Memoirs of Hadrian | Marguerite Yourcenar, Grace Frick
post image

For the letter "G" I have only read four books that fit the categories:

Memoirs of Hadrian -- based on historical event
A Dance to the Music of Time, 2nd Movement -- 400+ pages
A total cheat here, combining Hillbilly Elegy (memoir) and Modern Romance (person of color) because I don't read enough nonfiction to hit these categories without advance planning
Homegoing -- written by a woman of color

ValerieAndBooks How did you like Memoirs of Hadrian? Have this and Revolutionary Road (Yates) in my TBR and trying to decide which will be my Letter Y author for #LitsyAtoZ. 7y
Liz_M MoH is a brilliant book and remarkable achievement. For me it was a slow ponderous book with some beautiful language. A book I admire but not exactly one I enjoyed reading. 7y
Liz_M And I forgot to tag @ValerieAndBooks in my comment above. #morecoffeeneeded 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes Weird, there are a few discrepancies between this and the version of the challenge that I have... 7y
ValerieAndBooks Good to know! Which one I‘ll pick up will probably depend on how much time I have left to finish the challenge when I get to Y. But will get to it either way! 7y
Liz_M @Natasha.C.Barnes Since I missed nine months of adjusting my reading to fit the Bingo card, I adjusted a couple of categories to fit my reading O:) 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes Oh, that makes sense! Sounds good! 7y
