pickI didn‘t love this as much as Big Stone Gap, but I did enjoy it. It almost felt a little bit like a prologue to Demon Copperhead in a way. The mines are closing but the opioid epidemic hadn‘t set in for SW Virginia yet. #Backlistreadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
First night on the porch this year. Reading the tagged and listening to the Red Sox.
so-soIt was ok. Not as good as the first one, in my opinion, particularly the first half. It picked up a bit in the second half, but I was annoyed with both Jack and Ave for much of the book. I am undecided on whether or not I‘ll read the 3rd book... I probably will.
I read the first book in the series a couple years ago and found it charming, but I just couldn‘t get into this one AT ALL. The whole vibe of it‘s always the wife‘s fault if the husband cheats just bugged me immensely. So I‘m bailing on the rest of the #series too. OTOH in 2019 I read 43 books that were part of a series, including two complete trilogies and finishing off two long standing stories. ⬇️
pickEasy, enjoyable read.
Rainy day reading
For the #gold prompt, I give you my mom's old set of Little House on the Prairie books, HP & the Cursed Child (like we didn't see it coming), Tales of Beetle the Bard (slightly brown but meh, and also, DUH), Big Cherry Holler, and the Thirteenth Tale. Honorable mention bc I can't put hands on it atm is my copy of HP & the Deathly Hallows. #MagicalMarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickI loved this book. I really love the characters in this series, and this second book in the Big Stone Gap series did not disappoint. Trigiani stays true to her characters and her descriptions of Italy make me visualize the town they are in. This book is the perfect summer read!
Mid-morning coffee and spending some time with the characters in this book series that I have come to love.
