I didn‘t know what to make of this story when I read it & I still don‘t, but I remember the places and people quite vividly and the central theme of the different ideas about staying in the place you come from or seeking something better (realistically or not) elsewhere.

#AboutABook

I‘m a bit ashamed to say that Percival Everett was a #NewToYouAuthor for me before James was a #CampLitsy2024 July pick & it turned out to be one of my best books of the year so far. I will be reading more of Everett & happy to hear any recommendations!

#AboutABook Day 5: our #CampLitsy2024 pick for the month is definitely a #NewToYouAuthor. Or rather, new to me. 💕🥰 Paired with guacamole freshly prepared from avocadoes imported from Mexico in front of us in one of the longest-running Mexican restaurants in Dubai.

My July Recap. Although It was a busy work month & I didn‘t get to everything I wanted to read, I feel great about finishing 13 books. I participated in #SundayBuddyRead #CampLitsy2024. #SheSaid #SeasonalCozies #Roll100 #NancyDrewBR #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #BobWhiteBuddies & #PemberLittens #chapteraday #SeriesLove2024 & #AuldLangSpine

3 were audiobooks which is a lot for me. I liked everything I read except All Fours but faves were James, ⬇️

I read so many good books this month I couldn‘t pick a favorite. I‘m posting this on the last book read. I didn‘t read nearly as many books this month but still pretty impressive since 3 had 500+ pages and I was on vacation half the month and barely able to read while overseas. Litsy stats:
- 2 books for #authoramonth
- 2 books for #foodandlit #Turkey (1 still in the works)
- 2 book for #camplitsy2024
- 2 books about #Ireland (for vacation)

Up next! I wanted to read this while in Ireland but I was only there a few days and wrapping up other books. So reading it now. #campLitsy2024 @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

Waiting at the dental surgeon‘s, my youngest is getting his wisdom teeth out this morning. I love this #camplitsy2024 book so much! I love the language, the love stories, Mary‘s fearlessness, the history lesson, all of it.
