Great book! Aside from the blatant sexism, I really enjoyed this. Elizabeth may be considered harsh and abrasive by some, but I thought she was a great character!

My #HyggeHourReadathon has developed into an all afternoon, not moving from this spot. This is most definitely a 'calm and boring day'. 😊📚☕️🐈
I'm spending the day alternating between reading the tagged book and listening to #NaturaLitsy January read, What the Wild Seas Can Be. 🌊 🎧

For the actual hour, I'll be planning February's reads and journaling.

All welcome to join us.

Well this was totally unexpected!
I've seen this book around a lot but never really paid attention to it. Then I saw it was an Apple TV show, and being me I obviously decided to read the book first.
Not only was it something totally different and refreshing but it was really deep, and spoke to my heart in ways I didn't expect.
In conclusion I get the hype.

Texreader Good to hear. It‘s on my tbr list 4d
Suet624 I felt the same way - wasn‘t expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. 4d
Reggie My bookclub read this and there is this ONE GUY and I just kept thinking just pass man, just pass. It was the week of the election and I felt like we were in a women‘s trauma group. And that one guy says I don‘t think women have it that bad. And had we been in the streets these bookish women would have jumped him. The guy right after him-passed. lol I liked this book a lot.

Enchanted_Bibliophile @Reggie Some men can be so ignorant sometimes... I mean read the room 🫣 4d
Enchanted_Bibliophile @Suet624 I love books that surprise me like this. 💞 4d
Enchanted_Bibliophile @Texreader I'm sure you'll love it 4d
Suet624 @Reggie I mean, did he read the book? And if so, did she have it so easy? To imagine that having a baby, nursing a baby, working all day and returning to cook dinner, to go grocery shopping ... oh, forget it. I don't need to tell you. You're fully aware. This just pisses me off. That a man can't see what anyone other than him experiences. Grrr... 3d

Recommended by at least 2 friends. I am already overreacting to all the sexism at work (who has work in engineering and still been "mistaken" for the secretary will see why). I need to brace myself for the rest ;)

Tamra There is some maddening real sexism, but I enjoyed the story telling. 👍🏾 2mo

Watching Jeopardy from a few weeks ago, and I learned that this gentleman is the husband of Bonnie Garmus, who wrote Lessons in Chemistry. I may owe her an apology for saying that her characters didn‘t seem realistic. I can DEFINITELY picture this guy asking someone to pass the sodium chloride. 😜

“Girls couldn't play baseball, or can they?“ This quote challenges the stereotypes of people thinking girls can't do things.

I would use this book in my classroom to discuss women's rights and determination.

This story was published in 2003 and is historical fiction. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't love all of the things a “normal“ girl should love back in the 1940's. She loved baseball instead but no one let girls play baseball. So, she made a league of her one and how she might have played for the first ever All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

1) Ranier cherries ... so hard to choose just one but their season is so short it feels like a real treat.

2) Loved the book and the show

TheSpineView I don't think I have ever had a Rainier cherry. Hmmm... 3mo
Lesliereadsalot They‘re definitely the best cherries! Liked the tv series way more than the book. 3mo
