1) Women Talking
2) Jojo Rabbit
3) The Favourite
Thanks for the tag, @dabbe ! #ThreeListThursday #TLT (on Friday)
Reading too many books at once so nothing gets finished quickly!
I'm enjoying The Idiot, but the ebook was taken back by the library so now I have to read the paperback, which'll take longer. I'm about halfway through HF for #RiseUpReads I finished TDoE for #Netherlands #FoodandLit. Ooft, what a book, what a surprise ending. I'm working through TSoAwM and forsee a Met Museum hunt in my future. Tagged book was for a global reading goal. #Bolivia
pickI am very impressed with this novel. Toews takes a topic that is bleak and weaves subtle colors through the somberness. The humor, deep philosophical thought, and strength of the characters carried me through the book and made me hopeful despite the horrific circumstances that set the narrative in motion. This is the kind of novel that will have me pondering life for quite awhile now that I‘m setting it down.
so-soVery interesting - it‘s a short read based on the true story of the rape and violation of over 100 women in a Mennonite colony . The book bases its story around the decision making and reasoning of the actions the women decide to take . So interesting rather than riveting I would say .

Well, you put me in an awkward position, but as you insist on only 3:
1. Boat to Bolivia by Martin Stephenson & the Daintees, not least because I've just got home from seeing Martin live & I'm filled with his love, warmth & gladsome humour 💖
2. Any David Bowie album, but let's say Young Americans for tonight - a heart full of plastic soul 🧡
3. Veedon Fleece by Van Morrison, because of its Celtic emotionality 💚
Part 3 of 3: My favorites from the 144 books I read (in no particular order). I don‘t include rereads. I‘d love to hear your favorites!
11) Shark Heart by Emily Habeck
12) Women Talking by Miriam Toews
13) The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
14) The Book of Delights by Ross Gay
15) Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry
bailedI can't stand the narrator and I'm not emotionally invested in this book.
pickBased on a true account of a group of Mennonite women who were repeatedly drugged and assaulted by men in their community. The entire book consists of the women discussing whether to leave the colony or stay and fight back. Thought provoking.
