An embarrassment of riches from a trip to the used bookstore. Very excited to read several in here that I had been looking for for a while! #europacollective

jlhammar Wow, what a gorgeous stack! 3w
BarbaraBB That is an incredible bookhaul! 😍 2w
Gleefulreader @BarbaraBB @jlhammar I couldn‘t resist. They are normally $25-29 pre-tax here in Canada. These ranged at the used store for $5-10 at the most! 2w

This is beautiful historical fiction told around the life of a famous Turkish architect in Istanbul. The writing is beautiful. The apprentice in the title happens to also be a mahmout in charge of a white elephant. Obviously. Unfortunately I think it needed to be shorter. Just imo.

Super, non mi ricordavo di averlo letto e nob mi ricordo bene la storia. La sensazione lasciata dal ricordo però è super positiva. Mi ricordo una lettura veramente geniale e imprevedibile. Molto bello

Just finished this 600 page book! The story was rich with imagery, and revolved around Mevlut. A boza seller that moved from his village to Istanbul as a child. You see the growth of the city throughout Mevlut‘s life, as he stays loyal to his city and the people he loves. This is a book that needs to be savored!

Billypar @TheBookHippie I visited Harrisburg a few years ago, and they have one of the best bookstores I've ever seen. I was from Lansdale, closer to Philly. My dad was Coast Guard but he left after I was born so we didn't move around. 4mo
Billypar @TheBookHippie I was born in the 80s, and I grew up hearing all the lies about how bad disco was supposed to be, lol. That must have been incredible to experience it on the dance floor! 🕺💃 4mo
TheBookHippie @Billypar it was a beautiful time in my life. They lied because they didn‘t like gay people, it had nothing to do with the music . The music was everything. 🪩 4mo

Billypar @TheKidUpstairs It might be this brown creeper I saw once. I couldn't get enough of its strange waddle up and down the tree trunk. You? 4mo

Started this one last night. This has been on my TBR list for maybe 4 years now. Wish I would have picked it up sooner. The storytelling is wonderful so far- It‘s over 650 pages, but it‘s moving quickly!

Dilara @Chrissyreadit Drop a piece of cinnamon bark and 3 cardamom pods in a cup, add boiling water and as much or as little orange blossom water as you like - I think a teaspoon's worth is nice. That's it! 😁 (edited) 5mo
TheBookHippie Yummmmmmmm. Definitely doing this!!! Cozy! 5mo
Chrissyreadit ohhhh! yes am going to try this too 5mo
IndoorDame Sounds delicious! Definitely trying that! 5mo
