I don't know how I feel about this. I was interested, touched, horrified, bored. It was too much war story for me, but I learned a lot. Overall, I liked the two MCs too much to DNF. Also, it gave me a whole new perspective on the cartoon Stop That Pigeon 😂

After a bit of a slow I had a hard time putting this down. Adoption has some shady ass roots thanks to Georgia Tann. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.

It was nice to hear Andy talk about his family instead of all the gossip and partying in his other two diaries.

As soon as I started this I remembered why I have zero memory of A Visit From The Goon Squad--I had no idea what the hell I had read. After 70 pages of an incoherent jumble of story elements I decided to #HailTheBail

My second DNF of the month and it's only the 3rd 😆 But that also means two more TBRs off the shelf so Yay!

TheBookgeekFrau @melissajayne It was hard to follow--the narrators changed, the time frame flip-flopped, and my attention just kept wondering. Not a relaxing weekend read lol 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe You know it, sista!! 1mo
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau 😂💜😂 1mo
melissajayne @TheBookgeekFrau that‘s how I exactly felt about the book as well; library book club members had those same thoughts as well. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @melissajayne Glad I cut my losses when I did! 1mo

Barely made through the intro without falling asleep! The writing style is not for me.

I loved that everyone found exactly the right book at exactly the right time. What felt like choppy story telling actually came together quite nicely, even if the end dragged a bit. Overall, a good story.

A memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.
