This was a very sweet story. I think in translation it was a little awkward at times and at first the main character was annoying. But I love books about books and books about the love of books. This is short and sweet quick read! Get it from your library! You won‘t regret it.

5/5 - This book changed my life. Basically if we live to be 80 we get 4,000 weeks to live so at 47 I‘ve got roughly 1500 left. What am I going to do with that? What matters really? I‘ll re-read this again because it was that impactful!

#bookspinbingo Hello! My April card! I‘m not sure how this month is going to go. Wound up with my four year old grandson for six months to forever - not sure yet. So reading this month could be an adventure! Do kid books count? Lol

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks great!! Best wishes with your grandson ❤ My niece has lived with my parents a lot because of various circumstances, and it can be hard, but also they have such an important role of being able to provide her with one place of stability that she knows is always there. 12mo
Bookishlie Awww thanks. Yeah that is our goal. We will just be the stability his sister is with her grandparents so we all talk to make sure they know each other. Hopefully Mom gets her stuff together:) 12mo

5 Stars - I will visit this again and probably try some of the recipes. She has a nice writing style. If you read her blog (I don‘t) this is probably not new stuff. But I‘m a sucker for a foodie memoir.

5 stars!! Makes me want to jump in a camper (with a bathroom) and start touring the United States! Doreen might be my travel spirit animal! My first finish of of February but not a bookspin :(. #bookspinbingo

ImperfectCJ Sounds like a fun memoir! I've been wanting to do this since 2011, and my spouse is finally talking like he might seriously be considering it for after both kids move out, so I'm trying to get as many takes on the experience as I can! 13mo

I really enjoyed this book. I didn‘t know she was a social media personality - I thought it would be similar to Nomadland. It wasn‘t but it was very good and very compelling. These books make me want to go live in a van. Unfortunately my library wouldn‘t fit…. 5/5 stars:)

My cover is prettier. A solid 4 stars if you are a history nerd. Very information dense but interesting in how historical manuscripts were saved from from various purges and destruction so knowledge can move forward. Also my #bookspin for February! Yay

All in all I liked this book. 5 stars because I‘ll probably read-read it at some point. I‘m not sure I‘ll do the challenge yet but she inspired me to simplify my closet and look into my clothes for some things I‘d rather love then what makes me look “good”.

A re-read and very good. I wonder how all these people faired through Covid and the pandemic? If you haven‘t read it you should. All of this is probably just as pertinent today as it was when it was first written! 5 stars.

#doublebookspin #bookspinbingo. A re-read so of course 5 stars. After The Discovery of Witches series this is the next favorite! So steadily re-reading them. This happened to also be my double spin so yay me!!

#bookspin yay! I finished my book soon for January! A first ever for me!! Now to move on to the double spin and a look at my card! Read the tagged book. It‘s a 4 star read for me - I‘m not sure I like the author as a person but it was eye opening to see how it feels to be inside a depression spiral as I‘ve never had one as bad as hers. This helps make it easier to relate. I‘m not sure she‘s likable, but she‘s understandable.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 2y
