This was the first Jodi Picoult book that I've read and if the others are anything like this, I'll line up to read them. Beautiful prose and dialogue and a stunning amount of research done to produce this novel. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge
This was fun. Flip through it in an evening. Terrific illustrations and an exhibit that I would like to see in person one day. Sara Berman's Closet by Maira Kalman and Alex Kalman. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge
I know I'm late to the game but this was recommended by so many that I had to read it. Waited for months on Libby to get it and so glad I did. It's a beautiful story that we should all read. #BookSky #52books #52bookchallenge
Sigh. This memoir or remembrance is a poignant piece written by a mother after the loss of two sons to suicide. She deals with facts. Although she now lives in the abyss, she is the still the mother and they are still her sons. She strives to understand and accept. #Booksky #52Books #52BookChallenge
The Pulitzer Prize got it right the year this was selected. Beautiful writing & a story I will continue to think about. I'm quite certain that I will read it again.Thanks to @retired-librarian.bsky.social for introducing it as one of the #BannedBooks #BannedBookSky #BookSky #52books #52bookchallenge
As part of my dry January, I read this book. Clearly built around one woman's serious journey but some very relevant and interesting chapters along the way. The format is great for individuals wanting to make change. Read a little, reflect and write. #BookSky #52BookChallenge #52Books
If you get the audio book, Meryl Streep narrates and does a lovely job. She just "seems" like the right voice for this tale. I enjoyed the protagonist sharing the story of an early romance with her daughters and appreciating the life she chose. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge
Listened to this on a long drive. Bottomline: focus on the gain - not the gap. Measure backwards. There are a few nuggets like identifying tomorrow's gains tonight but I resented some of the analogies like the one where the author was potty training his children. #Booksky #52books #52bookchallenge
A gem recommended by @retired-librarian.bsky.social as part of her #BannedBooks reading. Loved the illustrative dialogue and think it should be required reading. Chuckled when one of the reasons for banning was that the protagonist was older than her lover??? #BookSky #52BookChallenge #52Books
Fascinating tale built around topics that Allende often explores. Oh such a twist of fate on one winter night and how three people come together to live it out. Very enjoyable.

Ich habe mein Leseziel von #52books in 2025 deutlich verfehlt, was aber auch daran liegt, dass ich in letzten Jahr einige ambitionierte Bastelprojekte umgesetzt habe #FriddeBastelt
Ein gewisser Eskapismus mit viel Fiction, Feel Good Literature und Fantasy lässt sich nicht leugnen.
Just finished listening to this. Wow. People and money and power and greed. It's an unfortunate story but you should read it. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge #MoreLike42
I just binge-listened to this on my long drive. Totally sucked in and what great character development with a twist.

My reading has slowed a bit in this last quarter but I just finished this beautifully written tale. Obviously worthy of a Pulitzer and so surprisingly different from other books that I have read by the same author. #Booksky #52BookChallenge #52Books
#52Books update!
With the completion of Joe Abercrombie’s ‘The Devils’ I have now read 30 books this year.
Two black cats and a kindle
My cat making like Grendel and trying to eat my kindle. She has good taste: Fantastic horror novella by Adrian Tchaikovsky. #booksky #adriantchaikovsky #novella #52books #beowulf #walkingtoaldebaran
Lovely, poignant, funny, sad and deeply accurate. This is a short but beautiful read about losing someone who is still here with us. #booksky #52books #52bookschallenge
One of the better books that I have read this year. Stephen Johnson explores innovation in a thoughtful way with evidence about where good ideas incubate and grow. #booksky #52bookchallenge #52books
This was my first Freida McFadden and it was a page turner for me. I understand that others found it formulaic but since I haven't read others, it was well done. Great character development through Milly's voice.

I heard about this book a few years ago and finally listened to it via Libby. It's great investigative reporting and writing. I appreciated the way the book ends - not with a lesson but with questions that still exist about tissue sampling and directives. #booksky #52books #52bookchallenge
Just finished this novel - another one with multiple story lines that weave together in the end. Curious if others have read this and what your thoughts are? #booksky #52books #52bookchallenge
Unlike anything I usually read and wishing that I could remember who suggested it because I am puzzled by the ending. #Booksky #52books Detouring back to nonfiction for a reprieve!
Chosen by my book club and not my pick but I picked up the audio version, read by Ina Gartner and enjoyed hearing about her life. Definitely some nuggets in there! #booksky #52books #52bookchallenge
Just finished and definitely recommend this book by John Green. #booksky #nationalbookloversday #52books
Ever stuggle to get through a book but not wiling to give up? Honestly, this has been on my "to read" list for at least three years. A friend recently told me to put down everything esle that I was reading and focus. It worked. Worth the work too!

Second Matt Haig book this year. Curious why both were written from the viewpoint of a British woman?
