This odd little book didn't entirely gel for me, but it had so many wonderful pieces that I'll call it a pick. There's a very strong sense of place, turns of phrase that made me it feel like the author was inside my brain, and some wonderful joyfulness.

She leads him through the moves whose Spanish terms translate roughly into misogynistic commands: Give me the girl! Tell her no! Ben immediately takes to the simple “Coca Cola,“ where he releases Rue for a beat before winding her back. “Date her cousin!“ the instructor barks as they flop across the floor. “Plug her in!“
I haven't been able to really dig into this yet, but I am so happy Glen and Marketa have reconnected to release more music. The couple songs I've heard are delightful. I have such great memories of seeing them around the release of their movie Once.

pickThis historical fiction covered a lot without feeling stretched too thin. From wwi to the Great Depression, it covers #NYC theatre and baseball with a diverse cast of characters. I did this on audio and kept coming back to it because I “couldn‘t put it down.” Recommend.

And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you“ 🌤️

pickI heard about this book on a podcast & decided to listen to it. It was not exactly what I expected but still interesting & full of unique characters that eventually all tie together at the nightclub, The Cat‘s Pajamas. The young girl is a really fun MC because of her sass, but you will feel sad for her at times.
pick#doublespin I enjoyed this more than the first instalment, better character development & and more interesting ‘mystery‘ - looking forward to reading the next in the series!
bailedI really liked Beautyland and the Book Riot podcast folks love this one, so I figured I‘d give it a try. I made it almost halfway through but I just don‘t care. It isn‘t grabbing me at all. So, on to the next.
