During a weekend getaway to Tampa, we stopped at the @oxfordexchange , and I found it to be the perfect spot to read a few chapters of The Missing of Clairdelune. I have gotten so into the Mirror Visitor series, I can’t put it down! After enjoying Rules of Magic, I really wanted to like Practical Magic, but the characters were just not as sympathetic and entertaining as those in its prequel. Practical Magic tells the story of the two young sisters mentioned at the end of the Rules of Magic origin story, but I am afraid the story of the two aunts is much more captivating. 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.
