I find it funny that my favorite book of the year was the least popular and my least favorite was the most popular. Happy reading, friends. Read what you like not what you think you have to like

BkClubCare Wow! I am impressed 🤩 2y
tpixie Isn‘t that interesting?! Yes, read what YOU want! ( just finished your #CoverToCover book and loved it! ) Sitting supposedly writing in your journal- on Litsy instead! 2y

I enjoyed the hero‘s journey in this, and the little nuggets of wisdom everywhere. I also liked how ambiguous it was in relation to religion, philosophy, mythology, and other view points. I think anyone of any background could read this and find something useful in it.

This was my #doublespin pick for November, @TheAromaofBooks #bookspinbingo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y
