The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane | Lisa See

pick

This is an extraordinary book. It‘s beautiful. And heart breaking. And full of hope. And anger. And love. I‘m not gonna lie - I ugly cried more than once reading this gorgeous book. It does a remarkable job of navigating highly emotional grey areas surrounding some tough themes: loss of culture due to change, the influence of superstition on the lives of ethnic minorities, and the consequences of international adoption just to name a few.

IvoryLunatic The cover is stunning and the book itself sounds beautiful. 1d

Ericalambbrown @IvoryLunatic It may be the best fiction book I‘ve read this year. I had never heard of it and then I joined our little Friends of the Library group for our tiny county library this month. This was the book to read for next month‘s meeting. It was amazing! ♥️ 1d

Another Chocolate Walk in the books! Here are my favorite purchases. Tea, a new mug, Wilbur Buds, and some cozies from Aaron's Books in Lititz.

And yes I did just buy a book that was just gifted to me. Sigh. I need a better way to keep track. Life is hard. 😄

LauraJ That mug!!! 4d

ravenlee I just realized tonight that a book I‘ve been reading to my daughter from the library, and have already renewed once...was sitting on our shelf for the last year or so, with a different cover. 🤦🏻‍♀️ it happens. 4d

MaleficentBookDragon @LauraJ I know. I could NOT leave the shop without it. 🐱 4d

Another cute mystery from the series. This one had old house with a secret passage making it great for Halloween. I did not see the twist at the end coming. Book 2 for #screamathon @4thhouseontheleft

Oops I Spilled the Coffee Again | Sharon Rose

In this case it was my mug of chocolate almond tea on my Kindle cover in the first attempt at a pic of a relaxing morning reading. My Kindle is fine! Take 2: my iPad and iced tea in a covered cup. That was after I cleaned up everything and threw my robe and pajamas in the wash! I‘m still waiting on the relaxing bit to show up. 🙃☕️🥤

Steeped in Evil | Laura Childs

so-so

Much as I‘ve enjoyed other books from this series, this one just didn‘t do anything for me. It was just too formulaic. It involves a murder at a winery, and I thought, tea and wine, what‘s not to like? But it just didn‘t cut it, and even the recipes didn‘t inspire me this time.
