P.S. I Still Love You

PS-ISLY

I was hedging on whether I would read this book or not, but I’ve been seeing violent reactions reviews on my feed and curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to bump it up my TBR this weekend.

“P.S. I Still Love You” is the sequel to Jenny Han’s “To All the Boys I Loved Before,” which I thought was pretty charming. In this sequel, Lara Jean has a boyfriend (DON’T read after the cut if you don’t want spoilers!), and she finds out being in a relationship is not as simple as she thought it would be.

More Hemingway

Hey hey! Apologies for being away for a couple of weeks — things have only just started calming down in my world, following several events at work, my sister coming home for a week-long visit, and two of our pets getting sick (and on a strict medication and diet schedule for the next month or so).

May 11 is the birthday of Salvador Dali (b. 1904), so I decided to crack open an art book I got from last year’s MIBF: This is Dali, a biography of the famous Surrealist by art historian Catherine Ingram, illustrated by Andrew Rae.

I like Dali’s bizarre art, and I was drawn the graphic approach to this series (the Artists Monographs by Laurence King Publishing), plus it came with a lovely totebag (that still draws compliments wherever I go) so getting the book was a no-brainer.

Literary Listography

I love lists, and I love bookish lists even more, so I’m a sitting duck for books like this one: “Literary Listography: My Reading Life in Lists,” which was an impulse buy (ooh, shiny!) at the bookstore. I’m filing this under shelf candy, or books that will look good on my bookshelves.

The Listography books (by one of my all-time favorite publishers, Chronicle Books) are a set of list-making journals by the website listography.com. There are Listography books for various interests (music, travel, food, film, parenthood, friends, love, etc), and for bookish folk, there’s “Literary Listography.”
