And suddenly, it’s April. Where did that time go? This Easter is very different to last year’s, with people everywhere at the shops and it’s even started to rain! Lucky I got out early and bought two books, with one received in the mail earlier in the week:
Emotional Female by Yumiko Kadota arrived (signed!) thanks to Penguin. This is Yumiko’s story of training and working to be a surgeon in a male-dominated field, where she was expected to be everything all the time. After long rosters and a lot of name calling, she quit to save herself and rebuild. (On a separate note, an excellent cover – medics all over will recognise the style).
A Patchwork Planet by Anne Tyler finds Barnaby on his own after the end of his marriage and being labelled a black sheep by his family. When Sophia enters his life, can all this change?
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles finds Count Rostov under house arrest in 1992 Moscow in an attic room of the Hotel Metropol. Stripped of luxury, his life just might be getting better…

The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton
Yumiko Kadota’s book sounds like a really interesting read, although it could also be quite intense I imagine! I hope you enjoy these books and that you had a lovely weekend 🙂 I hope you have a lovely week and do drop by my Monday post if you have the time! – Juli @ A Universe in Words
I love Anne Tyler’s books, so I might need to reread A Patchwork Planet. I love the cover on your version! Enjoy your week, and here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
Nice looking assortment of books. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Yay for getting out to the bookstore! All three of your new books sound different and are new to me.
Enjoy!
