I‘m in a summer mood, so its time to give this one a try. I‘m hoping they explain the one shoulder ruffles on the cover.
It‘s a stormy day, so I‘m giving this book a try. I will probably switch to real popcorn in a bit because looking at this squishable just makes me want some. 🍿
When the Boston Conservatory at Berklee asked me to give the commencement speech to its 2019 graduating class, my answer was an enthusiastic “Yes!”.

Currently reading this one, filled with new-to-me African mythology.
Halfway through and now I want to go on a road trip.

It is 1931, I am five years old, and my older brother Bernie takes me to see a movie called Frankenstein at the Republic Movie Theatre. Big mistake!

Continuing to unearth the bottom of my tbr pile, I”m currently reading this one about a quilting circle in depression era Kansas. Fun fact, persian pickle is a quilting term for the paisley pattern.
For vacation, I packed only books from the bottom of my tbr, including this one. Not sure about the strange rainbow effect.
Up next. It‘s on several best of the year lists and friends have warned me that it made them both cry and hungry, so here goes……
I fell two books short of my 2021 Goodreads goal.
I contemplated counting the books in progress or reading Pigeon Drives The Bus, but in the end I left it as unmet. I‘m still going to set the same goal for 2022!
Just finished and I think this may be my favorite fiction read of the year.
Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this fantastic #jolabokaflodswap package @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 !
I‘ve heard mixed reviews about the movie, which makes me want to read the book even more!
Merry Christmas!

Up next…..I need something light and fluffy, so here goes.
“WHY IS THIS BOOK IN MY SUNBEAM?!?!”
“On March 22, 1984, the Wind Blown, a commercial fishing boat, departed from Montauk harbor on eastern Long Island around dusk to begin its first trip of tilefish-spring season.”

This book is supposed to help with habits, but I‘m stuck on things like “Am I a potato or an egg?”.
@Charityann Wow! This package is amazing! I‘m excited for all these books, but especially for the Megan Miranda, as I just saw her at a book festival. I love the socks and pens and bookmarks and the candy! Thank you so much!! Happy Halloween!
