Girl with a Pearl Earring | Tracy Chevalier

#two4Tuesday

1) As an attorney, I routinely have to deal with attorneys on the opposite side of my case. I hate it when I lose my temper with them because they are rude or lie or speak down to me because I‘m a woman. I wish I could keep my cool and often I can. But sometimes I just lose it. 🤬

2) Griet is 16 and a new maid to artist Vermeer‘s family. She‘s struggling with the job and wants to go home even though she does the same work there.

Butterfinger That is one of my red flags, too, Karen. I can't stand when a man is condescending or calls me honey to calm me down. 2d

TheSpineView So with you on #1! Thanks for playing 1d

wanderinglynn I feel your pain. Heaven forbid a woman project any emotion except subservient contentment. And if we do, then it‘s all “calm down”, “you‘re being irrational/hysterical/[insert patriarchal insult here]. 🤬 1d

The Lion Women of Tehran | Marjan Kamali

Excellent speaker tonight. If you enjoy hearing an author‘s perspective I encourage you to enjoy the Girlfriend‘s Bookclub on Facebook. It‘s fun to read the books and then see, or hear, behind the curtain. There are wonderful guest authors and compelling questions. I‘m impressed with what is offered in this group and it‘s free - and from my couch. The Lion Women of Tehran was an excellent and rich story of enduring friendship. 5 ⭐️

julieclair Thanks for the heads up. I have not heard of this! 2d

Wolf Hall | Hilary Mantel

Two books I‘ve been putting off reading merely because of their size … thinking of starting one today

TiredLibrarian I loved Wolf Hall. It did take a while to get into it because of the writing style, but that might just have been me. 2d

quietlycuriouskate I loved Wolf Hall, too. I've yet to read Lonesome Dove, but have heard only good things about it. 2d

Suet624 I‘ve read Lonesome Dove twice. So, so good. You can‘t go wrong by picking that up. 2d

Hooked_on_books I read Wolf Hall last year after putting it off for similar reasons. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next book. 2d

suvata I decided to go with Wolf Hall. Saving the best for last. 2d

CarolynM I didn‘t want to read Wolf Hall but my IRL book group chose it. I started reluctantly but it grabbed me by page 30 and I read it in 2 days. It‘s great. Enjoy. 1d

suvata @CarolynM that‘s good to know. I wasn‘t quite sure what I was getting myself into. 1d

The Miniaturist | Jessie Burton

so-so

That was...underwhelming. So little was actually revealed that I might even pick up the sequel in hope of getting some closure. The ending feels extremely open and after 400 pages I'd like something with more substance to it. On the bright side, there was a lot of Dutch history, food and culture depicted.

Have been eating Vla pudding all of last week since they come in 1l packs😂

BarbaraBB Cool that you‘ve been eating vla. It‘s still quite popular amongst children. I haven‘t eaten it in years! 2d

Lunakay @BarbaraBB I love all pudding-style desserts, but that's a favourite because it's such a lovely, light and creamy option🤩 And the duo is just amazing🤤 2d

Texreader This book was a thin pick for me. 2d

Catsandbooks Yum! ❤️ 15h
