I have no idea how long this book has been on my Kindle but I purposely did not bring a physical book to work today so I would be forced to use my Kindle app. I‘m glad I did. I love historical fiction.

A little book splurging therapy after enduring a chaotic work week. I ordered all of them online since they‘re listed as out of stock at my B&N. And now I wait for the Shanghai star crossed lovers and their gang to arrive in the mail. Except Our Violent Ends. That‘s a pre-order to a June release.

Library borrow for the last #WickedWords 🤓 A very pleasant surprise.

1940‘s Word 5/5.

Took me a while, but here it is. My #bookerdozen (The order was chosen by pic-collage. 😁)

Thank @Liz_M for the prompt and @vivastory for the inspirational. I‘ll list the titles in comments

I like the writing but am finding it boring. When I‘m thinking of bailing I look at Litsy reviews to make sure I shouldn‘t try a little harder to finish. There isn‘t anything there to spur me on to the finish line. Bailing at 25%

I found this interesting and loved the setting of the story both as physical locations and timewise. The characters felt like they actually lived in the pages. This is quite a big book and it was fun to read one story for such a long time. It's been awhile since I last did that. I think I'll be reading more Amy Tan at some point. 😊

Occasional Weekly Report:

Finally finished the Rushdie. Excellent, wordy and I should have read it during a vacation. Also read Ivory Pearl which was delightful until it abruptly stops because the author never finished it. And read, start to finish, very quickly the love letter to NYC that is The World We Made.

Always reading Clarissa and about to start Love in a Fallen City and/or The Great Believes.

Started two new books today. I'm travelling again and wanted to pick two books to take with me that are as different as possible. Blue one is historical fiction and the black one is non-fiction that focuses around mafia.

This isn‘t my favorite by See, but the story grew in me as I went. See never shies away from the brutality of war on innocents, and the lives of these sisters, their family…. It‘s filled with heartache and terrible times. But there is good, and there is hope. #bookspinbingo #bingo #bbrc #two to tango
