pick#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 November 2024 #AuthorAMonth At first I wasn‘t sure I liked this. I recognized the narrator as the same woman who narrates the Eve Dallas series, a buddy read from which I withdrew after the fourth book in the series. I had to work to get the Eve Dallas narration out of my head so I could enjoy the Garden Spells narration. I read a description of this book as “magical realism,” a genre I‘ve read that many (cont)⬇️
pick#10BeforeTheEnd I have been wanting to read this for so long, and I think I did the book a disservice by reading it now. It is pretty grim (focusing on the founding of Liberia, involving a lot of slavery talk). But it is also magical, the characters are vivid and the writing is crisp and the storytelling well done. It just didn't land well with me in my state of mind, I still recommend it.
On another note isn't the table runner I got beautiful?
pickI‘m not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn‘t it. Still, I liked it and was happy to read it at last for #authoramonth after having it on my TBR for a while. Interesting family story with a bit of magical realism.
Up next on audio…our November book club pick!

1. Stripes. I should wear them more I think.
2. I don‘t have any physical books from the library at the moment, but I have the tagged book and a couple others from Libby.

Thanks for the tag
pickI've had this on my bookshelf for awhile. I missed a pub quiz question about it so I bumped it to the front and read it. What was I thinking? This book is a treat from start to finish. Exotic, magical, cryptic, and yet so raw and earthy about how we feel about each other. Through feast and famine, life and death, this story rampages forward like a child exploring a toy store. Unpredictable, with Bradbury-like attention to the artful details.
Took #hyggehourreadathon outside this afternoon. Beautiful fall day for our walk. Rereading an old favorite despite the pile of books I‘m currently in the middle of.
