Do you have an Instagram account? If so, do you only follow book folks?

Yes, I do. (It's @nickijmarkus for anyone interested.) I do follow a lot of bookish folk (book bloggers, book stores, authors, and publishers) on there, but not exclusively. I also follow actors, musicians, artists, and a few friends and family members.

Opening sentence:
I've always hated waiting, ever since I was a small girl.







From page 56:
When not in pursuit of Mr Williams, DB fielded the occasional phone call from what Nell had originally assumed was a wife or girlfriend, but eventually realised was in fact his mother.




My Current Read 
The Book of Ordinary People
Claire Varley

Three things different. Three things the same.

Meet Evangelia, a grieving souvlaki shop owner; Rik, a news hack haunted by his past; Nell, a lawyer who worries over her soul; and Ben, a young father desperate to measure up - four people who have everything and nothing to do with one another.

But each of their lives is about to be changed forever by Aida, a woman who never wanted their help, nor their sympathy. A woman with her own tale to tell...

  3. I can sympathize with that beginning! Patience isn't my particular virtue either.

  4. I'm so not a patient person, that beginning hit me! Sounds like a great book! Happy Canada day weekend, and happy early Independence day!

  9. Oh, you have an Instagram account? COOL! I'll go check it out! I can't promise to follow, though....I don't have an account myself, because of lack of time. If I did, though, I would DEFINITELY follow yours!!

    Your reading pick looks very interesting! And I LOVE that cover, too!! I'll take a closer look on Goodreads!

    Thanks for sharing! Thanks as well for commenting on my own BBH post!! <3 :)
