Me and not the book? Hmm. Told from multiple POVs—including one that was so annoying I had to skip those chapters—this book about human connection, conflict, borders & the ways we cross/do not cross them, & trauma is occasionally lyrical & sometimes even profound but…BUT…ultimately it didn‘t quite connect for me. I‘ve read several books by Shafak that I really enjoyed & while I really liked sections of this one, on the whole it didn‘t work for me.

BirdLaVie I struggled to get into this one too! Loved the premise and idea, but couldn‘t get into it. 2mo

Started reading this one last night and so far I‘m really enjoying it. The author is using a device I don‘t love but 🤞 it doesn‘t become too annoying and/or distracting.

marleed I loved this story! 2mo

My favorite book of September was The Island of Missing Trees, which I read with my IRL book club.

This is by far one of the most beautiful cookbooks I own. Tessa, born in London to a Finnish mother and a Cypriot father moved to South Africa at the age of four. She currently lives in Italy. This cookbook weaves Finnish, Greek, S African and Italian cuisine with extras from other travels. My copy is completely stained from use. The photographs are amazing.

DebinHawaii One of my favorites! All of her cookbooks are just lovely! 💙 3mo
Chrissyreadit how hard to convert recipes to vegan? 3mo
Cuilin @Chrissyreadit yeah not great, especially the fish recipes are a no go, others not so bad, I‘ve made good substitutions. The plus is there are great vegetable recipes that are easily altered. It‘s more for the omnivore, for sure. 3mo

Agatha Raisin goes to Turkey on a vacation to find James and make up with him. While there she gets involved in a murder of a British citizen. I got so frustrated with Agatha during this audiobook. I just wanted her to forget him. He treated her so badly. Hopefully, it's the end of them as an item. I hope her and Charles get together. I liked him.

A busy summer has left me SO behind in my book journaling! Happily, Agatha Raisin kept me company as I try to start to catch up.

The beginning of this DID NOT age well. But I enjoyed the new scenery and am delighted that James Lacey may not be the centre of Agatha‘s world anymore!

I‘m also delighted that I have space on my audio book dance card to jump back into this series for #SeriesLove2023!

Andrew65 Excellent. This is a very enjoyable series 👏👏👏 7mo

It‘s fig season and I‘m reading this multi generational family story partially narrated by a fig tree.

Suet624 Wow, living in a place that has figs... such bounty! 7mo
perfectlywinged My Trader Joe‘s has them in this week. Here in the Midwest we only get fresh figs in stores for a very brief time so I gorge myself. 7mo

I liked how the author looked at generational trauma, colonialism, and the LIFE and beauty off the natural world. What a fine ending too.
