Coffee is my tea.
Three cups I drink, sometimes more;
It just keeps me warm.

Another book haul thanks to a gift card I got as a belated Christmas gift from some friends 😁 #enablers
Look what she‘s wearing,
Rebecca — she likes big bustles
and cannot lie. 🍑

pickThe book takes some warming up. The first part is dense and the character (a professor) bloviates a bit. But once it got rolling I was all in. It tells of a past event from different points of view and poses the question: how much can we ever really know another‘s true self? McEwan's prose is gorgeous, full of heady ideas, and gradually lays bare the emotional landscape of characters. A few surprises culminate in a very satisfying ending.
bailedI made it about 30%, but I just can't. The text feels like a poet writing prose (i.e. overly flowery), and her naivete is a little irritating. Not to say I would have known differently if I were in her position, but the way it is presented is annoying.
journey through the stacks;
find a quiet nook and curl
up with a good book. 📚
