#groundedcoffeeco#Willimantic #summereading

Having breakfast at my favorite coffee shop! Have been tutoring a student,&this book is her summer reading pick. I have a so so reaction to this book. It interested me in the beginning,but about half way through it went downhill for me.For me a rather absurd,unrealistic ending,even for historical fiction! My student will be finished by Monday;curious to hear her reaction to the last part of the novel.

Cinfhen I liked this one! Ending surprised me but didn‘t take away from my reading enjoyment 6y
kspenmoll @Cinfhen My student likes it too! It did get good reviews! She told me that the book makes her reflect, make historical connections, & talk in her head- perfect! What you want in a reader.She had a unit on Puritan/ early colonial lit this past year. The writing & characters are well done;the quick plot changes just did not work for me,nor the ending. 6y
minkyb I‘m with @Cinfhen on this one. Your student sounds quite interesting! 6y
kspenmoll @minkyb She is wonderful! I am predicting she will be with you & @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen I‘m REALLY impressed with your student‘s assessment 6y

Delicious veggie wrap with potato salad. Finished this weeks reading; feeling like I want to read on... waiting for my son who started working today at the Willimantic Textile Museum. What an excuse to read! After he is done heading back to Hartford Hospital to get My husband to eye surgery later this afternoon. Need a little respite!

saresmoore Phew, that‘s a lot for one day! Hope you enjoy the brief rejuvenation. 6y

BookNAround I lived in Willimantic when I was in grad school. We were in the old armory building and our apartment was the one with the glassed in room on the roof. It‘s been a long time since I thought about that place! (edited) 6y
TrishB Hope all goes well. 6y
kspenmoll @BookNAround Some of the older buildings here are beautiful- the Old Courthouse, the Textile Museum Building, the Brewhouse. I plan to explore more next time I am here! 6y
kspenmoll @TrishB Thanks, he is not out of surgery yet. 😊 6y
kspenmoll @saresmoore Really my life is not usually this crazy! My son does not drive & CT has no public transportation that does double driving time.fantastic opportunity for me, so doing it. My husband was an unexpected complication! He is home now, surgery went well. 😀 6y
kspenmoll @saresmoore @CouronneDhiver @Cathythoughts @Pamwurtzler @Mitch @TrishB My husband is home, has to keep face down on donut pillow until he sees MD in the morning to maybe get bandage off. Thank you all! 6y
mcipher Willibrew!!! My favorite restaurant. ☺️ Hope things are calmer for you this evening and the husband is recovering well. Agree on public transit here, it‘s awful! 6y
ValerieAndBooks Best wishes for your son‘s job and husband‘s recovery! As for CT public transportation we recently had to buy a car for my daughter to get around at school 😟 Uber/Lyft was eating up about the same amount as a car payment would have! And older son had absolutely no problem getting around in Boston during his college years without a car. 6y
MemoirsForMe Congrats to your son and hope your husband is feeling better 💖💖💖 6y
Melissa_J I waited until today to start part two so that once I finish I can immediately move to part three without getting ahead 😊 6y
saresmoore Glad to hear he is recovering! Continued prayers for you all. ♥️ 6y
