Bel Canto | Ann Patchett

Pickpick

So....... read and wrote notes on this book for my #penpalsbychance book swap with @Amy-Laura ! Where do I start? It took me a while to process my feelings about this book, the hype is deserved, the writing is slow, gradual and builds to a massive crescendo. I‘m pretty sure I loved the book, or at least I loved how emotive it was. I wish the epilogue had not been added however, did not care for it. This book will stick with me though. #BelCanto

Cosyreader Glad you liked my first choice! Shame I didn‘t 😂 well, I did, for a while... 6y
Bronte_Chintz @Amy-Laura Honestly so conflicted about it, but I like that. I enjoy a book that‘ll leave me mulling it over for days. Great pick! 6y
Bronte_Chintz @Amy-Laura Also.... have you read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets if the Universe? Considering that for next pick? 6y
Cosyreader @Bronte_Chintz I haven‘t and I‘m so happy you want to pick that 🙌! I‘ve read his other one and it was great! 6y
Bronte_Chintz @Amy-Laura Brilliant! I‘ll do that one then! I‘m so looking forward to reading it I‘ve heard so many good things about it. 6y

So enjoying this book so far. I think doing it whilst reading someone else‘s notes and writing my own has made it even better! @Amy-Laura #penpalsbychance

Came home today to find
📚library hold for Legendary ready to pick up
📚#penpalsbychance parcel from @Bronte_Chintz
📚#jbuk postcard from @squirrelbrain 🤗💛 thank you so much!

@Bronte_Chintz - I realised I didn‘t do an intro like you did, and just went straight into the story 🤦‍♀️😂 oops!
@squirrelbrain - I love Agatha Christie! That was so thoughtful 😊 I need to get some stationery!

squirrelbrain I was stalking your lists so I could see how much you liked Agatha, hence why I chose that card! 6y
Bronte_Chintz Hahaha! I still feel that you totally smashed the first parcel. Yours was the much better way. I intend to take a picture of your wonderment today. I‘ve been poorly the last few days. 😭🤢# 6y
Cosyreader @squirrelbrain haha that‘s brilliant! You‘ve inspired me to get some funky postcards 😊 6y
Cosyreader @Bronte_Chintz oh no! Hope you feel better soon 💛 6y
Bronte_Chintz @Amy-Laura Much better thank you ducky! 6y
