Reading this book now, pretty disappointed because I liked his other book Outliers but this falls short.

Too bad!

Currently listening to this Audiobook (I usually prefer reading physical books)

So far it is interesting but nothing to write home about. Picked it up as a recommendation from a colleague!

Dune Messiah | Frank Herbert

Just started Dune: Messiah this morning, interesting so far!

I also prefer my books to be well worn and used, shows they were read! I know that is sacrilege to many readers though 🤣

This book is a bit shorter so hopefully I can finish it within the next few days 😊

Started this one over the weekend, I am so happy there is an index!

I'm loving it so far, so many philosophical undertones to make you think about the fictional world created. Hopefully it continues to impress me!

Starting this one now, excited to give it a try!

I love Stephen King, but usually find I either adore a book (5 stars) or find it ok (3 stars) Hopefully this is the former! 🤣

I watched the movie last Friday with my sister, Serafina, and am now excited to read it! I heard a lot is different in the movie - I was so in love with the original trilogy when I was a kid!

Do Not Say We Have Nothing | Madeleine Thien

I give this book a rating of 2/5. As a Canadian living in the GTA, I was super intrigued by this novel. However, this story could have been told in half the pages. Getting through the first part of the book felt tedious and only nearing the end could I not put my book down.

So many interesting themes, which have unfortunately been drowned out by long and uninteresting writing.

This book was beautifully written and a few poems stuck with me. However, descriptive literature it‘s just not my cup of tea. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy descriptions of nature.

Man's Search for Meaning | Viktor E Frankl

This book is such a great read. Frankl discusses his experience in concentration camps during the Holocaust and his observations of prisoners‘ fights to find individual purpose in their sufferings. This book has changed the way I view hardship and I recommend it to everyone! #audiobook #library #philosophy

After reading through Mary Oliver‘s “Devotions,” I was struck at how beautiful this poem is. I recently lost my dog, Stella, just over a month ago. I sometimes dream of her at night, and although the thoughts may not be true, they certainly are real to me.

CBee I‘m so sorry you lost Stella 🐾♥️ 4y

Do Not Say We Have Nothing | Madeleine Thien

Almost done reading this book - it took a while to get started but it‘s getting more interesting!

Prairiegirl_reading I almost gave up on this. It was a book club book that we split up and if not for my group‘s discussion in the first part I don‘t know that I would have made it through but I‘m so glad I finished. It is excellent. 4y
SabGinesi @Prairiegirl_reading The first part of the book is hard to get through, especially since there‘s so many storylines. I haven‘t gotten to the end yet, but the second half is much better! 4y
Prairiegirl_reading @SabGinesi exactly. I felt like I was missing a lot. Like it was going over my head. The second half is outstanding! 4y
