pickThis hilarious epistolary novel is full of snark, literary references, and a surprising amount of heart.
Jason Fitger is a lit/creative writing professor at a small college and he is plagued with requests for letters of recommendations for students and colleagues. He is also on a mission to get his star pupil published, get in his ex-wife‘s good graces, and make everybody hate the economics department as much as he does.
Here is my #bookspinbingo board for my May TBR. After a not great reading month in April, I‘m giving myself more freedom.
My #bookspin pick will be a Library Book
My #doublespin pick will be a Book of the Month pick
I didn't do particularly well in April's #BookSpinBingo -- didn't finish my #BookSpin or #DoubleSpin selections and didn't get any bingos. Oh well, better luck next month! As always, it was fun making the attempt. Thanks for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks
pickWhat an absolutely lovely little book! I‘m not crying —YOU‘RE crying.
This collection of letters between an American scriptwriter and the staff of a British bookstore in London restores my faith in humanity and confirms my belief that book people are the best people.
Listen to the audiobook —the narrators are delightful.
On my to read list! The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,
#DynamicDs
Picking this one for #Dad not just because of the title but because it was a favorite of my Dad‘s (& mine!) & he played the lead in community theater. Also, as you can see from his script in the middle of the pile (excuse the recycled photo), his name was Don, so another “Dynamic D” for this month‘s theme. 2026 will make 30 years since he passed away & I still miss him every day.💙
Random book from our home library:
📖 The Gonne-Yeats Letters 1893-1938 edited with introductions by Anna MacBride White and A. Norman Jeffares
