it was the perfect medium for it. This short, heartfelt story unfolds through letters exchanged between two women in the 1960s—a young, adventurous Californian and a seasoned writer in the Pacific Northwest. The story is filled with warmth, endearing characters, and plenty of delicious food references (and even a recipe or two!). A comforting palate cleanser. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
So being friends with other men is gay, but this is less gay? Again, I‘m going to need the men to show their work on this, because the math is NOT mathing.

pickA novel reflecting on teenage years of two adults who grew up in NYC. Sometimes funny and other times sad, the kids while attending a Quaker School are trying to decide who they are sexually. The imagination runs a bit wild. No matter where you identify yourself sexually, or where you grew up, this novel had me recalling my memories during my teenage years. I gave this a solid 4.5/5⭐️

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a VERY #LargeAnimal & a favorite of mine growing up. I had most of the early books but the first & Clifford‘s Halloween were my favorites. 🐶❤️
