Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays and Book Date’s It’s Monday What are YOU Reading?
Friday is modeling with the library books I am currently reading.
- Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life by Alan Cumming is the author’s second memoir. I enjoyed the first and although I am only a few chapters into this one, I like it.
- Bomb Shelter: Love, Time and Other Explosives by Mary Laura Philpott is a memoir composed of several essays. It does center around something that happens to her son that changes her world.
- Dillie the Deer: A True Story of Love, Healing and Family by Melanie Butera came out in 2014 and I have no idea why it took me so long to read it. It is a very sweet story, and I am only a few chapters in, but it didn’t make me cry which is always a plus.
Penny may be posting tomorrow, if not, Rosie has been taking notes on the family gossip.
The books sound interesting, Ellen, and I think Friday likes them too! XO
Yes, she does. XO
I love literary cats. Good job, Friday!
Friday thanks you. 🙂 XO
I think all are interesting stories. Currently I am reading a short story book ” Love of Rain” by Pritilata Nandi.
That sounds good.
☺️☺️🙏🏻
We, too, often cry over books! But these days, mama cries almost always over beauty. Starved for normality, I say. And mama is on the next to last Poirot book. Interesting title, the explosive one….
That is an interesting title. XO
I bet I would like the deer story, too.
Yes, she would. 🙂 XO

That sounds like a book my hubby would love. He is big on sci-fi. He likes post-apocalyptic stuff too- not me though. 🙂 I will stick to memoirs and self-help. XO
Yay for library books. Bomb Shelter sounds interesting. I want to try her essays at some point.
I think you will enjoy them. 🙂
Friday, you sure do make a cute library assistant!
Yes, she does. 🙂
Ooh I need to check out the deer book!
You will enjoy it. 🙂
It’s nice that Friday takes an interest in things, even your reading. It sounds like you found some great ones, another reason to love our libraries.
I could never afford to buy all the books I read. 🙂
We are reading The Girl Who Survived by Lisa Jackson, we are about half way through and have found it entertaining so far. We just finished Dean Koontz’s latest book The Big Dark Sky and give it 5 paws.
Dean Koontz is too scary for me. 🙂 XO
Thanks for the book ideas. Friday you did a great job showing the books.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
We are reading FESTERGRIMM, by Thomas Taylor. Awesome MG read with rollercoaster monsters and gratuitous dunking of biscuits and the like. Great villain too.
ERin
That sounds good. 🙂 XO
Hello Friday! Dillie the Deer sounds like a book I would like. I am not reading anything now but blogs. Good to know Rosie is staying up to date on the family gossip… good girl Friday!
It is a good book. 🙂 XO
Charlee: “Our Dada is reading something called ‘American Elsewhere’ that he says is like H.P. Lovecraft meets Pleasantville.”
Lulu: “Pleasantville? Sounds like a nice place to live.”
Charlee: “Yeah in this case not so much, apparently …”
That sounds interesting. 🙂
