Thought I'd share a cool little library phone booth that we stumbled upon in Scotland. We were driving through the countryside in the middle of nowhere when I spotted it and we pulled over to take a look. It was such an unexpected and fun surprise! 📚
Reminds me of the tagged book, which I really need to read now!

pickThis is a hard book to read. Unlikeable characters, dealing with life and each other. Anita Brookner is such a good writer of characters, I felt like a fly on the wall, observing their lives closely, feeling their solitude and aging. Thanks for the recommendation Sarah 🤍
pickPhillips‘ writing is mesmerizing. I feel a little guilty for disliking Sam, given that she had been through so much. I thought the ending foreshadowed a dismal future for her. Both she and Elena were interesting characters, though. 3.5*
so-soWhile creative, I had a hard time liking the main storyteller. This would have been incredible if the sisters took turns telling this one. Fairy tale of sorts that has potential, but as the sister who does most things, I had a hard time feeling empathetic for Sam.
pickReally liked this book about the relationship between two sisters and the bear that comes into their lives on an island off the coast of Washington. As the bear becomes the defining feature of their lives, truths and secrets come out and change their very existence. Very unlike anything I‘ve read and a real page turner at the end.

I am looking forward to the tagged book thanks to @sarahbarnes recommendation but first I am a out to start Water, which @Megabooks loved. Penance will be a palette cleanser I think!
