pickA beautiful story about friendships that span generations, varying backgrounds, and differences in faith. It's one of those stories that will stick with me because it is poignant, both sweet and sad.

pickAlso from last w/e on my multiple 📕 swap raid on the way home from 🩰. I want to see the tagged book‘s play these hols but it‘s sold out already! I will try to get to Prima Facie before it sells out. The 🐧 is to add to my collection & the recipe 📖 is for my sista 🦊 & I to test out when I visit her these hols to watch my niece‘s full dress rehearsal for Frozen Disney Junior as because of my rehearsals during term I can‘t get to the show itself.
pickA beautiful book 🥲😭
Lenni is so funny 😃
Read for reading challenges
4/5
pickOh, this book! 💔 You will fall in love with Lenni (17) as she navigates terminal illness in the hospital. Margot (83) becomes her closest friend. Lenni is a force—bold, full of life, changing those she meets. Margot is kind, wise, and has led a fascinating life. They decide to paint 100 pictures—one for each year of their lives. As they share their stories, you‘re transported through their pasts. Highly recommend this on audio. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️📚🎧
pickTwo of the beloved OGs from my IRL bookclub past away in 2024, one after an extended illness and another suddenly. For 2025 on their birth months, we are discussing a book each nominated in year‘s past but ultimately not selected for discussion. This was Patty‘s book. A reread for me but all the more beautiful the 2nd time around knowing how often she spoke about and loved this story.
pickThis was on a list of books that feel like a hug and it really is the loveliest story of friendship and found families and finding joy in all your moments. All the stars ⭐️
Friday night and I‘m enjoying my favourite reading spot one last time. Tomorrow we get the tree 🌲 and it sits right here until Epiphany. So for now, I‘m just chilling in my favourite indoor reading spot ( besides my bed) with my favourite cocktail ( French blonde ) and the sweetest book that I know will break my heart
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is admittedly the kind of story I can tend to avoid if left to my own devices…. But I‘m glad it was a pick for my work book club. It is, of course, emotional and moving, but also full of love, light, and life. Besides Lenni‘s friendship with Margot, I adored her relationship with Father Arthur. May our loved ones‘ stories live on.🎧
