Hey #throwbacklistthursday! Here with one of my favorite authors, Anthony Doerr. I was over the moon for All The Light We Cannot See, and he did it again with Cloud Cuckoo Land. I'll put up a real review soon, but for now...man, how does all of that come together in his brain and come out so flipping beautiful? I can't even handle it. I know some people don't feel the same way about his writing, and that's okay...we can find some way to peacefully coexist 😂.

Are you a Doerr fan?

I don't really ever read about a book by an author I don't know, decide based on the summary and reviews that I'd like it, then proceed to buy it on its (re)pub day (this one was first published in 1931). I'm more of a library girl! But this one...the synopsis, the reviews, the cover, the fact that it has my favorite month in the title...I just had to get it. Look how pretty 😍

Are you adding this one to your TBR?

THE FORTNIGHT IN SEPTEMBER by R.C. Sherriff Summary:
The Fortnight in September embodies the kind of mundane normality the men in the dug-out longed for – domestic life at 22 Corunna Road in Dulwich, the train journey via Clapham Junction to the south coast, the two weeks living in lodgings and going to the beach every day. The family’s only regret is leaving their garden where, we can imagine, because it is September the dahlias are at their fiery best: as they flash past in the train they get a glimpse of their back garden, where ‘a shaft of sunlight fell through the side passage and lit up the clump of white asters by the apple tree.’ This was what the First World War soldiers longed for; this, he imagined, was what he was fighting for and would return to (as in fact Sherriff did).

He had had the idea for his novel at Bognor Regis: watching the crowds go by, and wondering what their lives were like at home, he ‘began to feel the itch to take one of those families at random and build up an imaginary story of their annual holiday by the sea...I wanted to write about simple, uncomplicated people doing normal things.’

It feels like fall 😁🍁🍂 I got out my big cozy blue sweatshirt and it feels soooo nice. Fall is my favorite season, and it always feels so short here in Minnesota. We plunge into cold temps so fast! So definitely enjoying this while it lasts 😁. What's your favorite season?

Reading: What Passes as Love by Trisha R. Thomas (stay tuned for the book tour!)

Hey #throwbacklistthursday! Finally giving this a go thanks to @thelowreylibrary 🤗. LIFE AFTER LIFE by Kate Atkinson is unfortunately a book stuck on my TBR forever 🙈 but I really think I'm going to like it when I finally read it 😅😊.

Have you read any by this author?
