It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
Herb's Pajamas
7 journalers for this copy...
The slam of a bedroom door,
a kitchen window open
and the shuffle of feet going by.

This book has pulled on its funniest sweater before heading out into the Tag Game! :)
Looks like this will be a cute little book! ;)

But it's here. And I'm grateful for these pajamas :-)

I enjoyed other books by Abigail Thomas very much, but I never got to read this one.
It's now going to the winner of the "Non-EU book & local chocolate sweepstakes - round 2/ February 2022".
Congratulations! Have fun.

Thank you for this, never read anything by Abigail Thomas before I think. And I love salted caramel flavour so the chocolate looks yummy, too!

Quite a nice read! A bit too quick though, as I took it for travels but finished it long before the trip did... Had planned a Little Free Library release but, alas, the LFL was not where it was supposed to be, so this will continue its journey in some other way.

Travelling to a sweepstakes winner. Enjoy!
Fished out of my in-tray today together with two chocolate bars :-) Thank you!
Usually I am not that fond of short stories but I liked the writing style of these although they were a bit depressing... ;-)

Travels as part of the „First sentence“-VBB. Enjoy 🙂📚
Herb's Pajamas arrived safely in Delphi yesterday. New book/author to me, I'm curious : )Thank you dschinny (and everyone else)!
First Sentence: "Walter stands in front of the open icebox."
Loosely connected stories, more like snap-shots on the life of each different character rather than stories with specific plots. All stories are kind of sad, but the book somehow flows smoothly most of the time. I think Abigail Thomas' writting style is the strong asset of the book, rather than the themes or stories per se.Not something very memorable, but a book I found very decent to pass the time. And this is fine too, not everything has to be a literary masterpiece!

The book got itchy feet again and wants to continue its travels, so off to Scotalnd it goes along with a few other books. And then... Who knows?Good Luck little book and Don't forget to write your news from time to time!
This has arrived safely in Edinburgh for its next adventure. Watch this space!
I really liked this collection of groups of short stories. My favourite group was probably those about Edith. I really liked how she embraced life and was not afraid to look a bit ridiculous. Thanks for sharing. I plan to take this one to the next Edinburgh meet up.

Picked up at Old Gang Meetup - thank you!
Looks quirky and may well be just what I need instead of the Daphne du Maurier I've been trying to read.
