#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.

At the airport heading to Oregon. Had a free pass for the “fancier” airline lounge & since I‘m here early I took advantage of it & grabbed some random “breakfast.” Full disclosure, transition to lunch came & so I also had a cup of minestrone soup not pictured. 😋🥣

I‘m about 12 chapters in on the first #CampLitsy2024 pick & I‘m intrigued. I hope to read more on the plane if I don‘t go to sleep. 😵 It‘s been a scramble getting out of town.

3.5 stars

Lots of good social commentary in this one along with some incredibly delicious sounding foods. Basically zero likeable characters though. I debated sticking it out when I was about 1/4 in, but decided to stick with it after feedback from @BarbaraJean who'd read it. I am glad I did, but I'm also happy to be done with it. 😂
