📚This week I‘ve been trying to finish up the first quarter of the book for a book chat with friends on Sunday. Some of the stories are like wow, women. 💪🏼(P.S. This book is 812 pages so my arms are going to look like 💪🏼 when I‘m done.)
📕 This is not my copy of the book or my bookshelf! I first learned of Phyllis Rose when we rented her house last summer. Without realizing it was hers or who she was we got her house with her amazing library!

Ruthiella What a cool link to the author. I‘ve read two books by Rose and both were excellent: The Shelf and 2mo
PaperbackPirate @Ruthiella I was drawn to the photos of her library in the VRBO listing, and it was a clue! Lol! Thanks for the recommendations! My father-in-law read her copy of The Shelf while we were there and really enjoyed it too. I also want to read Jazz Cleopatra. (edited) 2mo

The Library Book really slowed down my reading speed last month! A lot of interesting information to take in.

A 599 page book + back to school = 1 book finished

But I finished it! And it was a vg book!

Hope you had a better August!
