This post made me so jealous (lol) because :a. summer is fully HERE and we're already at 47 degrees everyday . b. Vietnam sounds so amazing and I cannot travel this year AT ALL (baby due in 2 months!)

I've been wanting to read unreasonable hospitality since I listened to Will Guidara on Adam Grant's podcast. I actually even bought the book and stashed it on my TBR ...you gave me the push to read it so may pick it up for my MAY read. My reading has been pretty slow this year because I'm just triggered so easily thanks to the pregnancy hormones (sigh) I finished reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's latest book Dream Count and that seems to have catapulted my reading again.

Ahhhh, unreasonable hospitality is great! I understand; after my pregnancy I haven’t been able to read any serial killer books or anything where children are harmed.

Wow, you were in Vietnam... I lived there for five years. It was a special time in my life and Ha Noi still is one of my favourite cities.
