The Ransoms are hoping to enjoy a summer they will never forget, and Lake House does not plan on disappointing them.

This was a good story. Original. I might have to check out other books by this author.

Hanna-B
Crossroads: A Novel | Jonathan Franzen
Mehso-so

It started well but it was unevenly paced and too long. Why are books not edited better these days?
The chapter devoted to describing Marion‘s descent into mental illness was way too much and too long again.
I feel that if it had been tidied up and condensed with a thorough editing it could have shone. But for me it just dragged on and by the end I was skipping pages. Glad it‘s over tbh.

The characters are so well drawn and I‘m totally hooked. Has anyone else loved this? Feels like a real return to form. #franzen #crossroads #booklover

CarolynM I really didn‘t like it, but I didn‘t like The Corrections either. 2y
Hanna-B @CarolynM interesting! I am enjoying it and loved Corrections 2y

Pet Sematary | Stephen King

This was a reread for me & one of my favorites. Louis and his family move into a new house that is by a busy road and a pet cemetery. The energy from the Pet Sematary uses the other to destroy the family. King himself wrote this book after living in a similar location 🐈‍⬛

Iden has the cutest "hiding" place. This corner is behind the couch, so she goes there to hide from the other cats. She's dragged three different toys over there, too.

Started this one a week ago. I was really invested at the start, but now I am finding it slow going. Mind you, I‘ve only been reading it for the last week and a half and am still not quite halfway through. We‘ll see how it goes.

I‘m here to ask Litsy for help: I seem to be at a crossroads. My job is inadequate, I‘m looking for work but have the impending recession looming over me now, my car needs 1000‘s of dollars or repairs to be safe to drive (I‘m lucky I have a good support system, so getting to my job won‘t be a problem). I‘m starting to see depression looming again. What books made a mark on you during a crossroads in your life? #help #crossroads #recommendations

TrishB I don‘t have any specific books. But when I feel so many different things getting on top of me I try and see which I can actually solve and try and plan something for those. Just having a plan helps me. I‘m not trying to be patronising as we all approach things differently I know. Hope you start to find some answers. 5y
Megabooks I‘ve had two years worth of issues in my life recently and read this three times 5y
TheBookDream @Megabooks thank you, I‘ll check it out 5y
TheBookDream @TrishB I‘ve been working on that too, but having trouble with the long term planning. Either way, it seems like leaving the weekend free of such activities has been helpful in getting perspective. Weekend for books and board games. Weekdays for life. 5y
TrishB I try not to do anything at least one day of the weekend for the same reason! 5y
