Megabooks
Manhattan Beach: A Novel | Jennifer Egan

What a difference 5 years and a deeper dive into her backlist makes! I didn‘t care for this in 2017. I found it slow and maybe a bit dull. However, coming back after reading her other books, I can tell it was a passion project for her, which I appreciate. The small details of WWII Brooklyn and the tenderness in her portrayal of Anna just touches me.

This is not the best place to start with Egan, but it is a fine place my dive to end.

Megabooks And yes those fall roses smell divine! 2y
jlhammar So glad you enjoyed it more this time around! 2y
BarbaraBB I admire you for giving it another chance. I don‘t have patience for that, always thinking #toomanybookstoolittletime 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

Cinfhen Clever review!!! #Punny xx I didn‘t care for this book but I appreciate the way you chose to highlight the finer qualities - like @BarbaraBB it‘s hard for me to re-read books, especially ones I didn‘t really enjoy 2y
squirrelbrain Like @BarbaraBB and @Cinfhen I rarely re-read books, especially those I haven‘t enjoyed, but your comments, Meg, are making me re-think this attitude. But…. Too many books, too little time! 2y
Cathythoughts It is so interesting the difference time makes ! How we change. 2y
Megabooks @Cathythoughts that is so true. It feels like each year I have a different focus and things I enjoy. 2y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB kind of like I said to Cathy, I feel like my reading tastes change a lot year-to-year and I do find myself rereading quite a bit sometimes. I originally wasn‘t going to reread this, but reading some of Egan‘s thoughts on this book made me change my mind. Sometimes I do find a reread worthwhile, even or sometimes especially when I didn‘t like it and I like some of the author‘s other books. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks You‘re a real scholar! 2y

Okay, I know it‘s kind of cheating, but I‘ve read some chunksters this year too, so I don‘t feel too bad about it. #100 of #2018, in the books. #punny #24b42019 #readathon #readin2018 #goals 😸

Man what a book! I desperately want to go buy volume 2 right now (but alas I‘m at work and my pesky book buying ban). This was so much fun and I enjoyed how it made women seem powerful, strong, intelligent, witty and more! My favorite bit though was that they used famous women in history as curse words!

I know nothing about this book, but I'm feeling a little #punny as I watch A Capitol Fourth at the end of an extended holiday weekend. I'm glad there was #norain at the ballpark this morning for the Golden Knights parachute demonstration. We did get a nice gully washer a couple hours ago, but it looks clear for fireworks which should be starting any moment. #90sInJuly

erinreads I always hate A Capitol Fourth, but I watch it every year. 😬 Also, it's really overcast so I wonder if they'll just show a previous year's fireworks show like they did last year. 7y
Susanita @erinreads It's so corny, but I love it. 7y
