On Sal Mal Lane | 
Still working my way through my July #doublespin (tagged, enjoying it when I pick it up but not always feeling a push to) but excited for August picks!
I'm still going with my Libby wishlist for my #BookSpin list, when the numbers are called I filter to available now and count down. So fun to see what comes up.
Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks!
#HeyJune Happy Father‘s Day to all you wonderful #MenofLitsy #PennyLane the song is about an ordinary street in a quiet Liverpool neighborhood and my tagged book is similar, although set in Sri Lanka on the cusp of a civil war. The story beautifully written captures the intertwining lives of the residents who make up Sal Mal Lane and it primarily focuses on the newest family to the block. And the cover is gorgeous 💙‼️😀
