pick#SpringSkies Day 6: While there are quite a number of sibling-themed books, only a few really explore #Twins. In Hyewon Yum‘s twin series, it appears that she is drawing from her own experience of being a twin, seeing how she dedicated this book to Misun, her twin sister. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-nAk
No surprises here. Although I am glad I did not finish Our Fathers this month. That would be a hard call, both from #auldlangspine2024. #readingbracket2024 if you are the person who created this graphic, please remind me so I can tag you. I know I stole it from someone.
pickThis book is brilliant and poignant and beautifully written. I don‘t know how it‘s not on the “best of 23 lists”. It captures the rich and complex interior lives of ordinary people by showing us a brother and sister. Each POV is startling in its clarity, but then you see shards through the other‘s perspective and it makes it even more insightful. This author seems to understand modern humanity and a way to express it plainly. #auldlangspine2024
pickback-to-back big feeling books.
This was beautiful. It took me a while to read despite being a slim book. It didn‘t pull me to pick it up like some page turner that you want to see how it ends, but when I was settled in and reading it pulled me right inside of it.
I‘ll keep this line with me …
“Any beautiful moments lately?”
A long day travelling to DC and back again today. This title from my #auldlangspine2024 is coming with!
I think these are the titles I am most excited about on my #auldlangspine2024 list from @TheKidUpstairs So much new to explore on this great list
#WinterGames TeamReindeerGamers I love Big Brother. I have watched this show for years, so of course I'm watching the Christmas Special. 1st two episodes down. @StayCurious @Clwojick
Puddles has been obsessed with my belly since 6weeks pregnant, and he‘s not showing signs of stopping any time soon. He just melts my heart. ❤️ Off to get some puglove before I nap, and then plan to spend a few hours reading this evening for #WinterGames
Lol maybe not the prettiest pic? But you‘ll have to trust me that finding a poke counter in the liquor store (where I went to buy a bottle to thank a coworker for hosting me for thanksgiving) is a pretty great consolation prize for having a work trip over the holidays. And a great accompaniment for the NUMEROUS lists I need to figure out for all the #wintergames and etc challenges!
