So my normal bookclub which took place yesterday had to read a Kate Atkinson. I just feel she‘s way above me. We read another book by her and I didn‘t know how to feel. A guy next to me might as well have given his doctoral thesis on it and I just sat there thinking-am I stupid? So instead of reading another Atkinson I went with this book for a mashed up horror scifi group. I didn‘t care for it or the bookclub. The grass isn‘t always greener 👇🏼
Reggie on the other side, Litsy. The book was meh. 2w

MommyWantsToReadHerBook "his doctoral thesis" ???? A God in Ruins has quite a lot going on, if I remember. But talking a lot doesn't equal intelligence or understanding ? 2w

Reggie @AmyG @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @julesG There‘s this woman in the group. She‘s a 70 something brassy broad in a wheelchair and I love her. Her name‘s Dolores. When that guy was done she tells him, that‘s all and well honey but the author still has to tell a story. She hadn‘t liked it either. She made me feel better. 2w
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Reggie that's awesome 😂😂😂😂😂 2w
Centique Theres no way Atkinson is above you Reggie! I find her hit and miss for my tastes. I loved Life After Life but bailed on A God in Ruins. And other people hated Life After Life 😜 I think people have very different reactions to her books 👍 2w
Centique Dolores sounds awesome! 2w
vivastory The only Atkinson that I have read is the first in her Brodie series: Case Histories. I liked it, wouldn't say I LOVED it. Have you read other Fracassi because I'd be shocked if you disliked Boys In the Valley 1w
Reggie @Centique Dolores is awesome. She tells it like it is. Her and I don‘t always agree but I like her so much. 1w
Reggie @vivastory I liked Boys in the Valley. I liked Gothic. I loved A Child Alone with Strangers. And I liked 2 books of his short stories I have read. This book, not good. But the girl leading the book group- her favorite author of all time. (Insert my eyeroll here.) 1w
