Book removal & haul! Have tagged the only one I bought - the others were a gift, removal from @squirrelbrain's home, and blind date!

My final book at #Gladstones25 was another good one. It felt so personal and relatable. It is about a woman struggling with mothering 2 young kids. She misses working and being a woman. I could very much relate to that (even though I always kept working) but then the story turned to her father dying and I could relate even more. Ugly tears at the airport , waiting for my flight home. This book might not be for everyone but it certainly was for me

This is a very strange Japanese book again. About a shy girl, hired by a museum to talk Latin to an old statue of Venus on days the museum is closed. It‘s a book about art and raincoats, loneliness and living in Japan, and, between the lines, child abuse. It‘s funny and challenging. Thanks for the gift, @TrishB 💕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Ivona and Vlato meet as students at the turn of the millennium in Zagreb. Everything smells of freedom and possibility. Red Hot Chili Peppers are pumping through the speakers of a bar and cheap beer is overflowing; newly democratic Croatia is alive with hope and promise.”

With a blurb like this, my expectations were high and I am happy to say I loved this book.⬇️
