I just finished THE DOOR by Magda Szabó for the journey with @rebeccamakkai #AroundTheWorldIn84Books. I'm still picking my jaw up from the ground. What a marvel of a novel.

Book # 3 of 2023: AEROGRAMMES by Tania James. So grateful to @rebeccamakkai for introducing me to @taniajam's work. "My mother had been the only religious one in the family. She died when I was ten, and I was pretty sure that no one had been praying for us since." https://t.co/MJt7SI6Ctf https://t.co/peA5MdE2fT

@ErikaSwyler One of my fave books for YEARS was Anne Tyler's Ladder of Years where a woman just walks off from family beach trip and starts a new life. She bought 3 sweaters.

Somebody to Love: The Story of Valerie June's Sweet Little Baby Banjolele

Valerie June Hockett

@rebeccamakkai Okay, so she encompasses a number of genres, but country is definitely in there. If you haven't listened to VALERIE JUNE, she is AMAZING. Her connection to creative spark is unlike any other human on this planet. (Maybe my favorite song is Somebody to Love.)

@miciahbay An oldie but a goodie, Bel Canto by Ann Patchett is brimming with chemistry/sexual tension (among other tensions).
