Property Of: A Novel | Alice Hoffman
post image

I just finished The Book of Joan, and I have a lot of....thoughts about it. I‘d planned to start one of the new books I have on my #Kindle and come back to Property Of another time but I‘m still too much in Joan‘s world to make a decision, so #TeamAlice it is! #ihaveatleastfortyunreadbooksonmykindle #bibliophileproblems

lauren.lerner One of the things i love most about Alice Hoffman is her range. She really does have something for everyone, @Cinfhen. What‘s your favorite? 7y
Cinfhen I really like her historical fiction books loved DoveKeeper, Marriage of Opposites and 7y
lauren.lerner I loved all three of those too, @Cinfhen. I remember discussing The Museum of Extraordinary Things on my post about it last year! She really is just so amazing. #teamAlice 7y

Tianarose Loved this story so much! Amazing! 7y
Crazeedi This was a great book! I loved it! 7y
lauren.lerner I love this book!! #teamAlice 7y
DefLeppard I have this but haven't got around to it. I need 48 hours in my day just to make a dent in my TBR! 😔 7y
Cinfhen Missed this!! But NOT surprised!!!! 7y
MaGoose I bought this almost a month ago and haven't read it yet, either. @DefLeppard - I hear you - I probably won't get through a fraction of my TBR. 6y
DefLeppard @MaGoose I feel your pain. I am a quick reader and also an insomniac but still I cannot get through as many books as I would like. Plus it doesn't help I have soooo many books looking at me with disdain mentally shouting "pick me next." ?? 6y

The Red Garden | Alice Hoffman

Pickpick

Less a novel than it is a collection of interrelated short stories all taking place over almost 250 years in one small town in the Berkshires. This is the second Hoffman book I‘ve read in this style and I quite enjoy it because she does it so well. The book served as nice palate cleanser as well after the intensity of Killers of the Flower Moon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 • #teamAlice

It's a fact that Alice Hoffman never disappoints. While this #middlegrade tale about a 12yo girl called Twig & her life in a small town in Massachusetts isn't necessarily her strongest showing (my favorite #teamAlice #childrenslit remains the Green Heart duology), I can't deny what a lovely little book it is. Charming & beautifully written, full of the lovely prose you expect from Hoffman. Will definitely recommend to students.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

JillR Do you think this would be suitable for a 10 year old? (Sorry I'm UK so always get confused about middle grade age range 😳) Amazon says 12 and up but I often find their age recommendations way off... 7y
lauren.lerner I think it's absolutely appropriate for a 10yo, @JillR! I actually think it could be appropriate for 9yo and up, 8yo if it's a precocious reader (like I was and some of my students are.) 7y
JillR Great @lauren.lerner , thank you! 👍 7y
lauren.lerner You're welcome, @JillR! I hope your 10yo enjoys it!! 7y

From then on, I didn't cry when I was disappointed. I just stored up my hurts, as if they were a tower made of fallen stars, invisible to most people, but burning brightly inside of me.
