I loved this movie as a child and upon realizing it was a book, I was very eager to see how the differed. There were many differences but the essential of the story was the same: a magical car creating magical adventures. It was a short listen but enjoyable.

pick

Two friends from college meet at a departure gate. One saved a man from drowning just after college and begins to relate the story to his friend. What starts as a curiosity about the man he saved quickly becomes an obsession. He discovers the man he saved is not nice or honest, but he begins insinuating himself into his life both personally and professionally. Imagine Rachel Cusk with a suspenseful twist. Pick for sure! ⬇️

Helen, this was lovely! @squirrelbrain Kept me occupied while waiting for my mammogram! 🤦‍♀️Thank you for putting it in my hands…. So perfect for me! A humorous romantic little essay, on the joys of picking books you never knew you needed or wanted…. i.e. the total joy of browsing a bookstore. 💕📚

New York, New York, New York: Four Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation | Thomas Dyja

pick

It‘s a hell of a town, and Dyja looks at several angles from the 1970s to the late 2010s. He writes about the rise and fall of some political figures (Koch, Bloomberg, Giuliani, Trump), the movement of the art/artists around the city, Black culture and the hip hop scene, and gay culture and the AIDS epidemic. New York is a place of constant change and rebirth, and this book captures it well. #audiobook

JanuarieTimewalker13 Is the author a Native New Yorker? 3y

Cinfhen Oh cool! I own this audio 😉 3y

Megabooks @JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘m unsure. If he said so in the prologue, I don‘t remember it. (But I wasn‘t listening for it either.) 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen you must‘ve gotten the daily deal when I did! 😁 3y

Cinfhen Yup 😂😂 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Thank you. I‘m curious about this book. 3y

Love After Love: A Novel | Ingrid Persaud

pick

A heartfelt story of friendship, motherhood and what constitutes a family. Betty is a single mother, raising her son with the help of her lodger & colleague; Mr. Chetan. When Betty shares a secret with Mr. Chetan the fallout threatens to destroy her relationship with her son. This book set in Trinidad contains all the flavors, colors, foods and energy of the Caribbean. I LOVED IT!!!! #Booked2022 #TitleRepeats #Pop22 #FoundFamily

This is my #LastFirstAudio for 2021/2022 💗It was on @AnneCecilie #Top21of21 list and Erik Karl Anderson listed this as his favorite audio of 2021!! I‘m LOVING the accent and I‘m already sure, I want to read MORE Caribbean fiction!!!

Megabooks Have you read this? Great Caribbean narration.

Here Comes the Sun

Cinfhen No @Megabooks it‘s been on my #ReadersRadar for a long time!! Will definitely add for 2022 listening 👂🏼 Thanks for the recommendation xx 3y

Cinfhen Forgot to add this is my #Booked2022 #TitleRepeats 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3y

squirrelbrain I loved this when I read it (a while ago as I had it as an ARC). It made me 😢 though….. 3y

Cinfhen I‘ve been listening all morning while I‘ll cooking & doing laundry @squirrelbrain It‘s GREAT on audio 3y

rockpools Ooh. We‘re off to Trinidad with #readaroundtheworld in January- and this was one of my options. And my library has the audio… 3y

Cinfhen I highly recommend going with this one @rockpools it does take a tiny bit of time to get the gist of the narration, but it‘s totally worth it 3y

rockpools @Cinfhen Bother! The audiobook has expired ☹️. I might try the print though. 3y

AnneCecilie I originally got this from Eric as well, and another BookTuber, SavidgeReads. I‘m glad you‘re enjoying it so far (edited) 3y

Cinfhen It‘s breaking my heart one minute and I‘m laughing out loud the next @AnneCecilie I LOVE Betty!!!! 3y

jenniferw88 I also liked

City of Light, City of Poison: Magic, Murder, and the First Police Chief of Paris

BarbaraBB I am going to use this one for the prompt, which also fits #ReadingAfrica2022

What Is the What

Cinfhen That‘s a GREAT suggestion @BarbaraBB I read that one for bookclub years ago and I still think about it!!! 3y

Cinfhen I haven‘t read it yet @jenniferw88 hoping to bump it up the ##Tbr 3y

Susanita Interesting mystery set in Mississippi

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter

Singout I think mine is going to be There, There, but the first one I thought of (flashbacks to my university American lit course) was

Absalom! Absalom!

(edited) 3y

Smarkies I am definitely going to be reading Bird by Bird - it's been on my TBR for way too long. 3y

Ruthiella Excellent suggestions! I was considering The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch but the Attica Locke is on my list! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks for offering and posting MORE suggestions @Ruthiella @Smarkies @Singout @Susanita I‘m pleasantly surprised by how many options are out there!!! I‘ve only read the mystery that @Susanita suggested and it was very good 😊 #SoManyBooksSoLitteTime 3y

Cinfhen #SharingIdeas 3y

TrishB Oh I may be changing my mind now as I have some of these too! 3y

Cinfhen I plan on doing both @Riveted_Reader_Melissa NF challenge and #POP22 @TrishB so my choices might change too!! 3y

Centique @Ruthiella I loved The Sea The Sea! If you do read it 💕 3y

TrishB @Centique good to know as I have that and may change to it! 3y

Cinfhen It‘ll be interesting to see how many of us KEEP our initial choices @TrishB @Centique @Ruthiella 😜 3y

Centique @TrishB it appealed to my inner grinch. A famous theatre director retires from the world seeking solitude. I can relate to the seeking solitude! 3y

Cinfhen How‘s #HisElderliness @Centique ?? Are u guys still in lockdown?? 3y

TrishB I have a very big inner grinch! 3y

Centique @Cinfhen yes we‘re in a level 3 stage 1 lockdown now😂😂 that‘s how complicated it is. Hopefully retail opens next week though - but not gyms or hairdressers. I‘m very lucky because we have an office just 5 mins from our house so since restrictions eased we can work from there again - let‘s us spread out a bit. I get to see Dad on Monday for the first time in 12 weeks cos the rest home is letting me take him to his hospital appointment. 3y

Centique @TrishB I love a grinch! 💕💕 3y

Cinfhen OMG! 12 weeks!!!! I literally got goosebumps- I‘m SO happy you finally get to see your dad in person 🥰 @Centique (edited) 3y

Chelsea.Poole I was thinking about this one (extra points for 3x? 😉)

I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death

Cinfhen Hahaha @Chelsea.Poole the book you tagged left me shaking my head in disbelief but it‘s a really good read!!! Excellent choice 💜 3y
