bailedI really liked Beautyland and the Book Riot podcast folks love this one, so I figured I‘d give it a try. I made it almost halfway through but I just don‘t care. It isn‘t grabbing me at all. So, on to the next.

pickRepublished in honour of what would have been Sinatra's 100th birthday in 2015, this is a personal tribute to 'Ol Blue Eyes' himself. Although it obviously centres around the man & his career, it also covers Italian immigration into America & Sinatra's first brush with prejudice, the rise & fall of Prohibition (& by extension the Mob), & the Second World War.

The current political climate is so cruel , this mug spoke to me , hope it will help me calm down a bit . A beautiful quote for many situations, right?

pickBingo! #OffMyShelf “By a BIPOC author”
Possibly next to “Tar Baby”, the least trauma inducing novel from Morrison so far. Yes, bad things happen, but I also found this book to be a celebration. It‘s about a love triangle gone wrong and a murder, the historical wounds of those involved, but also about hope and love; a love note to New York City and the flowering of Black American culture in the mid 20th century.
I loved the back and forth perspective/years. And the plot! Well done!

I can‘t seem to settle on my next book so I‘m going to see if a mystery will draw me in enough to stick with it.
