pickWasn't sure if I'd enjoy this as it could have been twee. I've read one other of hers, a YA, but wanted to see how she does grown up books.
And not disappointed! Unlike my usual choices but thoroughly comforting and positive.

As I clean the guest room so it is suitable for guests I had to take a small bookcase out (never fun) I still am obsessed with these little Booksellers stickers they used to put inside the books. How can there be so many books in a small bookcase ? 5 boxes ? Really?
pickBesties since they were 13, Shiloh and Cary are reunited at the wedding of another friend after a 14 year estrangement. The will they/won't they aspect of their relationship is obvious and ultimately this is more about the journey than the destination. I enjoyed the read.

I don‘t feel like I ever understood the main characters in this story but I did think their families, setting, and children (especially the children) were all written realistically. It was character driven, and Rowell did a great job compelling me forward.
I also loved it being set in 2006. The amount of times this woman put on a dress over her jeans - excellent. I think this was written specifically for us, elder millennials. Enjoy 💕
pickI feel like this is a book that you need to be in the right frame of mind to read. It's relationship centered versus action/thriller, etc. That being said, I loved it! The characters were authentic and real and it was the perfect book to read outside on this beautiful day.
pickThis is a sturdy novel about a Cold War destroyer captain who plays too close to the edge in games with a Soviet sub. A jaded rapscallion of a press liaison is on hand as the audience surrogate, watching with suspicion as the captain‘s fanatical (and also surprisingly complex) nature is slowly revealed and the crew is amped up to a state of constant tension. Definite Caine Mutiny vibes with a touch of nuclear war…I mean, warning.
I head off today since I worked all last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to wander downtown and splurge with some new books and iced jasmine tea! 💕📚
pickAmazing story of the prejudice and injustice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II. Setting is July 1944 at Port Chicago on the California coast. They were disrespected, segregation, forced to use dangerous equipment, and prosecuted with a charge of mutiny punishable by death…
