Pickpick

The author draws inspiration from his personal experience to show the similarities between Judaism and Chinese culture by highlighting the Rosh Hashanah and Lunar New Year traditions. Winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Awards 2024, it‘s a great picture book with vibrant illustrations to share with young readers, to learn about different cultures and reflect on customs that intertwine so beautifully. The back matter is very informative and helpful.

Question of the day: What are your Bookish Buzzwords? #QotD

As in, what words in a synopsis or description immediately make you interested in a book?

If it is queer, I probably want to read it. If it has a theatre setting, yup, I want it. Is it set in Edinburgh? That's my favourite city. Are they going on an adventure? I want to go along.

Be sure to tag me in an responses so I can see them!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This is the word that first came to mind, “unputdownable.” For the opposite reason though! I can‘t stand this word and I don‘t know why! Lol 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 3y
kathytrithardt @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks like an anti buzzword?! 🤣 3y
Tamra “Spare” 😊 3y
rwmg "For fans of" and "in the tradition of" are definitely my antibuzzwords. I read them as "trying to cash in on". Also, the more exclamation marks in the blurb (a particular sin of online blurbs) the less likely I am to read it 3y
