What a beauty!
I am taking life lessons from an 80-year-old dancer because she is tough and likely in a much better shape than I am
Early Victorian London, lady investigators, medical men, dangerous mermaids, nostalgic ghosts, things in jars. Playful, macabre, entertaining. Jess Kidd at her best!
A little Friday night inspiration. Most sticky for me: “Be grateful for what you have AND demand what you deserve” and “Failure means you‘re finally IN the game.”
A great graphic novel with a serious discussion about race and immigration, but also with some giggles.
Blah. He tells many semi-entertaining stories about running and complains much about his divorce/ex-wife. I kind of see why he was divorced.
I was trying to hold off on buying it and then I realized I was being silly. Of course I need this book!
Emotional, dark, privileged, funny, introspective, set on the Venice Beach, possibly featuring a merman. Perfect bitter beach read. #books #bermuda #beachread #merman
I AM, I AM, I AM by Maggie O'Farrell--a fascinating collection of essays about the author's near-death encounters, written in a way that sparkles, like the feather on the cover.
Sherlock Holmes is better as a woman and with a cat. This is the second book in an amazing series and the cat is featured only outside of the story.
Beautifully written book about Germans, especially German women, during and after the World War II. It's about national guilt and responsibility and personal capacity to live and feel connection with other people in spite of the darkest of evils. And, with their themes of spreading nationalism and fascism, the story feels unfortunate in its relevance to current times.
I'm in weeping love with Motherest by Kirsten Iskandrian. Girlhood, motherhood, grief, loneliness, love. Readable and resonant. #books
Stories within stories. Rich language. Big feeling. Messed-up characters. A story about creating, being yourself, and being happy.
A fictional story of Thoreau, Emerson, and mostly Samuel Lock, an escaped slave living next to the Walden Pond. Racism, privilege, and the meaning of freedom, or even the meaning of life.
Stuffed French toast and this collection are definitely more beautiful then Beyoncé. She is cool, too.
I am obsessed with dark, strange, dirty, exquisite The Lonely Hearts Hotel, but what to read next??!!
Happy Birthday to The Day I Died by Lori Rader-Day: great cover, thrilling plot, memorable main character.
When was the last time you read a book by and about a Czech, let alone a Czech in space? I'm slightly in love with this book. 😍📚Philosophical, lyrical, political, humorous, and a bit cynical. Sooo good!
