The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Famous Writers (And Their Muses): A Novel | Terri-Lynne DeFino

My Monday morning plans. I've been reading through this one off and on for a few months. I'm determined to finish it today. Drinking coffee from the mug my daughter gave me yesterday. ☕️📖

Prairiegirl_reading I disagree but I love it! Lol 3y

Traci1 @Prairiegirl_reading it made me think of my copy of The Stand. I've read it so many times that it's literally got tape holding some pages in place. 😄 3y

Prairiegirl_reading People laugh at me because I‘m careful not to crack spines! I like to keep my books pristine! I did have a copy of the outsiders that fell apart because I read it so much but it was replaced by the 50th anniversary edition a few years ago. 3y

Yuki_Onna @Traci1 @Prairiegirl_reading Same here! 😊 In my teens my books were torn, highlighted and battered - but sometime I suddenly couldn't stand the look of shelves full of battered, well-read books anymore...
Now my books need to stay pristine.
The look of the book doesn't say anything about the passion with which it was read in my case... 😉 3y

July was another excellent book month. Honorable mentions Sparks Like Stars, We Begin at the End, and There's a Hole in My Bucket.
The tagged book was so nostalgic and sad and funny and happy. I loved it

Andrew65 What a great cover. 3y

I enjoyed this one. It just worked for me. Enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the collaboration story within a story. Will definitely look for more of DeFino‘s books.

marleed This sounds so good. And can any see the words ‘Bar Harbor‘ and read them without a Boston accent!? 4y

SW-T @marleed Think the Boston accent is required. 😂 4y

Y'all, this book. There were no fantastic plot twists, which I usually love, but this is just a beautiful, beautiful book. Beautiful story, beautiful writing, beautifully evoked setting. Love, love, love.
