McDonald‘s reintroduced cappuccinos as a points redemption option, so I stopped in for a coffee and a read after I returned my library books. The drink took me a couple chapters further into BENEATH THE CANYONS, about which I‘m on the fence. The writing isn‘t bad so far, but there‘s maybe a vibe that‘s put me off? An ideological divide? We‘ll see whether I finish it or drift away.
Just stopped at Barnes & Noble for a browse and these Percival Everett books left with me. What could I do? They needed a home. 🤷🏻♀️
pickThis book belongs to my grandmother and I really did enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters so much. The plot of the book was great. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
I‘ve wanted to listen to this for some time, but the reviews said the narrator was difficult to listen to. They just released this new audio version and it‘s a narrator that‘s popular for many audios. I‘m only a few hours in but I can tell it‘s a very different and positive listen. Highly recommend if the former narration made you bail on it.
