Next up for my movie/bookclub. I was surprised there was a 6-week hold for the ebook across my 3 library cards.

5feet.of.fury #withthebanned is reading this one this month! I‘m reading it right now too. I‘ve never read or watched it before. 9h

Anyone else listening to songs mentioned?

#WithTheBanned @Jadams89

Andrea313 I definitely made a mix CD of all the songs mentioned in this book when I read it decades ago. ? Suzanne Vega's "Gypsy" became a longtime favorite. 21h

#BookReport

Only 2 finished last week. I read the tagged book after seeing it recommended on a Parnassus Books video. It sounds like it is a much loved coming of age story. I did enjoy it but didn‘t love it.

I also enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice continuation by McLeod.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading this because of that video too! I am only a third of the way in and agree with you, it is okay. 1d
monalyisha I‘m part of the “much-love” camp! 1d
ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha did you read it as a youngster? I have this theory on books like this. I feel like if I had read this in my teens/20s I would have gotten so much more out of it. 1d
monalyisha Hmm…late 20‘s. I think I was 27. I was thoroughly charmed. I thought it was quirky and cozy, with a strong setting and thoughtful spiritual ruminations. The movie, on the other hand? Blech. 1d

Another example of don‘t judge a book by its cover. It didn‘t appeal to me because the cover looked so serious but I had read all of the other BOM book of the year finalists so got this one free! History, love, hardship and friendship. Really enjoyed it!

1) I went to Catholic schools K-12 and I was an average student. I did better in college and graduated summa cum laude from Colorado State University.

2) I tagged my favorite book and I am wondering if it counts because Holden technically just got kicked out of high school.
