Is there anything more delightful than a morning spent at the dealership while they work on your car? I think not! However, this dealership has free 🍿!!
Anyhow, it‘s giving me time to read another #penguindropcaps. I have never read Ishiguro before and I am enjoying this quiet novel about a quiet man who may or may not have something interesting in his past...🤔

8leagueboot Ichiguro writes quiet, deceptively interesting people so well 😭 7y
AlaMich @8leagueboot I‘m definitely getting that sense... 7y

Morning reading 'n coffee on the patio, Fall Edition.

rubyslippersreads Great cover! 7y
TrishB What @rubyslippersreads said ☝ I'm in love with that cover. 7y
AlaMich @rubyslippersreads @TrishB Yes, it's the first book I've read from the #penguindropcaps collection my wife gave me for my birthday ❤️. It's hard because I have to always be conscious of whether my hands are clean, where I set the book down etc. Don't want to get it dirty. 7y

AlaMich @TrishB @rubyslippersreads All the covers are designed to relate somehow to the book. I think this cover represents the fact that the book is set in 1930 in NY (Prohibition), so there were speakeasies everywhere, and they would only let you in if they knew you. So it's the bouncer looking at her through the peephole in the door. I think. 😊 7y
rubyslippersreads @AlaMich @TrishB I also think it looks a bit like Elizabeth Taylor, who was in the movie. 😉 7y
AlaMich @rubyslippersreads Yes, I plan to see it when I'm finished. She was a bit old for this role, I now realize. 7y
TrishB I know what you mean about taking care with special books 😀 this is lovely! 7y
DivineDiana Beautiful- the book and the mug! 7y

Mehso-so

This isn't something I would typically pick up, so I was excited to give it a try! It is not going to be one of my all-time favorites, but I certainly enjoyed it! #myantonia #willacather #penguindropcaps #LitsyAtoZ

Otherworld_Library I tried and was underwhelmed with this years ago as well. 8y
gretaalisonreads @Otherworld_Library yes! It was good, but not my thing! I actually think Ellie will love it though. She is reading it now! 8y
