so-soThe history of Iran just before, and following the revolution was interesting. I didn't care for the writing, however; and it was too long.

Reading this book kind of makes me feel drunk? In a good way.
Great books this month, however I‘m the only one in my Bookclub who didn‘t love Martyr!

House is clean. Thunder storm approaching. But I've got my coffee and a possibility for another bingo this month. All is good right now 😊
Feels good to soak in the tub with a new book after working in my garden. 🌸💚
pickA beautiful, unforgettable story of love, loss, and fate. The Stationery Shop moved me deeply. The emotional depth, especially the grace shown by her husband, was powerful. His quiet strength and understanding left a lasting impression. A poignant, tender read—I‘ll carry it with me always. ★★★★★
so-soI started off really enjoying the book but as it progressed it lost the plot completely. The premise is about living a meaningful life and finding meaning through art, relationships and faith, and defining meaning for life through death (as the title suggests) but the author gets distracted by the frivolous and places emphasis on characters who are inherently meaningless or unlikeable that the message never truly lands.
