#despacito

Y'all, my reading pace was #despacito this weekend... I couldn't even finish off this little novella (pic from last week 😛). However, I am loving Yoshimoto's delicate writing style. Her writing is deliberate so that she can say so much in very few words. I can see why she became a sensation in Japan!

Mdargusch Sounds very interesting. Would I like it? 6y
emilyhaldi @Mdargusch it‘s more of an abstract / philosophical read but you might like it 🤔 6y
Blaire I used to see this book at kramerbooks in dc all the time but never bought it. Cover always intrigued me. 6y
Reviewsbylola Think I‘ll pass on this. 6y

#HeatIfJuly #Despacito

I don't think I paid attention to the lyrics in this catchy song or their translation. It's pretty spicy !?? I went with "We're gonna do it on a beach in Puerto Rico..." line. I spent time in Old San Juan about 15 years ago as we opened the Starbucks market there & I walked around Fort San Felipe Del Morro (shown on the cover of these noir stories) to exercise. I mostly remember all the feral cats ???prowling around.

TrishB Great picture 👍🏻 6y

I think I remember hearing somewhere that #Despacito loosely translated to “slowly,” and that is exactly how my reading of War and Peace is going! Halfway through #TheYearofWAP, but not quite halfway through the book. But I‘ve enjoyed what I‘ve read so far.

BarbaraBB I think it‘s a book best read #despacito 😀😘 6y
CBee This is my husband‘s favorite. I don‘t think I could make it through, so kudos to you!! 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I'm also reading through this slowly. I enjoy it, but some days it feels like I'll never finish. I just keep reading. 🤣🤣 6y

I‘m using the photo challenges to catch up on books I read this year but haven‘t reviewed yet lol. Reading over the lyrics of #despacito made me think of how the couples in this book seem drawn to each other by forces outside of their control - though the sexy times in this one are offscreen and not nearly as vivid as what‘s happening in this song! #HeatOfJuly @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen

BarbaraBB Until today I had no idea of what the lyrics meant 😂😀 6y
bookwrm526 @BarbaraBB I understood some of it, but I had no idea it was that steamy until I looked up a translation! 6y

Even in the #heatofjuly, I still find myself looking for a comforting meal, and my crockpot has been my go to kitchen appliance! Some of my favorite books are in my ever growing cookbook collection, so I‘m submitting a few of my slow cooker books for #despacito. Low and slow, baby. Low and slow. 🥘💛

BarbaraBB Smart pick! Lovely books 💜 6y

It was so much fun doing #HeyJune that I‘m going to carry on with #HeatOfJuly but I know work is gonna kick my butt so I might have to be a little #despacito about it.

But first, June wrap up !

I‘m sitting out here in the #HeatOfJuly watching my kids and cousins having a water fight. Everything is moving very #despacito in this 95 degree heat including my reading of this very good book!

I‘m attempting to commit to a photo challenge for the first time ever. I‘m going to try very hard!
