Gah I forgot to post my #bookspin list at the beginning of the month! A lot of stragglers from last month that weren't finished because of expiring holds, so I'll be excited to have a cleaner slate in April.

It‘s time for my monthly #BookishMonopoly! I rolled another lucky 7 and landed on “Nonfiction.” Since I was so enamored by Pat Conroy‘s beautiful writing last month, I chose the tagged book. It was published in 2016, sadly the year Pat lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. It‘s a collection of Pat‘s most charming and memorable interviews, articles & letters as well as tributes honoring his legacy. He left us too soon. 😢

pickI listened to this charming epistolary novel on audio, and it was the perfect medium for it. This short, heartfelt story unfolds through letters exchanged between two women in the 1960s—a young, adventurous Californian and a seasoned writer in the Pacific Northwest. The story is filled with warmth, endearing characters, and plenty of delicious food references (and even a recipe or two!). A comforting palate cleanser. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
😭😭😭My husband & I were recently displaced from our home by a fire. No one was hurt & our things were fine, we did have to look for a new home. He knew how difficult an experience this has been, including having to seriously downsize my library. As a housewarming gift, he found something I I have been searching for- an Italian translation of my favorite book! Next Jan 1st, when I do my annual read it will be in Italian! 😭😭😭
