pickValentine‘s Day used to be Valentina‘s favorite holiday—but not anymore. She believes her family is cursed to be unlucky in love. But when she meets a cute lion dancer on Lunar New Year, she embarks on a reluctant journey, hoping that maybe—just maybe—she can break that curse. This didn‘t have the complexity I loved in American Born Chinese, but as a love story, it still took some unexpected turns! Great characters, & I loved the artwork as well.
Started reading this book and it is oddly drawing me in and I‘m enjoying it. It‘s a bit different. Anyone read it?
pickThis was so different, weird, and wonderful! Very strange premise but it worked. (16)
⭐️: 4/5
pickGlad I finally got around to this book! It‘s delightful, slightly heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful. A fantastic story of non-conformity. And bonus, the audiobook is read by the late, great (but never forgotten) John Ritter! I so want to see the Disney+ adaptation now too.

1. Growing up in the countryside was so carefree, I often wonder if I grew up the city, how would I have been different!
2. Forks…I loved reading about this place in the tagged book. The trees, the rain etc
pickThis novella title is not in Litsy database. At the art museum, two scantily clad lovers are found early one morning asleep on the floor; the young woman almost afloat in yards of frothy wedding dress fabric…they told the arresting police that the door was open during the night and they walked right in…
BTW the tagged book is one of my favorite Allende books.

Yes, I've met Audrey Niffenegger and Nicholas Sparks both at their book signings. Same with The Pioneer Woman, though she's not really in the same category of author. I have pictures somewhere, but they're not on my phone so can't share. #SUNDAYFUNDAY @BookmarkTavern
pickI devoured this #BOTM club book. It kept me guessing as to what was really going on with the main character, Eugene. It overall had a very intriguing premise. Through it all, I loved to love story…the idea of a love that transcends centuries and even lifetimes.
