The Wedding Bees: A Novel of Honey, Love, and Manners | 
#QuotsyJul21
Went to 🐝 books for #hive quotes & liked the description:
“In the meantime, the hive, painted in rainbow stripes by a neighbor‘s six-year-old twins in some long-ago backyard, was sitting in the middle of the terrace with two gardenias acting as scented sentry guards on either side. Sugar lugged the gardenias with her wherever she went to help guide the bees back to their new home while they were getting used to their surroundings.”
pickI liked much of this: the neighborhood, building, flowers, bees, meals, secondary characters. But I never warmed up to the MC- perhaps because, like Jane Austen, pictures of perfection make me sick & wicked- so I'm having a hard time deciding how I feel about this book. I'm giving it a pick because I loved the descriptions and the story in general.
This is my #BookSpin for May. Now to pick away at the rest of the list! @thearomaofbooks
Here's my #BookSpinBonanza official list! I'm excited to start the tagged book tonight or tomorrow. I might have to make one change though: my library hold of The Operator came in this morning so I probably won't be able to wait until #16 to read it, which is making me feel guilty as I'm usually a rule follower. I'll try to get to it this week and just move everything below it down one spot.

“He thought suddenly of watermelon. It was hard to come by back in Scotland but even before he'd ever tasted one in the flesh it had reminded him of summer. He knew what watermelon tasted like now; it was one of his favorite things. He could almost feel it in his mouth as he stood there, that cold sweet powerful explosion of almost nothing.”

All the books I read during Christmas vacation. Can you guess my favorite? 🤓
This is my #whatchareadin 📚📚for today. Just took this little toot for a short walk and now it's bed and book time.
So far this isn't great. It's okay but maybe a little silly. #harlietheboston #bostonsoflitsy
When the book you're reading that takes place in Manhattan suddenly and unexpectedly mentions your #hometown #truckee 😍😍
Went to B&N today to do a little book exchange shopping and these just insisted I bring them home. 2 for $8. Who could say no. But let me tell you, I'm so completely irritated that they use these stickers that are impossible to get completely off. What's wrong with them 😡😡
pickHoney sweet.
Perfect for a light Sunday afternoon romance-fest. Fantastic range of characters. Lovely.
