Herb's Pajamas

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! ;)

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!
