Thanks for the tag @Eggs

#majicmonday

I started a new exercise routine that has helped stop the ache in my knees. And as much as I hate exercising, I do like mobility so I've stuck with it 😊

Eggs Glad to hear it‘s working! 23h

My abundance of gratitude tattoo serves as a daily reminder to be #Grateful because time is finite. The quote is from the tagged book.

I don't know how I feel about this. I was interested, touched, horrified, bored. It was too much war story for me, but I learned a lot. Overall, I liked the two MCs too much to DNF. Also, it gave me a whole new perspective on the cartoon Stop That Pigeon 😂

After a bit of a slow I had a hard time putting this down. Adoption has some shady ass roots thanks to Georgia Tann. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.

See All 6 Comments
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I hate when that happens. It starts to feel like maybe it's me, like I'm losing my love of reading. But I'm starting to realize that it's more like trying on clothes--I might like the look of something, but that doesn't mean it looks good on me. So, frustrating as it is, I keep going until that "Ahhhhh, this is the one" moment. But still, I feel ya ? 1mo

As soon as I started this I remembered why I have zero memory of A Visit From The Goon Squad--I had no idea what the hell I had read. After 70 pages of an incoherent jumble of story elements I decided to #HailTheBail

My second DNF of the month and it's only the 3rd 😆 But that also means two more TBRs off the shelf so Yay!

I loved that everyone found exactly the right book at exactly the right time. What felt like choppy story telling actually came together quite nicely, even if the end dragged a bit. Overall, a good story.

The Water Is Wide | Pat Conroy

A memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.
