1. I filed mine on 30 March. A bit later than normal but this hasn‘t been a normal year.

2. Intriguing (I just started it and haven‘t gotten very far yet.)

Cheryl_Russell I read this book over a year ago and I‘m still thinking about it. 24h

3.5 Stars • Trust by Hernan Diaz is a Pulitzer-winning 2022 novel about wealth and perception in early 20th-century New York. Told through four perspectives—a fictional novel, a tycoon‘s memoir, a ghostwriter‘s account, and a secret journal—it follows financier Andrew Bevel and his wife, Mildred. Each section reframes their story, revealing Mildred as the true genius behind their fortune. The book explores truth, power and narrative unreliability.

I really enjoyed Trust, which is kind of Faulkner-lite. A meditation on money in/as fiction.

The author can certainly turn a beautiful phrase with philosophical musings. Not knowing the premise beforehand, I was really confused why the author went from one complete story to another. Obviously it all made sense at the third story when she explained the connection between Bonds and Bevel. It was cool that he ended with Mildred‘s actual diary, so we finally get to her truth. Ultimately, I didn‘t feel like the listen had all been worth it.

I went into this blind and I think that hurt my overall enjoyment. Reading what the author was playing with and emulating after the fact made me appreciate what he did but not while I was reading it. Also there are a lot of big vocab words that kind of took me out of the narrative. Abstruse anyone?

I listened to this one over audio. It was an interesting historical fiction book. It‘s several stories within a story. In the 1920‘s when many people in America were struggling financially, Benjamin Rask became incredibly wealthy. The story spans over many years. The story deals with mental illness, greed, corruption. It was a different story, it kept my attention while working on puzzles. I like historical fiction so it was a pick for me.

Boring-ass historical fiction about finance and mental health sadness and suffering. Made it 2/3 through hoping it'd get better
