#savvysettings #airplane The Berry family doesn‘t believe in all flying together on the same plane. Actually,I don‘t want to talk about it , you will have to read the book.Sorrow floats .
I'm a fan of John Irving, this is another lovely, loopy and lewd read from him. 🤪

1. The Pillars of the Earth, which I'm currently chipping away at, was an impromptu gift from a friend.
2. We gave our daughter Priory of the Orange Tree and the Arc of a Scythe series for Christmas.
3. Tagged - definitely an unusual love story at the center of that one

“Sorrow floats”
An all time favorite, many trigger warnings.
Maybe not John Irving's best book (I would say either Garp or Owen Meany), but it will always be my favorite. I received an old, crumpled mass-market paperback copy from a friend in college as a gift, who said it was her favorite book of all time. Never having read anything by Irving before, I had no idea what awaited me when I cracked the cover. Recently reread after 20 years and love it as much as the first time. "Keep passing the open windows!"

Have you been tagged yet @thebluestocking ?
Traveling for work, killing time with a $3 copy of THNH 🐻🏨🏍🇦🇹John Irving has been my favorite author since high school. His use of irony is (in my novice opinion) better than anyone else, his characters are lovable yet always have the most interesting defining traits, and he tends to leave you wondering about the influence of fate and the supernatural on his hum-drum families (I see that too in Owen Meany, Ave of Mysteries, etc)
Still on my TBR, but Irving doesn‘t usually disappoint. #hotel #letstravelaugust @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

#stateintitle #readingresolutions If you follow my posts you had to see this coming.😂”keep passing the open windows .”
Cold, rainy day. Perfect chance to curl up and finish this book! I wished I had finished in time for book club but everyone kept hush about the last 100 pages that I hadn‘t read. It was soooo good! What a dysfunctional family. All throughout the story, I had a WTF reaction to all the craziness. Definitely a unique story. 😳
Morning snuggles! Still chugging along. Book club is in 3 hours. Sad I won‘t finish in time but looking forward to discussing it anyway. I should be 3/4 of the way through. #dogsoflitsy
Not going to finish this before book club tomorrow afternoon but I am going to enjoy my new patio and some gorgeous 70 degree weather to kick off November!

This is odd as i googled images of hotel new Hampshire and realised its a john irving based film ive not seen. I love JI and each book triggers memories of when and where i was when i read them, this was a post uni course in Chester.
This was definitely tainted love between 2 siblings. The question i have is whether to reread or not, i always worry abt rereading fave books.
@Liberty the weirdest is difficult. For wacky characters, I love John Irving and Neil Gaiman, but the weird descriptions of the ghosts in Lincoln in the Bardo keep coming back to me. #COMEONEILEEN
You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
Rushing out the door to the airport, but wanted to get in a quick post for #septphotochallenge This is the first John Irving I read and it has stayed with me always. A wonderful story with memorable characters and led me directly to love so many more John Irving novels. #MadeMeCry #somethingforsept
What I remember most about this book is the bear. I don't remember when I read this but I think I was too young for it.
