I'm not sure how I feel about this book, but I love how it is put together.
I swear my husband thinks this but is not as sexy when he says it... #laurendane #whiskeysharp #vic #rachel
To a parent, your child wasn‘t just a person: your child was a place, a kind of Narnia, a vast eternal place where the present you were living and thepast you remembered and the future you longed for all existed at once. You could seeit every time you looked at her: layered in her face was the baby she‘d been and the child she‘d become and the adult she would grow up to be, and you saw them all simultaneously, like a 3-D image.
Really enjoyed this graphic novel, my first of its kind.
It took me some time to get into the series, but now I love it. Latest book came into the library finally!

I wasn't prepared for the first book to be part of a series. Onward to the sequel...
"We Indians really should be better liars, considering how often we've been lied to."
Because I've never read it... #poirot #thebookisbetter
"But 'tis also true that nothing easy is ever worth it. And Genevieve will be with every effort I make on her behalf."
I loved this book. It read simply, but it did such a great job of portraying Ove and his community. I didn't want it to end.
"Still, it does get on my nerves how easy it is for tall people to make a good first impression."
Couldn't have said it better, Ms. Vowell.
"The newly dubbed General Lafayette was only nineteen years old. Considering Independence Hall was also where the founders calculated that a slave equals three-fifths of a person and cooked up an electoral college that lets Florida and Ohio pick our presidents, making an adolescent who barely spoke English a major general at an age I got hired to run the cash register at a Portland pizza joint was not the worst decision ever made there."
Think left and think right and think low and think high. oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
Really enjoyed the stories and range of topics - wildly inappropriate, hilariously silly, touching, and inspiring.
