So if you‘re a coffee/Dunkin Donuts addict like me today was the day Dunkin brought back the Pumpkin Spice!! So of course I HAD to have my favorite Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew 🧋🧡
So my lunch break consisted of drinking my delicious coffee and reading my current book!

This is one of the best graphic novels I‘ve read. The author built this alternate world where wishes are commodities that are mined and sold. It is so thorough and the philosophical musings of whether someone should use a wish or not and what would be the best wish is fascinating. There are three first class wishes that the book is basically divided up into, and it‘s set in modern-day Egypt. I was really impressed.

Yes I am obsessed with Shaun Tan. I thought this book was wonderful. The art by all the different illustrators were beautiful and the words were very thoughtful. Perfect for any age.

I tried Vietnamese coffee this weekend and this sign was hilarious and true!! It was so strong I felt like I could see sounds for awhile!

julesG Goodness, I'd need it in homoeopathic dilution then. 3mo
Read4life My daughter doesn‘t drink coffee (or any caffeinated drinks) but her college teammates told her she needed to try Vietnamese coffee when they had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. She had less than 1/4 of it & was up until 4am! She called me at 2am wanting to know how I can be a coffee lover😁 FYI… she‘s usually in bed by 11 so she gets a solid 8 hours of sleep. 3mo

I found this book when reading Alice Hoffman‘s short story ‘the Bookstore Sisters‘. It was the main characters favorite childhood book. It‘s an absolutely delightful story about a family that stumbles across a magic coin that grants ½ of any wish made by the person holding the coin. I wish I had a young child to introduce to this author!

I loved this graphic novel that tells of Shokry, a kiosk owner, in Cairo where wishes are real & regulated & controlled by the local & federal authorities & bureaucracies. The frame narrative is that Shokry is determined to sell his three first class wishes & the bulk of the book is comprised of the stories of the disparate individuals who buy them. The artwork, by turns colorful & starkly black & white as necessitated by the story is (cont)

vivastory crisp & clean & while it might seem a bit simplistic at times I felt that it added to the emotional heft of the narratives. Shubeik Lubeik is imaginative & moving & it showed that people are not who they may appear to be.
Note: I am posting my reviews as blurbs as I have recently acquired a new Android & it appears that the Litsy app is not currently available for download in the Google Play store.

BarbaraBB That is weird, about the app..! 5mo
Bookwomble @BarbaraBB Somebody on Goodreads questioned the Android app availability and got a somewhat vague update from Litsy that while it's not currently available, they're "working on it", so presumably it will be back on at some point. 5mo

A world where wishes are regulated and can be bought by anyone with means (or received as a gift/prize). This is a trilogy of stories concerning such a gift of three wishes and who ends up using them. This was an unexpected gut punch as well as an absolute delight. Kicking myself for not purchasing it this past weekend when making the rounds for indie bookstore day… but once I‘m off my book buying ban I‘ll be adding this to my collection.
