A wonderful book about family and love and is now a banned book thanks to a lot of horrible people. Very happy I live in a state that Republicans couldn't cheat their way into the majority so I am able to get this and other great books from my library. #bannedbooks #library

A new stack from the library complete. Several of these amazing books the shitheads (Republicans) will want to ban or are already banning. #readtoyourkids #library #readbannedbooks

With the nonstop subzero temperatures outside I am very glad I stocked up on books from the #library. Me and my little muffin are staying in and reading.

Finally had time to read a book for just myself and another novel by Mingmei Yip certainly did not miss yet again. Really loved the characters and wished that all of them had their own novels from each of their perspectives.

Baby Storytime at our local library brings a whole new experince and routine to our lives. I love reading to my baby and it's so nice that once a week I can turn it into a fun big social event for him.

Time to take these back to library. All 5 are brilliant books to read to your little ones but I really enjoyed them myself. I wish there had been this much diversity in children's books 30 years ago, all of them made me jealous my son gets them during his childhood. #library #readtoyourkids

Me and baby loved this book. A great story about Mulan that doesn't reduce her story as a subplot to a romance. #China #folklore

Just got this book from the library and read it to my baby. He really loved the pictures, so talkative. And I loved it; teaching new information about birds in a cute way and thus so easy to remember. #library #readtoyourkids

Covid positive but I got my #kindle and the best boy by my side.
Sequel to The Consorts, liked this story much better, I really felt I understand the main character. I hope the real women this is based on had the happy ending. #dog company with a #goodbook I can handle #covid.

Nothing quite like staying in during the rain with a good book and going through your photo albums.
Great book; Andy Weir doesn't miss with character arcs or intense plot or storytelling(even though so far he always gives us a happy ending). Never gets old or tired. #moon

Andy Weir delivers again! So good but I kind of figured out how the ending was going to go. Still brilliant and can't wait to see what story he comes up with next!

A Novella, not to my taste, it was more of a romance novel read but it was a good story.

A brilliant memoir/biography and being written by the child of the story teller truly brings it to a whole deeper level of empathy I have never experienced in a memoir before. #family #history #cozyslipperread

This is the second book in The Dragon Series. I didn't read the first book but it was not needed, a great novel on its own. Can't wait to read the other two.

Beautiful sunny day in the middle of winter, great day to sit out and read.

Lovely read. While reading I kept wishing to see what was happening between the parallel stories. What happened when one was waiting and the other two got to continue living?

Great novel about a mothers experience during the Japanese invasion of Malaysia. My heart broke but my mind stayed strong that they would make it through the war together the whole time I was reading.

"Think of love as a state of grace not as a means to anything...but an end in itself."

Libraries are doing digital rentals right now, highly recommend, great read by Gabriel Garcia Marquez on my flight to Denver and got a lovely surprise when the flight landed.

Skeleton Women | Mingmei Yip

Reading this spy love destruction novel right after flying to meet my love waiting with roses just feels like a scene I am going to read in this novel.
A triller and romance tied into the protagonist trying to figure out if she should accept her mission or follow her heart and risk death. #kindle #spy

Libraries are still closed, no one having parties that will require a cake. So on day 38 of my COVID-19 self quarantine, I made an antique King Lear book cake. Hope everyone thinks it could pass as a book and not food.

Such a great book even though I'm reading it on my kindle, the feel of a book in my hand and it's scent is always better.
This novel really makes me want to talk to the elderly, I want to hear their stories, stories that they didn't get the chance to publish. #quarantine #kindle

About halfway, very good, it addresses mental illness in a way that does not make you feel sorry for person, really love that.

Very rarely do I think a book only needs one word to describe how great it is but Pearl Buck's masterpiece only needs this, AMAZING. Please read this beautiful and hopeful story of a farmer and his family in early twentieth century China. #China #Nobel

I read Anchee Min's two novels about the last empress of China out of order but it still worked. Both are amazing and reading the sequel first did not feel like I sequel, I knew what was going on the entire time.
