?We all take for granted things that come too easily.
That's why I can't let you go--you're always a challenge to me.
Here's my wow to you, here's all I believe:
For you, I'll stay invisble. I"ll be the air you breathe."?

I've been exploring my bookshelves lately. Don't you love looking at book cover designs and noticing what sort of colors are used? Teal seems to be a rare one, but I still managed to find four books with gorgeous teal covers and spines. 📚🐚

Have you read any of these books? 🤔

1930's setting is Brazil and Los Angeles. Graca, spoiled daughter of wealthy sugar baron, and Dores, orphan kitchen worker, begin an intense friendship. They share their passion for music - Graca as a singer and Dores as a writer. Excellent writing and captivating. Plot is beautifully heartwarming but tragically sad. Dores' narration is vivid and unforgettable. Would highly recommend this book to those who love cultural historical fiction.

Andrew65 I‘m still only 26% in. With work, fallen behind on a number of reading books lately! 😔 (edited) 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 That‘s understandable! Hopefully, you can finish it during the readathon this weekend! 5y
Cubanmommy95 Started this one too. I'm only about 17% in but hopefully can get a lot of reading done this week 5y
EadieB @Cubanmommy95 Readathons are good for finishing books! 5y

Compelling and complex narrative. The story of Graca and Dores, of Sofia and Jega, is complicated and painful and beautiful. Dores's life, while outlasting Graca's, is haunted by the memory of her friend, of the way they nurtured and stole from each other. The music at the center of the narrative fuels both the beauty and the treachery of their friendship. #theairyoubreathe #francesdepontespeebles

I absolutely could not pick just one book this month. So excited for my #BOTM delivery! The last few months, I've taken a break from BOTM thrillers. Fingers crossed that Sweet Little Lies is as suspenseful as the review claims it is!

stuck.in.the.stacks Oh I look forward to hearing what you think. I was interested in all of these but decided to add two extras instead. 6y
TheNerdyProfessor @felinesandfiction I ended up picking all 3 of these. I might have added a 4th if they would have let me 😂 At first I wasn't sure if I would like the books this month, but I love how BOTM pushes me outside of my reading zone. 6y
stuck.in.the.stacks @kbfollmer I love that about Book of the Month too! 6y
