#Fitz reads 📚 The Beautiful and Damned was the best out of the bunch. 🩷
pick78/150 An interesting look at one of the pivotal years in American history. While the author does stray from his subject at times, he does detailed work discussing the causes that led to monumental events of 1920, and also discusses the ramifications those events had on future generations. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2
3/15 for #Rushathon (I'm behind my pace) @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65
My read tonight
pickThe structure of this book was so interesting, with the four related novellas. I have always loved books within a book. I think the audiobook added to my enjoyment of the four stories, and the writing was a pleasure. I see why it made so many best of 2022 lists. Five stars. I‘d like to read other books by Hernan Diaz. #52bookclub2023 #roaring20s I haven‘t posted & tagged in awhile…I hope I got everyone for #52bookclub2023

pickTold from the perspective of Ernest Hemingway‘s first wife, Hadley Richardson, we get a glimpse into their early years & the world of a struggling writer in 1920‘s Europe. I enjoyed the setting & McLain really brings her characters to life including the Fitzgerald‘s as well as Gertrude Stein & Ezra Pound. A quick read - audio narration was FABULOUS. #52Books23 #Roaring20s🎶 Gratuitous hamantaschen - Purim Sameach 🥳

Fantasy is my favorite because it let's me be somewhere magical, a place that is open to the impossible!
For an enticing read its usually the cover art that does it for me.
