I finished The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry last night, and I loved it.
This book had...
• Delightful literary references.
• Scenes that moved back and forth between 1960 and 1939/1940
• Characters that I loved
• Descriptions of places that made me want to visit them.
• A resolution that I couldn’t guess

Currently bouncing back and forth between two different books, one hardcover and one digital book. I like them both, but I keep getting interrupted when I sit down and open The Secret Book of Flora Lea. For that reason, I’m further along in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

I've started reading The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry. I got the book as an add-on in my May Book of the Month Club box.

I love a good book about a book!

I started reading Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, which is my April Book of the Month. I chose it in part because the Sally main character who's a comedy writer made me think of Sally from the Dick Van Dyke show.

But 29 pages in, I'm not sure I like it.

For my March Book of the Month club selection, I picked The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty.

It’s a pirate fantasy that takes place on the Indian Ocean in the 14th century. And the author shares my first name. I’ve found that Shannons are usually amazing people.

Guy the #Cat loves spooky magic and #DarkAcademia so he was glad to see the new arrival from the #BookOfTheMonthClub. “Hell Bent” by #LeighBardugo is the sequel to her awesome novel “Ninth House.” Guy was also happy with the box the #book came in.

Who else does Book of the Month Club?

The January books are out, and I picked Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. It’s a historical fiction about the 1947 Partition of India.

When I watched the Ms Marvel series on Disney+, I was alarmed to discover that I knew nothing about the partition of India. The depiction in Ms Marvel was devastating.

@ElizabethLeeCo @deannaraybourn I got this from #bookofthemonthclub a while back - I haven't read it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. It sounds wonderful!!

Leonidas the #Cat was unable to fit inside the #BookOfTheMonthClub box, which his brother Guy has been systematically shredding as his latest art project.
