#twentybooksofsummer I finished! I started more than 3 weeks late and, I cheated on my 20 books by adding another 10 in throughout July and August. But it was a good challenge and a lot of fun 😊📖📚📚📚📚📚📚📖
Included were fiction and nonfiction, an audio book and an ebook, a young adult book, a cookbook, a memoir, and an old children's book!

Beautiful! Haunting, painfully honest, sad. And yet, still beautiful! Wonderfully talented author!
Book #20 of my #twentybooksofsummer I started more than 3 weeks late and finished this very late at night but I finished all 20 books + 10 others during the challenge time. Whew!

The first book I read by Debbie Rodriguez was the Kabul Beauty School and I was hooked at that point on her writing! I also read The Little Coffee shop of Kabul and Margarita Wednesdays. Return to the Little Coffee Shop was never released in the United States but I was able to get a copy from a UK seller on Amazon and I'm so glad I did! Beautiful people in difficult circumstances overcoming. Worth the read, and I can't wait for her next book 😁

This book has been on my TBR stack for a while now and was one of my #twentybooksofsummer challenge. I'm so glad I finally got to it! I'm not sure what I expected but, I know it's not exactly what I had been expecting. Having said that, I really did enjoy the book, mostly the parts about actually being on the trail!

A Man Called Ove: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

Love, love, love, Fredrick Backman's writing and characters! He keeps creating characters that at first you're not sure you even like, then you feel sorry for them or at least have empathy for them, and in the end you fall in love with them and their big kind hearts 😊 Nick approves of the cat in the cover (& in the book). This was 1 of my #twentybooksofsummer. 3 R. Backman books down, 1 (plus a digital novella) to go. Beartown this fall 😊♥️📚📖

TheHeartlandBookFairy @rubyslippersreads , my Nick is actually Saint Nicholas but trust me he is no saint LOL 😂 he was left on our doorstep in December ( many year ago) in a box with a blanket and a note that his name was Nick as in Saint Nicholas. Oh trust me, he is sweet and he is loving and he is fun but he is no saint! But I love him anyway ♥️🐈 7y

I loved reading this book! It reads a little bit like a novel and a little bit like a cookbook, a perfect combination! I thought I would be sharing this book in my little free libraries when I finished however, I now have so many pages marked to try the recipes that it's going to be shelved with my cook books 😊 Wonderfully inspiring ♥️📚📖😊

I have loved many of her books but this one is simply not one of my favorites. I wouldn't say I disliked it but, not a favorite. I'm still trying to process the ending and I'm not sure how I feel about it but I won't give anything away here. There were times when I simply could not put the book down but overall, I've enjoyed some of her other books much more.

I received this book as part of a donation and I wanted to read it before I included it in one of my Heartland Little Free Libraries. This autographed copy was one of my #twentybooksofsummer. Such a quick sweet story of wartime. Much is glossed over of course due to the suggested age of the reader but none the less I enjoyed it and I think younger children would too. Probably recommended for third through fifth or possibly sixth grade.
