#GuiltyPleasure #TitlesandTunes
June is about guilty pleasure so I‘m kicking off tonight with a rom com with a side angry Swedish pop. @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I don‘t know the song but it sounds good 14h
Cinfhen I have such specific memories attached to this song! It was HUGE in the states around the time of my son‘s Bar Mitzvah age and it was on constant play at EVERY Bar Mitzvah event @BarbaraBB it‘s great 🎶🙌🏻 8h
Cinfhen Obviously, I Love It 😉 8h
peaknit @Cinfhen 🤣 you love it?! Made me giggle. It‘s a scream in the car (or Bar Mitzvah dance floor) kind of song!! 😱 3h

Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday
1. My favorite for May was Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes - on audio, the narration added to the fictional story as well as the history of Hawaii, and I enjoyed the occasional first person address to the reader.
2. Forager by Iliana Regan…I was hoping to join a local book club zoom with an intro by my fav local author Nikolas Butler, for him, I tried - it was just not my style so I abandoned the plan.

TheSpineView It's OK to change plans. Thanks for playing 3d

I really enjoyed this. A great story intertwined with some Hawaiian history I didn‘t know. The narration was well cast.

I would sell books and yarn, and maybe showcase local crafters/ artists. I would call it Knitting Prose. I think there should be coffee and homemade cookies and brownies, like grandma‘s recipes, to sell to donate to local causes. Maybe customers could submit their favorites ( selfishly I‘m getting recipes!). I‘d like to have a cat on the loose. Just writing this, I want it to be real❤️ #wondrouswednesday thank you for the tag @Kshakal @Eggs

Stealing @Kshakal answer because yes, I hate when people start talking to me when I‘m reading. Every night my husband breezes in and starts talking when I‘m reading in bed. 🙄🤣 ❤️ I also get annoyed when people see me reading in public and say “I wish I had time to read”… It makes me feel like I‘m a slacker or something. Hey, this is how I spend my free time! Lol

Hello Beautiful | Ann Napolitano
post image
Pickpick

The very best book I‘ve read in awhile. A family saga of four sisters, they grew up so close…there was no light between them, but then how they each break off and become independent and grown up, what divides them and what brings them together. Sweet, heartbreaking, perfect. I ended this feeling very full of love for these characters, mourning the passing of this story. I‘d like more❤️
