| A very old favorite! With a puppy for Eileen. |

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel.
Not usually a sci-fi fan, I still found this an enjoyable read.
Yes, the contradictions of time travel! Yes, life on distant planets! |
 |
Trust by Hernan Diaz.
Nested stories that constantly surprised me! Especially the surprise ending. |
 |
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett.
Twins are always a good metaphor for something. Good read! |
 |
The Adventures of China Iron by Cabezon Camara.
I really did not like this book at all! Very forced and mannered writing. |
 |
| Reading now: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. |
And In Our Neighborhood
 |
| Finally: A few spring flowers among last fall’s dead leaves. |
Mainly this week was busy with Evelyn’s very quick visit. We did a few things together, cooked good dinners, took some nice walks, and ate lunch out a couple of times — NO STRESS! Although I did finish some books, I didn’t have time to write the kind of reviews that I like to write: those DO take time and thought.

“Bombay Fish Tacos” at Cafe Zola. Mango with Urfa Pepper is delicious!
Evelyn had shakshouka, Len had the mezze platter. All good. |

Hello,
The Little Golden Books are a treasure, my grandchildren would love the Porky Little Puppy book. You have a nice variety of library books to read. Glad you had a nice visit with Evelyn, the tacos look yummy. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I still have some Little Golden Books I bought in Australia (have never seen them in Germany).
It is always refreshing to know that some people still read! I wonder if Trump ever read a book in his life?
I love Poky little puppy. I collect children's books and have quite a few Golden books. I love them all!
I remember as a little girl watching the Egg and I a couple of times on TV, I don't guess I realized it was a book also
I liked Vanishing Half and LOVED Eleanor Oliphant.
I have had Girl, Woman, Other on my to be read shelf for a very long time, but for some reason keep skipping over it.
I book group had a good discussion from The Vanishing Half -- yep, good metaphor!
Good book pics. You've picked some good ones. I like to see signs of spring -- they aren't here yet. Hope you had a nice visit.
Oh the Poky Little Puppy is a book I've forgotten all about. It's a wonderful story. And I liked Trust as well as The Vanishing Half. The twist at the end of Trust surprised me too. Eleanor Oliphant is a great book too. I hope you're enjoying it.
