This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
Off the book topic... Do you use a mouse pad? If so, what is on it?
My Answer:
I don't use a mousepad though I have seen some cute bookish ones that do appeal to me.
The Beginning:
My appointment was in an apartment building called Stewart House - a white brick high-rise on Tenth Street, near Broadway, built in the sixties.
My Thoughts:
Not the most exciting though I do like the level of descriptiveness.
The 56:
Olive may never have ventured down to my territory. Back then, middle-class women avoided going south of Eight Street.
My Thoughts:
I like that the character in present day is putting the character from 1908 into context. I like the comparison of then and now.
So what do you think? Keep reading?
I read this book and have to admit that I loved it. I am a sucker for this time period though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI love this time period a lot. I'm old school and still use a Spongebob mousepad(lol) Hugs and Happy Friday! RO
ReplyDeleteThe book looks good and I do have a mousepad - it's the every popular Dell one that came with old desktop computer. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading. Dual story lines are fun for me.

I don't use a mouse pad anymore but we had one with our wedding picture. I love a dual timeline book - keep reading!
ReplyDeleteThe beginning is matter-of-fact sounding, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteIronically, my cat destroyed my mousepad and I haven't replaced it.
This does sound like a good story. I've read and enjoyed a few lately with dual timelines. I do my computing on a laptop which doesn't have a mouse. Thus no need for a mousepad. I'm spotlighting Lake Silence by Anne Bishop - her latest set in the world of The Others. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the setting...and can almost see it. I also enjoy dual time lines. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI used to have cute mouse pads...now mine has an elevated section to help with carpal tunnel syndrome.
I definitely also want a cute bookish one! Maybe one day when I have a desktop :) happy reading and have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy Book Blogger Hop!
Sounds good to me! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would get a bookish mouse pad if I decide to get one. Unless comic books count as a bookish thing? If so, I would totally get a Sailor Moon mouse pad!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog this week. :)
I use a mouse pad. It's an old pad from GE Healthcare, where my mother used to work. It says, "Our purpose: At work for a healthier world. Our strategy: Healthy Imagination." My BBH http://poemsbyayoungartist.blogspot.com/2018/03/bookbloggerhop-march-2-8-random-q-whats.html
ReplyDeleteUsually, I like stories that have dual timelines, and this one looks interesting. Enjoy your current read!
ReplyDeleteThis book is on my TBR list. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I really like dual timeline stories. Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting, and the 56 does make me curious. I don't use a mouse pad either.
ReplyDeleteBooks with a dual timeline are so interesting! This sounds like one that I would really enjoy. I hope that you love it. :)

Hope you'll continue to enjoy your new read.
ReplyDeleteKeep reading if only for the fun-sounding dual timelines! :)
ReplyDeleteDual timelines can be really interesting. Hope you enjoy and have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooooo...I never saw a bookish one. Sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Yes, keep reading. I LOVE time slip novels.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds interesting. I think I'd definitely keep reading. Have a great weekend. - Katie
ReplyDeleteI don't use a mouse, so not mouse pad! XD
ReplyDeleteI use an envelope below my mouse. Does it considered as a mouse pad?
ReplyDeleteDual time line is an interesting concept!
I like stories with dual timelines, especially if they end up weaving together in a clever way. The opening lies don't really grab me though, so I'd be interested to know how this one turns out. I haven't seen any bookish mouse mats, I'll have to have a look.
ReplyDeleteKeep reading, definitely! I love dual timeline stories, the comparisons in them that is inevitable between to eras. Thank you for visiting my blog, have a nice weekend, Katherine! :)

I have a Twilight mouse pad. I haven't heard of this book but hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThere are some cute mousepads out there but nope here, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, bookish mouse pads can be a LOT of FUN!! I know from my own experience with my Twilight ones!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThe book you've picked for the other Friday memes sounds GREAT! I LOVE dual timelines in novels!! I'm going to add it to my GR shelves!! :) :)
Thanks for sharing! Thanks as well for commenting on my won BBH post!! HUGS!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
I use one but it's nothing special, it's something about Diddl, my aunt gifted it a very long time ago
ReplyDeleteA bookish mousepad would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have a kitten sleeping on a tree branch on my my mouse pad. :-) I haven't mastered my touch pad and prefer to use my mouse. It's a bit of a hassle as I'm always dropping my mouse. And I really should just learn to use the touch pad . . . Astor Place Vintage sounds good. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI don't use mousepads. I love the look Astor Place Vintage. I haven't read hardly any books with dual timelines. It sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteMe too I seen quite a lot of cute mousepad that I really want, but I don't buy it because I am really scare I will lose the mousepad as well. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog hop last week.
