Priestdaddy: A Memoir | Patricia Lockwood

pick

Although it went on a bit too long to my taste I was utterly charmed by the Lockwood‘s. What a family! That father! I laughed out loud about the Catholic craziness, yet Patricia Lockwood writes so lovingly about all of them! Quite special! Thanks for the recommendation Cindy!

Cinfhen Oh yeah!!! It worked for so many challenges too!!! I agree, it‘s at a point where I‘m feeling, ENOUGH. But I too, have laughed out loud several times and I‘m charmed by the shenanigans. 3y

Megabooks Glad you enjoyed it!! Did you ever figure out the cover?? 🤔 3y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I have no clue. There is a cat in the book (Alice) but I wouldn‘t know why it should be on the cover, dressed like a man and surrounded by birds. Neither does the father look like a cat. 🤣 3y

An African Prayer Book | Desmond Tutu

pick

One of the fighters to end apartheid died this past December and I wanted to honor him by reading one of his books. Not to mention, it worked for many challenge prompts. This book includes prayers and poetry from all types of religion, including those that worship nature and ancestors. #Booked2022 #aboutreligion @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft #ReadingAfrica2022 #CongoBrazzaville #CongoKinshasa #Ethiopia #Ghana #Kenya

Rizzio: A Novella | Denise Mina

pick

Dark & Delicious and expertly narrated. On March 9, 1566 David Rizzio, personal secretary and friend of Mary,Queen of Scots is brutally murdered in a coup. This short novella puts you inside the royal palace as the crime unfolds. Using this for #Booked22 #AboutRoyalFamily would also work for #AboutReligion and #pop22 #OneSeatingRead Special shoutout to @TheKidUpstairs for putting this on my #ReadersRadar #Hoopla

TheKidUpstairs So glad you enjoyed! 3y

TrishB I love a bit of Mary! She led a very full and scandalous life 😁 3y

Cinfhen I think you‘d like this one @TrishB even if it‘s short 😉😘 3y

Cinfhen The audio narration was fabulous @TheKidUpstairs - I heard this is going to be part of a series of Scottish authors writing HF about Scotland‘s darker history 3y

TheKidUpstairs @Cinfhen ooh, I love the idea of this being a series. If other authors bring the same short, hyper-focused, intense "moment in time" feel. 3y

Cinfhen Me too @TheKidUpstairs !!!! 3y

Cortg Fantastic! I haven‘t even started my #pop22 challenge yet 😂 3y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Interesting!! 3y

Book Report: Publishing Strategies, Writing Tips, and 101 Literary Ideas for Aspiring Authors and Poets | Mark Shaw

Busy with work this week, so not so much reading time. Having said that, I‘ve also done more driving to meetings so listened to Passing and Church Ladies, both short but very good. I just started the new Moriarty on audio yesterday.

About halfway through Crossroads, which is a chunkster; loving it so far. Took me a while to get into the writing style of Little Reunions but I think I‘ve got it now! (Nearly halfway through)

Cinfhen

rockpools A good week, despite the work thing. Happy weekend Helen! 3y

MicheleinPhilly I loved Church Ladies. Am hoping to read Passing this coming week to participate in Netflix‘s book club. 3y

Cinfhen Loved Church Ladies too!!! All your books look wonderful, Helen!! I‘m using the Franzen for #Booked2022 #AboutReligion so I‘ll need to wait a bit longer and I‘m considering reading Passing for #Booked2022 #AdaptedForSmallScreen #SharingIdeas 3y

Cinfhen I didn‘t know Netflix‘s has a bookclub @MicheleinPhilly that‘s awesome 3y

squirrelbrain Passing was great @MicheleinPhilly @cinfhen (haven‘t got round to reviewing it yet). Much tighter than The Vanishing Half, and I gained a far greater understanding of passing. 3y

Megabooks Crossroads was fantastic! Glad you‘re enjoying it. 3y

vivastory Passing is hands down one of my favorites of the year. Such a powerful work 3y

MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen It was just announced recently. It seems like a lot of fun. https://www.netflixbookclub.com 3y

Cinfhen Thanks for sharing the link @MicheleinPhilly 😘😘 3y

BarbaraBB Great report!! 3y

MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen You‘re welcome. This type of thing is right up my alley as I‘m such a stickler about reading before viewing. Plus I just LOVE Uzo. 😘 3y

squirrelbrain Just looked up the Netflix book club @MicheleinPhilly - looks great! I‘ll definitely check it out in a couple of weeks‘ time. 3y
