Un libro trovato per caso in un book crossing, dove è raro trovare qualcosa di valido, raro ma non impossibile. Questo libro l'ho trovato molto toccante, con delle descrizioni tenere e malinconiche ma dettagliate che sono state come delle carezze e hanno facilitato a immaginare e sentire. Succede tanto e niente allo stesso tempo, ma non importa perché in questa storia guidano le sensazioni più che i fatti.

Loved it! The book follows Ann‘s dysfunctional and turbulent childhood as her mother pursues her dreams. I loved that the author had different women in the book write chapters of events from their viewpoint.

The definitive oral history of the making of Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the longest-gestating and most ambitious movies ever filmed. After seeing Furiosa, I wanted to go back and learn the crazy story of how they made this wild movie.

"When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either." Mr. Bingley - Chapter 9

#Pemberlittens Chiltern Classic another that needs added to the database. ?

"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." - Chapter 5

#Pemberlittens today's Pride and Prejudice is beautiful edition that includes recipes from Martha Stewart and the most amazing cookie art.

I was craving a classic afternoon tea so in my cup is Twinings English Afternoon tea. ???

I wasn‘t old enough to see this movie in theaters. However, as a teenager it often played on one of the four channels I had to surf. Oh, how it brought me to angsty teenage tears. This is a super quick read and it ages fine - except thanks HIPPA, a patient should learn their fate 1st 😳. I absolutely knew the ending (and catch phrase) yet still I cried - maybe a bit for my 15 yo channel surfing self 🥲😂

marleed @TheAromaofBooks I purchased the anniversary addition of this book during the lockdown in 2020 when it seems I spent a year‘s income on book buying. I‘ve been hoping for a hit on this category since I first created BS categories in Jan 2023 just so I could prioritize this little book which took just over an hour to read! 2mo
Ruthiella Ah, the years of only network television and the joy of catching movies like this! 😂 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2020 is the year I discovered Book Outlet, so I also may have had some book purchasing issues 😂 😂 😂 2mo
marleed @Ruthiella omg, if only I could have the hours back that I spent channel surfing (a word and activity lost to technology 😄) as a tween and young teen! This, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Wait until Dark (Audrey Hepburn) are the movies that come immediately to mind. The later two scarred the hell out of me - if I remember right, one channel hosted Friday Fright nights after 9 or 10. …And funny reading this as a grandparent - dad‘s not soooo bad! 2mo
marleed @TheAromaofBooks it may take me years to get through my personal stack of books published in 2020! 2mo
