The Accursed | Joyce Carol Oates
Bailedbailed

Bailed after 200 pages. The book desperately needed a better editor, and after reading some Goodreads reviews, helped make up my mind to just forget about this convoluted story that needed condensing and a better ending. Life's too short for bad books.
I'll go ahead and start a reread of Rebecca.

I thought this sounded good and kinda spooky.. we're only a few days into November, so it's still not too late for spooky season, right? 🙂 hoping it's a good pick.

1. I have but then I celebrate Hanukkah….and it‘s over.
2. I finished the tagged book last month. The main character goes food shopping alot and I loved to read what she bought from the high end shops she visited… cheeses, wine, olives.

The story of an Admissions counselor at Princeton…whose life gets turned upside down. I saw the movie first so I knew the storyline and really liked reading the book.

The tagged book is my #Doublespin read and my goal is to read that. Airplane reading….as I am going to see Taylor Swift at the Chief‘s vs Eagles football game Monday night. 🤣

Pickpick

Apparently when my brain needs a rest, this is what I go to. A 1965 biography?/study?/hagiography? of Princeton basketball star Bill Bradley. Bradley would go on to a Rhodes scholarship, an NBA career with the Knicks, a long period as a US senator and a serious president candidacy. But that all happened after McPhee‘s awe-filled exploration of a then young mr. perfect. What weird? It works. It‘s a terrific book.

Currey I have loved many a McPhee 2y
Graywacke @Currey yeah…he‘s such a great writer. I picked this up at the library $1-a-book shelf last week…along with 3 others by him. ☺️ 2y

Pretentious and sexist, I bailed on this book after chapter 3. I like the idea of a book based mystery that is not a cozy mystery, but I don‘t have time for a bunch of bros.
