I arrived in Cape Town late afternoon and have nothing to do tonight - feeling very useless/unpopular/lonely. I went for a walk and saw some cute squirrels - we don't see/have them where I live. Aside from a bit of prep I need to do for the 3 days in the office, I plan on reading more of the tagged book, which I was enjoying on the plane.

Kristin_Reads A walk and a book sounds lovely! I visited many years ago and think that Cape Town is a beautiful city… and the cute squirrel is a bonus! 20h
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Kristin_Reads it is beautiful and it was a beautiful day. Sadly these days I always stay a few minutes from the office = far from the beach when I come here. It was still a lovely arrival 18h
BarbaraBB Enjoy your time in Cape Town, a place I really want to visit! 16h

This book is so cute! I‘m so glad I picked it up at the library the other day. Koishi and her Dad run a hard to find restaurant and detective agency. You describe a dish associated with a memory that you want to taste again and they will make it for you, make it taste the same as it did in that memory.

Highly, highly recommend if you need something cozy to read.

It‘s a pretty nice spring day. Starting a new book from my #AuldLangSpine list to try to get out of a bit of a reading slump. The barista excitedly told me she just finished this one as she was bringing me my dirty chai (also having overnight oats with apples and peanut butter).

1. Recursion by Blake Crouch was an engaging story expertly executed. Top-tier sci-fi.

2. Several, unfortunately, (People Love Dead Jews (poor narration), At 30 I Realized I Had No Gender (not what I expected)), and at least one that I wish I had (Sailor Twain)

Eggs Excellent-thx for playing 💖 3w

Began the month with a strong start, but the last few reads have been a little disappointing. We'll see what April and BookSpin brings 😁

Family Album: A Novel | Penelope Lively

Set in a rambling country house, this is the story of Alison + Charles, who bring up their 6 children with the help of au pair Ingrid. As adults the children reflect on an unconventional childhood + strange parents, + we learn more of the secrets in this middle-class English family. Penelope Lively is adept at drawing out jealousies and tensions within families, and I love her writing. Always entertaining. Cake + tea brings mothers day to a close

LeahBergen This sounds like my cup o‘ tea. Stacked! 1mo
CarolynM Great review. I think I‘ll make this my next Penelope Lively. 1mo

Could not get into this book by one of my favorite authors. Can‘t do dark right now. Maybe I‘ll try again when my heart is lighter.

5⭐️ OMG, my poor heart. This book was my February #FriendsPicForMe read. If follows one woman struggling with the onset of dementia as she tries to figure out what happened to her friend who went missing 67 years ago. The timeline bounces from 1951 to 2018. Going through the FMC experience of not only forgetting, but also when her timelines start mixing together leaving her so confused. Thank you @Roary47 for this recommendation.

Roary47 🤩 I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! It definitely pulls at the heartstrings. 💔❤️‍🩹 2mo
