pickThis book is genius. I wish I had read in summer to match the season. And there‘s not much more I can say without spoiling it.

pickI read this in 2 sittings. It delivered what it promised: A one-day look into Ning's life as a nail salon owner.
Even though this takes place in a nail salon, I feel that if you work, or have ever worked in the service industry you will relate so much to this.
Loved!

Bad news days call for new, used books for the teens on tweens on my street. America's in trouble, but I can share books. #lfl #read #middlegrade #ya
pickA great read about the impact of war, generational trauma, and the importance of human connection. Alternating perspectives of individuals in Las Vegas, centering the war in Iraq and the aftermath on soldiers and their families, as well as an immigrant family. In-depth inner dialogue and emotional lives of the featured characters who all struggle, but do their best. A great audio as well!
May 11, 2025 Happy Mother's Day to all the hardworking fearless strong compassionate mothers out there who do EVERYTHING for their kids. Today I am starting this TBR. I sort of started it but never finished it so I am re-reading it again.
pickA story within a story about welcoming different people into your country (and an immigrant perspective). Due to a language barrier, a king tries to show a group of refugees that his country is full by pouring a glass of milk. The refugees' leader uses a sugar cube (that dissolves in the milk) to show that their presence would make their country sweeter, and not cause issues. Thrity Umrigar, the author, is an Indian-American immigrant.
