 Daily Joys – 276
Walking, taking a bath, slowly moving towards reset.  Daily Joys – 275
Took a long walk and a long bath and grateful.
Thich Nhat Hanh was a huge lost for humanity. He’s such an amazing teacher and I loved this reminder that suffering is a part of life just like happiness+joy and it’s not something to run away from. I am grateful for his teachings.
I heard about this book from my son who thought the premise was super interesting. He was so right. What a fantastic story and how well told. Extra interesting that it’s written by two Russian brothers back before USSR broke apart. I loved the science fiction in this story but not as much as I loved the characters and how memorable they will be for me. Excellent, excellent story.
3.5 stars Read this in one breath. It was fast paced and interesting. Some serious suspension of disbelief but still interesting to read.
I loved this book about the return of a man back to his hometown island and the havoc that causes with the folks that live there, unearthing and old fire and murder that was never resolved and a romance that never died. I loved reading this one.
Lovely story about how it feels to go home after a long time and to reconnect with your siblings whom you’d wronged a long time ago. Family, memory, parenting, sibling relationships and home are all themes in this beautiful story.
Angie Cruz is an excellent writer. I loved her first book and I loved this one. Her ability to create lively and interesting characters that have depth and stay with you is one of a kind. Her dialogue is funny and full of heart. Her stories stay with you long after you turn the last page. Loved this one.
3.5 stars Read this in one sitting. Lovely alternating stories about the main character and her grandmother and how they each find their way into becoming a matchmaker. It’s a bit magical, but full of tradition and what it means to be a woman.
3.5 stars A soft, beautiful story about a man who travels to Japan right during the pandemic to find his old love. Loved this quiet story.
The finale. Well done. It’s hard to finish a book like this in any way that feels satisfying and yet this one did. |
