I won my first book giveaway contest all thanks to @booksandbooks ! I am so excited to check out @ethanhawke ‘s new book, especially after listening in on his conversation on the premise and process with @kileyreid . Thanks Books and Books! 2020 post: I read “The Vanishing Half” as the first book for my new book club, and it was a captivating book! The story is about identical twin girls who carve out separate paths for themselves as members of different races. Brit Bennett creates complex characters of the twins, their daughters, and their lovers, and she keeps you guessing as to what comes next in their lives. This month I found 3 @barnesandnoble gift cards, so I may have gone on a shopping spree for gifts and 3 books for myself! Two of these books were on the “buy one, get one half off” table, and I have been waiting for “The Book of Delights” to find me for a little while. “Asleep” is a reread from summer reading for 9th Grade! A high school friend and I were reminiscing about our favorite school reads when we both decided to give this one a retry. I finished reading Norwegian Wood while on a staycation in Miami. This is my favorite quote, which shows the melancholic tone of the book! One last post from North Carolina, where I could enjoy cold weather and hot apple cider at Lake Junaluska! Now back to the Miami content! After buying this book from the Strand in NYC, I started it on a trip to the North Carolina mountains and finished it on a staycation in Miami. I am not very familiar with Japanese literature, so I found “Norwegian Wood” to be my official introduction; however, it contains many American references, especially music and books. The Friends of Marianna Black Library: When in Bryson City in December, we found this little used bookstore! It used to be a bar in the 1920s, so it has a vintage Art Deco-style mirror behind the check-out bar. We chatted with the lady behind the cash register and a patron, who were very nice, and my brother and I each bought two books for $2 each! Feliz noche buena!! In normal years, we celebrate with a big fancy dinner with our Cuban family in Miami. This year will be cozier with just our immediate family, so here is my latest cozy book review!
