OMG...loved this book...one of my favorites this year. I laughed...I cried my eyes out...I thought it was wonderful! And...it's sort of about a bookish person! Alice...who loves books and gets to review books for her yummy part time job...her friend Susanna...who owns a book store. Lots of bookish references...lots of fun family stuff...lots of angst...lots of tears! Alice needs to get a "real" job when her husband loses his...she leaves her lovely small publisher to work for a huge concept ebook company. Alice struggles with her newly drinking husband, her friends, her new bosses, her kids, her ailing father...but the way this author writes about all of these issues was so addictive. I loved every word! I am sad that my time with this book has ended! Soooooo sad...readers who love
books and family drama...will love this book!
I've got that book and need to move it up my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI tried my hand at coloring last night and I'm not too good at it. *sigh*
Oh no! I thought that you would be an excellent colorer...bump that book up!
DeleteA Window Opens sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to our Farmer's Market after hearing about your haul. Yum!
Girls will be girls :) Have a good weekend!
It was a wonderful book. Have a great week end!
DeleteThe girls are typical cats, all right. ☺
ReplyDeleteThe yellow cucumbers look like pickling cucumbers. Bill used to grow them. Not only is he an excellent gardener, he is a gourmet pickler and chef. Seriously. It is his Hungarian roots.
They tasted just like regular ones! Bill is amazing!
DeleteI can't wait to read A Window Opens....love that expression, too: "one door closes, a window opens."
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!
Super cute kitties! Yellow cucumbers? Amazing! :)
