Penang, 1939. The young Philip Hutton, half Chinese, half English, meets a Japanese man who will be his Aikido teacher, who shares tons of wisdom and who loves him unconditionally. Philip shows him his homeland and Tan Twan Eng is able to captivate Malaysia‘s smells, images and aromas masterfully. Then Japan invades Malaysia and the story becomes one about divided loyalties, betrayal, courage, cruelty and forgiveness. I loved it.

Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

Started this book yesterday even though it's not a #freakyfriday pick because of #litsybuddyread. Anyway to say it starts off with a bang is an understatement (sorry for the pun)but holy moly why did I start this at 11 last night? #hookedbytheopener #latenightreading #pageturner #readinngresolutions #wilderness #popsugarreadingchallenge #bookaboutasport

I Don't Care If We Never Get Back: 30 Games in 30 Days on the Best Worst Baseball Road Trip Ever | Ben Blatt, Eric Brewster

pick

Read this a part the #popsugarreadingchallenge #bookaboutasport. I am a huge baseball fan and enjoyed this book about the road trip from hell. Two college graduates plan the ultimate road trip 30 ballparks in 30 days. I laughed out loud throughout I am sure my co-workers thought I was nuts. 👍🏼👍🏼

You Will Know Me: A Novel | Megan Abbott

Because 9 challenges on Litsy just isn‘t enough, I thought I‘d share this one I spotted thanks to @brookerhi 👍🏻It looks like fun, so I‘m jumping in...The #FirstReadofTheYear in 2017 was this YA by Meg Abbott, which I did not enjoy, way to YA for me and it didn‘t read true enough. It was for #popsugar17 #BookAboutASport if you are participating in #Booked2018 this works for #BookFeaturingAnOlympicSport 😀Its about competitive gymnastics 🤸‍♂️
