pickThis book had the most bonkers moments. Not used to seeing "gobshite" or "how things goin'" when reading a book of ancient Athens. I'm telling you, it works. It turned out to be an emotional read. How one person survived a war and imprisonment by knowing Euripedes work.
so-soA bit far fetched but thoroughly entertaining!
It‘s coffee (Italian expresso blend from my staycation box thankyouverymuch and it‘s delicious!) in the cool bedroom this morning, with Wimbledon and Le Tour on tap. And, of course, books.
pickI‘m absolutely loving this series. Can‘t believe I just found out about it this summer, but here we are. I‘m on book three right now, and they keep getting better. Terrific characters, somewhat Byzantine plots (especially the first book) and laugh out loud lines. I‘m buying them used through Thrift books, and it feels like I‘ve constantly got an order in to them. Probably because I do. 🤷🏻♀️
It‘s a beauty weekend here in Michigan.
I created a special cubby on my bookshelf filled with some of my nephew‘s books. Some were in his backpack when he died, others were ones we had bought together or I had gifted him. The framed item is his Ex Libris stamp. The flowers from one of the funeral bouquets we were sent. It‘s a sweet way to be reminded of him every day since we connected so deeply over what we were reading.
pickSo good. Took me way too long to get into but that was all me and too many freakin‘ mundane things to attend to (like cleaning and j-o-b). Gotta love a book that upon finishing the very last sentence, tears threaten and so I must laugh instead. Pick! Stack it!

Grand so.
“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”
“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”
Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF
pickWhat a wonderful book. It does this book a disservice to call it a comedy or a tragedy or any one thing. It is a layered story with interesting and lovable characters. It has a perspective and, yes, it made me laugh. I cannot recommend this book enough.
