I haven't read this one, but I enjoyed the movie. Who wouldn't? It's Audrey Hepburn. #NewYorkMinute #RockInMay

Cinfhen Fabulous choice 💕💕 7y
RohitSawant Love this so much! I only liked parts of the book and ended up preferring the adaptation over it. Also, Audrey Hepburn! 7y
Chelsibno I'm in the same boat. I've always loved the movie but have never read the book. 7y

A Portrait of Emily Price | Katherine Reay

Even though this book has nothing to do with New York, it came to mind for #NewYorkMinute because the romance develops so quickly, leading to some drastic changes in Emily's life—it's a delight to read, full of art and Italian food, and one of my favorites from last year. #RockinMay

Cinfhen Thanks for sharing ❤️sounds like a nice summer read 7y

Again im out of sink but ill think about updating later.
Anyway Lincoln rhyme is great character based in new York, im up to book 10 in the series but tend to leave a gap between reading. Usually those new York minutes are ticking down as he tries to solve the mystery.

Andrew65 Loved this book and film. 7y

I love Vivian Gornick!Native New Yorker ,memoirist,feminist, essayist, I enjoy everything she writes.Odd woman so beguiling ,in that sometimes city life can be a solitary life , yet you are connected to the randomness of New York and interconnected to your fellow New Yorkers in odd ways you might not imagine.Her interests far ranging ,I wish I could meet her for coffee and see where the conversation takes us

Cinfhen Lovely & thoughtful...agree with your nuggets of wisdom 💕💕 7y
batsy I loved Gornick's The End of the Novel of Love! She's got a brilliant, curious mind. ❤️ Love your description of this book, looking forward to reading. 7y
Leftcoastzen @batsy I loved that one too!remiss in noting her pal Leonard ,plus fierce attachments also includes NYC life 7y

#rockinmay day 21 - #newyorkminute

Have yet to delve into the world of japanese light novels (basically their equivalent of YA), and this series in particular is pretty pricy, but I loved the #anime so much I'm sure I'll eventually take the plunge.

Cinfhen That is incredible 💜 7y

Wouldn't it be fun to take Lillian Boxfish's walk around Manhattan? Great walks around Brooklyn are featured in this tagged book. I did the one that includes Truman Capote's house when our daughter lived in the neighborhood. So much literary history makes it a fun read, even if it's only a virtual tour. I'd go back in a #NewYorkMinute ! #rockinmay @Cinfhen

Cinfhen What an amazing book! Thanks for posting & sharing 😍😍 7y
Hollie This looks like a book I need!! 7y
lynneamch Absolutely @Hollie whether you live in or visit Brooklyn, or just love learning about these fascinating writers. 7y

I'm loving all of the #newyorkminute posts today for #rockinmay. New York is my favorite setting ever. So, I just had to order this one for myself today. I hope it gets here soon! I should probably read the books that are piling up here, but I just couldn't help it! I blame Litsy and @Cinfhen for her awesome prompts! 😘

Cinfhen Thanks @Hollie ??I just read this book....amazing! I nicknamed Leo "The Jewish Ove" 7y
KarenUK One of my favorites... hope you enjoy it! 😍 (edited) 7y
Hollie @Cinfhen @KarenUK I cannot wait for it to come in the mail! 7y

I bought this old copy of Breakfast at a local used bookshop 40 years after it was printed. I loved that bookshop and I adore this book. #newyorkminute #rockinmay

Cinfhen It looks well loved!!! #vintage 💕💕 7y
