I feel like I‘m posting the same review as most on this #independentwomen buddyread.

There were parts I liked and a good chunk when I thought about bailing. “Uneven” is the description I‘ve seen of the writing and I have to agree. But the ending saved it for me. I‘m glad I finished it. Not quite a pick still. Looking forward to the discussion on the 3rd.

Sietje‘s tongue sticking out in her sleep felt appropriate 😆🐕. #SleepySietje

Soubhiville @BarbaraBB yes! My father in law was Dutch. Sietje was my husband‘s grandmother‘s name, and since we didn‘t have kids we named our dog for her. 2y
BarbaraBB That‘s so nice! Sietje is an old-fashioned Dutch name, it is good to come across it again 🤍 2y

It‘s chilly outside, but the sun is shining and reading in the sunspot is cozy.

I didn‘t dislike this book read for #naturalitsy, but I was disappointed that a lot of it wasn‘t actually about seahorses. Instead it felt like it was reaching, going into ancient artworks, traditional Chinese medicine, and the aquarium trade in order to flesh out the book. While seahorses did eventually work into each of those topics, focus lacked.

dabbe Sweet Sietje!!! ❣️🐾❣️ 2y
Hooked_on_books I completely agree! Some good info, but ultimately not what I was hoping it would be. Hi Sietje! 👋 2y

I love this series so much.

This one is a stand alone, though we get a few glimpses of other characters and worlds you‘ll recognize if you‘ve read the whole series.

I wish it wouldn‘t be another year before the next Door appears!

I realized this morning how many series I‘m looking forward to continuing with this year, so I‘m joining #SeriesLove2023. 😁📚💕

Andrew65 Well done. That is the frustrating thing when you are up to date on a series, a long wait for the next one. 👏👏👏 Great to have you join us, it has already given me great fun this year. (edited) 2y

Nothing to See Here | Kevin Wilson

Pickpick

This book sounds so strange going in that I wasn‘t sure I‘d like it. But Kevin Wilson hasn‘t failed me yet.

Lillian takes a job an old friend offers her as a nanny for two twins who just lost their mom. The kids have a strange problem though- when they get upset or agitated they catch on fire.

I loved these characters so much, I kind of didn‘t want the book to end.

Oh William!: A Novel | Elizabeth Strout

Mehso-so

I have mixed feelings about Lucy Barton. Sometimes she has thoughts that feel profound and beautiful. But sometimes she feels petty or mean, and I really don‘t like her.

Really I think that‘s pretty genius of Elizabeth Strout. She has written Lucy in such an honest way, not hiding flaws, letting you feel all of her emotions even if they‘re uncomfortable.

Overall though, I didn‘t enjoy this. I had to push to finish.
