Closing the book, she lay down on the bed. A day well spent is a life well lived. Thinking about the line she‘d read somewhere, she would drift off to sleep.

My GP has recently moved to a different practice so I get to visit a suburb which has one of the best independent book shops in my opinion. I get to browse books , walk around and have lovely coffee and chocolates. Plus see my wonderful GP. Looking forward to reading this book. Loved his latest.

Suet624 This is my favorite book of his. I‘m so happy you have it. 2h

Martyr!: A novel | Kaveh Akbar

Mehso-so

Cyrus vainly sets off on a quest to die for his beliefs, but the real way to give meaning to one‘s existence is to live—not even to create art as much as find beauty and grace in any small world we‘re lucky enough to find ourselves.

Beautifully written and quite a compelling read.
Akbar tells the story of Cyrus, an Iranian-American whose mother was killed when the US shot down an Iranian passenger plane and who is trying to understand the nature of martyrdom in the context of his own life and addiction.
A little predictable but nevertheless a compelling and provocative read and so beautifully written.

I Cheerfully Refuse | Leif Enger

No one cheerfully refuses pie! Yesterday was Blueberry Pie Day, but I made a mixed fruit crumb top instead.

A break from all my backgrounds of spring flowers. My first Lief Enger; this is for the Tournament of Favorites. I volunteered to be an alternate judge.

BarbaraBB What is the Tournament of Favorites? 5d
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - the goodreads group for ToB runs our own tourney. Last year I judged The End of Drum Time vs The Bandit Queens (I was terrified 😂) 5d
BarbaraBB Nice! And which did you root for? 5d

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - well, I went with Bandit Queens because it was more fun 🤩 🤷🏻‍♀️ though, I was extremely impressed with the writing of Drum Time. But it was just so bleak. So… both very worthy books. (Which is why book competitions are silly!!) 5d
BarbaraBB Thanks! 4d

wanderinglynn Ooh, I love the flower sets! 😍 5d
ncsufoxes I have this one. The roses were a pain (for me at least) to get together. I do love how they create such beautiful flowers out of LEGO pieces 💐 5d

I finished my telephone box and put it with my ‘set in the UK‘ books

Caroline2 Ah that‘s so cute! 🥰 6d
mcctrish @Caroline2 I am thinking about converting the telephone box into a little library but that will require some thought, a plan and perhaps an order for specific pieces 6d
Deblovestoread Adorable! 6d
