“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft in your fields. And until we meet again, may god hold to in the palm of his hand.” -Irish blessing • • • This book was a hilarious and heartfelt adventure I didn’t want to end. Set in 1960s Brooklyn, this narrative highlights the deep interconnectivity of urban communities and explores the ties that bind (or repel) us to our neighborhoods. When roots run deep, and collective memory fades, the past can suddenly reappear and cause chaos. This book is a reminder that we are all connected whether or not we realize it; our lives may be individual but our interactions are communal. People cross our path for a reason. Say hi to your neighbors, someone you find attractive, or an elderly person. You just might meet someone who will change your life forever. • • • #bookreview #booklover #bookstagram #deaconkingkong #jamesmcbride #bookworm #alwaysreading #read #book #booknerd #bibliophile #novel #2020 #oprahsbookclub #1960s #brooklyn #newyork #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #bookish #bookcommunity #bookcover #readthis #reading #readersofinstagram #reader #readmore #readingisfundamental https://www.instagram.com/p/CEY4GCxgsb_/?igshid=1gd6rwhli7rfi

Stay home. Stay Grounded. ⁣ ⁣ Thankful for a gorgeous Friday!! One of the great things about being hunkered down at home is that I’m discovering some really nice wines. Today was beautiful and I spent some much needed time outside away from television. I’m diving into #DeaconKingKong by #JamesMcBride this weekend. What are y’all reading this weekend? ⁣ ⁣ Many thanks to @riverheadbooks for the gifted book. ⁣ 📚🍷⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #spinesvines #booksandwine #caliwine #winelife #coverlove #californiawine #sauvignonblanc #groundedwineco #booksconnectus #fridayreads (at National Harbor, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QbhkBgDKA/?igshid=1mnrozwy27f9k
