pickSo I was loving this book in the first half but my cynical self kept casting doubts on a few silly plot points. Soft pick, and certainly a recommended book if you like family drama. Everyone was likeable and I cheered for a positive ending. Sad stuff, though. Marriage is hard. Humans are complicated. #July2025 Book60
pickThis historical fiction covered a lot without feeling stretched too thin. From wwi to the Great Depression, it covers #NYC theatre and baseball with a diverse cast of characters. I did this on audio and kept coming back to it because I “couldn‘t put it down.” Recommend.
Never beheld its beauty
in person, but visited a thousand
times between the pages of books.

pickAs a firefighter, it is inspiring to read stories about normal men who worked heroically to serve their communities. A lot has changed in the daily world of a firefighter from their era (covering the 60's to 9/11) to the one I find myself in today but I count myself lucky to have heroes such as these men to aspire to.
pickI enjoyed this little snapshot of two college girls spending the summer working at Tiffany‘s in NYC right at the end of WWII. A light, quick read. 4⭐️

pickAn absolutely sweet memoir about the author‘s summer job at Tiffany in New York City. And what a summer it was! 1945… during the last months of World War II. Lots of interesting historical details of daily life are included, as well as some cute stories about working at such a glamorous place. Great fun!
Another #SundayBuddyRead winner. Thanks, @TheBookHippie !
