Make that two redeeming features. I promise I'm done now.

OK, Road Trip does have one redeeming feature, which is that the title is Damson colour, completing my New York autumn/winter #Pantone2025 #readingchallenge !

How is this book a snoozefest that also makes me furious? How are people calling it a “cute romcom“?



It features no chemistry btw MCs, dual timeline that doesn't justify itself, a road trip that doesn't make sense, miscommunication trope, a stalker, alcoholism, and an attempted rape. Every man in this book, the MMC included, is absolutely irredeemably toxic and should never be allowed a woman ever again. I loved The Flatshare, but hated this.

On the road again with Pugnacious Pigeon. Can't drive around Canada without having one of these on the dash, can you?

This is the September bookclub pick. Loved Amor Towles "Gentlemen From Moscow" and "Rules of Civility" but reading "The Lincoln Highway" was like watching a Wes Anderson movie when your not in the mood.

Set in Ireland (and I have a weakness for Irish settings 😂) so this is my pick for September‘s #fictionaltraveler!

First, this is a YA story. Characters are 17-18. So naturally they will behave like how normal teenagers would. They are childish, selfish, cringy, annoying & irritating to adults. So if you get easily annoyed by teenagers or teen characters, don't read it. You'll find it boring and frustrating & I don't want these tags to be associated with this beautiful & bittersweet story.

Inspiring, entertaining, and surprisingly informative (about social history, history, and just plain quirky facts); sailed through this in a day. (Of course it was a day with no responsibilities, so easier.) #letterR #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader

Besides the inspiration of her ride, I‘m learning all kinds of interesting trivia. Like Milton Bradley getting into the board game business because he printed a ton of this lithograph of Lincoln which was made immediately worthless when Lincoln grew a beard.
