Had to bail on this #bookspin. It wasn‘t at all what I‘d hoped it was and there are other books calling my name.
pick#14books14weeks Soft pick. Weber writes about her father Stanley Kaufman who‘s real job was insurance bonding for films,but always had a scheme to make it big, mostly to carve time away from the family for his numerous infidelities. And Grandmother Kay Swift, a broadway show tunesmith in her own right. Married w/ children, she carried on a long affair w/George Gershwin, about the time she divorced, Gershwin died young from a brain tumor.🔽
pickThis was so funny, and touching at the same time. Quotes like “I thought finding your ancestors meant you had to dig up the remains of tsars and put hair follicles into little ziplock plastic bags using tweezers, but it‘s now all online. The day can‘t be far away when the police can solve crime using Google Felony” are sprinkled throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
pickI picked this at random from ThriftBooks when I needed one more book to get free shipping, and I‘m glad I did. It‘s warm and full of love, not scandal. Ubiquitous DNA tests are going to result in more surprises like this, so I hope there are more families like both the author‘s families who are just happy to have more people to love.
pickNeve Ford was all about Christmas and decorating but when she lost her husband, she didn‘t want to feel anything especially festivity… She moved to an apartment in Chicago and started a successful Christmas window dressing business. Though she builds a wall around her feelings, there is a special man who touches her heart… #MCObsessedWithChristmas #HolidayRomanceBingo #WinterReadathon #Bookspinbingo
