If this book hadn‘t been my local reading group‘s choice, I would have abandoned it early on. The blurb didn‘t really appeal to me. It‘s well written but I found it incredibly boring and so slow. Nothing really happened until the twist at the end. I skimmed a lot of it - too much animal gutting, midden & cathedral building, praying and copying of the Bible for my liking! I wouldn‘t eat a turnip from their vegetable patch, that‘s for sure! 💩🤢.

Starting this one tonight! Any thoughts?! One of the elephant ears I planted! 🐘🌱🐘

Soaked in symbolism and the most beautiful prose you can imagine, this lovely book is the opposite of a page-turner. It‘s a slow-down-and-savor, experience in all your senses kind of book. I loved it and wanted to highlight every other sentence. Highly recommend! Number13 for#24in2024 and my irl book club pick.

While this is still my least favorite of the Station Eleven “trilogy,” I enjoyed much more the second time around. #AuthorAMonth

Vincent works at a remote island hotel in her British Columbian hometown. When the hotel‘s owner visits, she sees an opportunity to leave and be his trophy wife. But he is a Madoff-based Ponzi schemer and his misdeeds have ripple affects throughout the lives of these characters.

Today's book buddy is about to set off on the train.

🩷 Theo, Pauline & The Pagode from The Porcelain Moon make a cameo in The Phoenix Crown!!! 🩷

A kind of low stakes Fleishman is in Trouble. The pages turn themselves.

Good Material is about a break-up. Except for the last chapter, it‘s from Andy‘s perspective. He‘s a struggling stand-up comedian in his mid-30‘s who‘s just been dumped. It‘s got real High Fidelity vibes. The last chapter grants the reader access into Jen‘s mind. I‘d never read Dolly Alderton before & almost *immediately* became a devotee. Her writing feels so natural. The way her characters think, OVERthink, speak & act is modern & true-to-life.

The backdrop is the 1906 earthquake and flames of San Francisco. Two women, wronged by the same villain, follow him, Henry Thornton, to France. Wanting to retrieve a valuable relic (and restore personal justice) they show up at a Paris costume ball to do just that.
