DebinHawaii …My favorites of the month were The Frozen River, Nettle and Bone, Kills Well With Others, Not That Bad, All Systems Read & Pride and Prejudice (reread for the zillionth time) & The Great Gatsby (hadn‘t read since high school) was a surprise winner. Lots of series books too—including both the 1940 & 1976 versions of our monthly Nancy Drew title. (edited) 2d

My March reading wrap-up… Two that aren‘t pictured: Letter From New York by Hanff and Maus by Spiegleman. It was a very epistolary and bookish month. I read a middle grade, a mystery, and one by an Irish author. I‘m looking forward to diving into April now!

Butterfinger

March | Geraldine Brooks

pick

This book was brilliant. The writing was beautiful and evocative. Loving Little Women and Louisa May Alcott, I know the father was based on Bronson, the Transcendentalist, who created utopian settlements that failed. Ms. Brooks seamlessly entwined the two figures into one. Maybe, even better than Miss Alcott, who only wished to make him properly proud of her. Ms. Brooks made him real,with desires and dreams. Marmee's character was also perfect. 👇

Butterfinger In Little Women, Marmee was written as almost perfect, except for a scene where she tells Jo about her horrid temper. Brooks fabricated several times of Marmee's righteous anger, and each time she exploded was brilliant. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I loved this book. The answer to Little Women that I always wanted. 1mo

Butterfinger @Bookwormjillk do you think there was a relationship between Thoreau and Emerson's wife? I have always been fascinated by these three men. And Hawthorne. One day, I will visit Concord. 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Butterfinger I wouldn‘t be surprised. Concord is worth the visit! I grew up near there and love the walk around the pond. 1mo

Daisey This book has been on my TBR a long time, but I never seem to get to it. I visited Concord a few years ago and had a full day of literary tourism. I probably could have easily spent a few days. 1mo

Here are my picks for March #ReadYourEbooks. Hopefully I do better this month than I had been. I have a goal to read one Percival Everett book each month this year, so I‘m happy to see Telephone pop up to fulfill that goal. @CBee

CBee I really liked Telephone! 1mo

tpixie @DebinHawaii I just finished what may end up being one of my favorite reads for 2025- although it‘s a little early for that. Great writing, a strong, remarkable woman, & a wonderful marriage

The Frozen River: A Novel

I‘ve been focusing a lot on my physical books lately and neglecting my ebooks a bit, so I‘m glad I managed to read one of my #ReadYourEbooks in March. I don‘t see myself sneaking another in before the numbers are drawn, so here‘s my list!
