I ate an enormous bowl of poke while I started A BÁNH MÌ FOR TWO, and now I never want to eat anything again—except all the Vietnamese foods in this book sound so durned good that I‘ll probably crack and eat something else, someday. We‘ll see.

pickWhoa. Talk #AboutABook that's #ShortButPowerful ?
How the hell I've had this book 38ish years and thought I read it is just beyond.
Minus the peep show era of Times Square this book could have written today. The ultra fine line between "good" guys & "bad" guys is timeless.
I've got a book hangover to nurse

Since I posted about Cormier for #AboutABook and this one happens to be on my #BookSpinBingo board I figured why not.
I may have already read this back in the early 90s; or maybe not. Back then I shelved all books together and I ended up overlooking a few TBRs when I quickly learned to separate them.
pickRebelling against a restrictive and rigid faith, mad support for the LGBTQ+, a girl inspired by art, and a literal musical triumph over the high school alt-right? What's not to love?! Sure, Hope's mom's turnaround in perspective felt a little too good to be true, and OK, I skipped most of the sci-fi story-within-a-story, but overall, so enjoyable. I can never resist self-discovery, good friends, and great music. #BooksAndBlooms
pickA tough but inspiring read about overcoming obstacles, living with loss and finding yourself. This deals with death of a child / sibling, divorce, grieving, finding a way to live when your most important person has died, facing tragedy & struggles head on and finding love.
