Celebrating Caturday on Monday with Kevin, my knitting and a painful, lovely audiobook.
Pumpkin spice latte and my book in the library - shall have a little browse of the newest books later, too.
I‘m on to Florence & Henry‘s part in this book. Loving it! #10beforetheend
pick2 parisian women 50 yrs apart experience different feelings abt maternity. Anna, in 2019, has had a miscarriage, a psychoanalyst, she finds solace in a neighbour's friendship. Florence, in 1972, wants a child, but her husband does not, + their affairs undermine their love. Touching upon love, loss, sexuality, and feminism the reader is drawn into a deep reflection on the nature + fragility of relationships. It is also a beautiful picture of paris
pickThank the goddesses I'd not planned much today.
I picked this up from the library Monday and finished it today. She's so sublimely brilliant at writing from the soul yet no saccharin or twee paragraphs to contend with.
Her use of characters and normal life is wonderful.
Close to tears throughout much of this novel.
pickChecking off another one from the “self-help” list I found. I actually thought this one had some really great information of how to keep love strong after the honeymoon. Focused to married couples, but I saw he has some others focused on singles, for teens and for giving love to kids. My only complaint is it seemed a bit antiquated with a lot of examples of stay-at-home wives ironing, cooking and cleaning for their hard working husbands.
pickLoved it! Nostalgic, romantic, melancholy, heartbreaking and somehow cozy all at once. All the feels and such a vibe. Started in print (lovely) but finished on audio on a long drive and the narrator was perfect. This is such a book lovers book. The reading list I made of stories and books and authors mentioned is endless. King writes so beautifully about ‘writers and lovers‘(pun intended.) I‘ll be thinking of Jordan and Yashi for quite some time.
pickI‘ve had a huge #bookhaul recently! Many library holds as well as the middle ones I picked up at a deep discount.
The only one I‘ve finished is the King (tagged). I desperately wanted to LOVE it, but the last section‘s emotional manipulation felt fake to me, which was disappointing after such a strong start. I‘m still in a rough recovery so YMMV. Still worth reading though! (It was 4⭐️ instead of 5⭐️.) Personal update ⬇️
pickThis was so so good! Sad and heart breaking at times it‘s a book about life, relationships, challenges, regrets and disappointments. It‘s short and sweet, and heavy and thought provoking all wrapped up in a one or two sitting read. Kinda perfect.
