Sometimes you need to treat yourself! Happy Friday!
pickJay is an artist; lives his life as one (many?) experience-immersed art project/s. When Covid hits, he is in NYC just barely surviving when he delivers groceries to a wealthy enclave — he comes face 2 face with his lover Alice from 20+ years past who had run off with his best friend. I liked it mostly for amazing sentences but the drug use was extremely off-putting to me. Lots of interesting thoughts on “what IS art?” 🖼️ Low pick #Aug2025 #ToF

Before the notoriety of John (Revé) Walsh & ‘America‘s Most Wanted‘, there was Stan & Julie Patz.
Etan‘s story will stay with me for a very, very long time. I‘ll be placing this on my permanent shelf? I highly recommend this read.
“There was a pie and mash shop and a butcher.”

The vividness of these radishes provoked me to take this picture, continuing my habit of posing my books with gardens, plants, flowers, produce. This is my last book for #ToF and it is already capturing my attention; page 10. This will be my 3rd by this author. I expect it to be interesting, philosophical, culturally relevant.

This is for you @CBee !!🤗♥️
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
Never beheld its beauty
in person, but visited a thousand
times between the pages of books.
