pickGosh, what a read and in so few pages. This is the first I've read by her but won't be the last. It's taught me more about the Japanese internment in WW2 and the huge suspicious around them.
Removing character names really struck me as not depersonalisation but nameless people, as in the camps. The final chapter will stay with me for a while.
bailedI was glad to have seen some of the somewhat ambivalent reviews of this from other Littens, because it made it easier to bail when it wasn‘t working for me. I gave the audio about an hour and a half and I was just so bored.
My #Roll100 picks for April are pretty sweet. I already read Jazz back in February, so only have two “musts”.
Marking Time will work for #SeriesLove2025, as it‘s the second in the Cazalet Chronicles.
I own a physical copy of Little Bee and will make it work for #OffMyShelf
pickAncient coliseum battleground, sacrifice, early Christians, politics, and cruel villains are written in the background where two slaves fall in love and are heinously separated. This book truly has it all. I intend to read all of Kate Quinn. TW - coliseum fights and torture are graphic #ancientRome #jubilee #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
pickWow, for 149 pages, this book packs a punch. A man leaves his 10 year old daughter to go on a questionable quest. The journey that ensues is interesting but there are some terrifying moments for his daughter. I loved the character Old Woman From A Distance.

I apologize—I should have posted this sooner! Zeke is going through another rough patch & has an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday. I picked up more meds for him from the vet today. I‘m not as consistent keeping up with everything else. 😂
