What a fascinating imagining of the people who shared in the life of an ancient text. It really brings to mind just how much was lost in book burnings of yore.

The overwhelming crowds make a visit to The Stanley rather underwhelming 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's The Blue Bistro for April; and The SunDown Motel still hasn't been beat.

Still working on covering the faded pink of my house. Starting my 2nd Geraldine Brooks during brakes.

I always enjoy EH's books, especially her earlier ones. The characters feel more authentic and the stories less formula. This one drew me in so completely I felt like I was in the bistro watching the story unfold.

1. There have been many throughout my life. But my sweet Beagle and Dopey were the best. Beagle thought she was a cat, and Dopey thought he was dog and the two of them together were like a comedy team.

2. Both

A very slow 150 page start. I almost DNFed but I didn't feel like choosing another book to start 😂 Once it really got into the meat of the story it was actually interesting.

Starting this #BookSpinBingo read this morning

Finished this yesterday morning before our family hike/picnic.

This was one of the most honest, straight-forward, heart warming coming of age stories I ever read.

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.
