Alternate Side: A Novel | Anna Quindlen
post image

The rumor is that Nora Nolan is going to leave her position as the Director of the Jewelry Museum in Manhattan, and work for her husband‘s powerful boss. Causes lots of friction in the marriage. #rumorhasit #anglophileapril

Reviewsbylola I really enjoyed the two Anna Quindlen books I‘ve read! 6y
DivineDiana @Reviewsbylola Which ones did you read? 6y
emilyhaldi Love Anna Quindlen but somehow haven‘t heard of this one!! 6y

(Day 2 - #RumorHasIt)

For some reason, this made me think of some of the most outrageous authorial hoaxes ever perpetrated on the reading public. Finally, after considering several (The Hitler Diaries, anyone?), I landed on the weird, winding tale of J. T. (for Terminator) Leroy, aka Laura Albert. Humph. Whatever, for what it‘s worth.... (shrugs shoulders).

Cinfhen I never knew that!!! #LiveAndLearn 6y
Mdargusch Interesting! 🤔 6y
emilyhaldi I need to spend some time googling this situation! 6y
Reviewsbylola Wow, this is fascinating. 6y
gradcat @Cinfhen @Mdargusch @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola It is a very interesting story...you guys should check it out. Plus, there are a couple (maybe more?) documentaries out there that cover this subject. It‘s such a strange story, too! 6y

All I could think of for #rumorhasit was Rumer Willis! 😁🤷‍♀️

AlaMich I‘m such a nerd that every time I see the name Rumer, I remember that that‘s what Bruce Willis and Demi Moore named their daughter. My memory for useless trivia is boundless! 🤓 6y

Mehso-so

#rumorhasit that Mary had something to do with Lord Darnley's murder. After reading this book I'm leaning towards her being innocent. #AnglophileApril @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch

TrishB It‘s another one of those historical conundrums!! I believe she‘s guilty- Weir and I don‘t agree on a lot of historical questions 😁 6y
Birdsong28 @trishb @jenniferw88 Have you read John Guy My heart is my own? From reading his account of this episode I think he thinks she's guilty. I'm not sure myself 📚📖 6y
jenniferw88 @Birdsong28 no, but I am definitely interested in reading other perspectives... #stacked! 6y

Mdargusch So many rumors in that Tudor family! 6y
rretzler I‘ve always been fascinated by Mary and Elizabeth and that period. 6y
TrishB I‘ve read the Guy one. I also recommend this one , it‘s a great discussion point! 6y
Birdsong28 @jenniferw88 Just be careful when buying it as you can get it with the yellow cover (the pic that is on here) or the movie cover and it just says Mary Queen of Scots on the front but it is the same book. My version is the yellow cover as I have had it a few years but only getting round to reading it properly 😂 as I used it for my Tudor History A level but only used certain sections. 6y
Birdsong28 @TrishB It certainly is! I studied this time period of Mary's life for my Tudor History A level case study. That book you suggested is a good book as well. 😁📚📖 6y
Cinfhen I love all the political intrigue 6y

Asking For It | Louise O'Neill

When Emma O‘Donovan wakes up on her porch, naked and sunburned, #RumorHasIt she acted like a s**t and had sex at a party, while letting the guys take pictures of her. In reality, Emma was taken advantage of, raped, and humiliated, and this book is a look at how a girl reacts to such a treatment.

#AnglophileApril

Cinfhen Sounds like such a hard read!! 6y
Reviewsbylola Wow, so awful. Sounds like this book packs a punch. 6y
ShyBookOwl This sounds like an important and powerful read... but that cover throws me 🤔 6y
See All 12 Comments
Mdargusch Wow! Sounds devastating! Reminds me of that same type of thing that happened in Steubenville, Ohio awhile back. 6y
ElishaLovesBooks Wow, that sounds intense! 6y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @ElishaLovesBooks it is tough, heart breaking, and it made me soooo angry! But, now with some professional insight into the subject as well, everything in the book is just way too common. It is sad, just sad... @ShyBookOwl don‘t let the cover scare you! The MC is described as a very popular, kinda mean girl type, which might explain the cover. Also, O‘Neill‘s other book also had a Barbie on the cover 6y
ShyBookOwl @Kalalalatja interesting. Thanks! 6y
Kalalalatja @Mdargusch it actually does have a lot of similarities to the Steubenville case, as far as I remember. Definitely a lot of victim blaming, a lot of shame and self blame, and a bit of loss of faith in humanity, as a reader 😔 6y
Mdargusch I wonder if that incident motivated this author then? 6y
Kalalalatja @Mdargusch I just found this article, where she, among others, mentions Steubenville as an inspiration https://www.google.dk/amp/s/www.thejournal.ie/louise-oneill-asking-for-it-interv... 6y
emilyhaldi 😕 6y
gradcat Again, another great choice. 6y
