I was tagged! 😎
I‘m signing off the work computer and picking up my book that‘s due tomorrow. I was sorely tempted to run after the ice cream truck and buying something gooey and messy, but I restrained myself!
pickThis was my #bookspin choice for April. I‘ve been trying to focus on languishing unfinished books for that. I started this one a couple years ago! Not sure why it took me so long to get back to it, since it turned out to be a fairly quick read. Anyway, this was an interesting book with mostly relatable characters, dealing with anti-semitism and other prejudices. I enjoyed seeing where the story went, even if some of the turns were predictable.
I‘m #inundated with books this month, but is that a bad thing?
This still isn‘t all of them, but it‘s closer!

so-soI almost felt like I was reading two different books with this one. I loved the first half of the book with its coming of age story and excellent character building. However the second half of the book seemed a little disjointed and slapdash to me. Lots of people loved this one though so maybe it‘s just me.
so-soI don‘t know. I didn‘t dislike the book, but I kept waiting for it to really take off but the plot never gets its momentum going. I guess I can say that I enjoyed a book about 20th century working class Jewish Americans with challenges and loves and drama and which didn‘t have an obligatory epic genocide thread as part of the storyline. A good summer read maybe.
Just started this last night, so far it‘s a surprisingly sweet book, given its premise about anti-Semitic bigotry. The main family is so loving of one another but not sappy or schmalzy. ❤️👍

My shelves seemed to have a lot of books with covers of #bodyofwater. I chose this one. I've always enjoyed a good Elinor Lipman book.
Some #booksbythesea - some books on the sea, for #somethingforsept, @RealLifeReading
My favorite ending of the books I have where I'm living today! Like I've said, Elinor Lipman is my soul author. 😃👍🏻 Also I'm sick, so my dog is much cuter than I am. 😉🐶
