Hello! It's been awhile but we are back to talk books. We start by knocking off the rust with random observations (longtime listeners will know this a ruse to not become too successful) before we delve into Ernest Hemingway's short story “Hills Like White Elephants.“ After that we nominate a great collection of books to add to our famous TBR. (We add more than one...)

pickTold very tongue in cheek in the style of “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.” This short story/novella will quickly have you chuckling (or cringing in frustration) at the absurdity of people and life.
My #Bookspin choice was a book by K.L. Noone; I intended to start with The Magician but this turned out the be a prequel. It's a short fantasy romance with some lovely writing, and definitely piques interest for the next book.
#JumpStartSummer (this time for sure!) book #1
pickA very quick read. The story has connections to Roswell and its history. It is quirky and rather unique.
4/5⭐️
Back online after a long long time
Well I was in a slump, insta slump, reading slump and what not.
Finally 1st read of 2025 , though a short story, it felt like a hug we need.
Backman's stories starts where I don't feel like continuing but by the end it's all smiles.

2025 Book 1
pickI‘m rounding up to a pick; I‘m not sure I really liked the MC, but I did appreciate the twist and liked the message I felt the author was giving.
Got a bingo for April #bookspinbingo with this one too!

pickBecause of the recap at the beginning, this one wasn‘t as good. IMO, a second book in a short story should just assume that someone has read the first and carry on. Outside of that, it was a fun and quick read.

pickA good story, about an introvert being dragged into interactions with his neighbors. Lucas loves his life, but when the apartment board wants him to get involved, it all goes to hell. Not a whole lot of action but a lot of introspection. Parts were funny, especially the way he solves his problems at the end.
