A Time to Be Born | 
Why have I not read Dawn Powell before?
I'm hoping to get some reading time this weekend to make progress on these three books. A Time to Be Born goes back to the library in about 2.5 hours. It's been a slog for me, so I'm looking to just skim these last 2 chapters for #192025 challenge. Then I have the next section of Kill Her Twice for the #sundaybuddyread and whatever time is left will be put towards the #europacollective read for the month.

pickWhat a weird and wild little book this was. Absolutely not something I would have picked up on my own, but I surprisingly enjoyed it. Following a group of people in 1930s New York and their drama filled lives. Very much of its time yet quite relevant still. Read for #sundaybuddyread
panI tried to like this book more, but in the end, I didn't really care much for it. The drama of people trying to social climb and betraying one another did not attract me. I was not fond of the characters, though the setting was interesting. And the ending was kind of a letdown for me. If this was not a buddy read, I would have DNFed the book a while ago.
pickA novel full of despicable characters, fabulous NYC landscape, classism, sexism, pre-WWII America. One redeeming character, trying her best to survive in a chaotic world driven by her relationship with the narcissist Amanda Keller.Satire & snark provide scenes of hilarity. The novel made me laugh, but also angry at times.This is a little gem of escapism in today‘s trying times. #sundaybuddyread
