pickA special novel. It had me breaking down life in all its moments—from the mundane and boring to the extraordinary, and the strange, beautiful tie between these.
This novel is modern, artsy, thoughtful, and it‘ll get gut wrenching out of nowhere; kind of a slow burn but I‘m really enjoying it. It‘d make for a cool television series. I‘d watch that.
pickThis was an honest look into the life of a woman who suffers from insecurities while in college, then into a relationship, into marriage and ultimately into her family. Clearly Casale knows how to write. Some chapters were extraordinarily brilliant, and then sometimes I was thinking how I didn‘t like the main character. It felt a little disjointed at times but overall ended very beautifully.
Post-Christmas treat. I‘ve been saving this one.
I had to put this down to go to my husband‘s company Christmas party tonight. I‘d have preferred to stay on the couch and read since I don‘t much enjoy parties.
pickI absolutely loved this book. I loved the writing, I loved the story, I loved the collection of moments that make a life. It was honest and sometimes painful and uncomfortable and often moving. What a lovely surprise.
bailedNot for me. Nothing about this book was appealing or interesting to me. Moving on.
“For the most part she lived her life thinking of herself as a person, Leda. But then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, out of the cold harsh common dregs of patriarchy, some man would jump up and remind her she was in fact not a person at all but a woman.”
I‘ve already made some sort of loud honk/laugh sound three times while reading this book, and I‘m only on page 18. I think we‘re going to have fun together, book and I.
There‘s something about a cup of tea that makes everything seem better. ☕️ 🍵

@DeweysReadathon won‘t be able to read for the whole 24 hours but I‘m hoping to finish both of these and maybe even get in 12in24. Here we go! #reversereadathon #deweysjuly #readathon @DeweysReadathon
Starting this one just now ♥️ I‘ve seen a LOT of mixed reviews, so if you‘ve read it I‘d love to know what you thought ♥️
It‘s a blustery day but I got to be out in the boat in the place of my heart. The tagged book is the one I‘m likely to still be reading when I fly home tomorrow.
Second panel for the day!! #bayareabookfestival
pick3.5 stars. This started off so strangely but I kept reading out of pure curiosity. I‘m glad I did! It is the inner thoughts of one woman from college through all life‘s major events. At times it seemed to turn into stream of consciousness which felt forced and odd but there were instances of insight that struck a chord. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley.
