The Mothers: A Novel | Brit Bennett

Suzze The Mothers of Invention! One of my favorite groups in the late 60's. Saw them in person too. Frank Zappa was a genius. 8y

Thekelburrows @Suzze my review should have been: "The Mothers needed more of The Mothers" ? 8y

Gawd it feels so long...

Notafraidofwords How far are you in? 8y

Suet624 😂😂😂😂 I feel that way and I haven't even started!! 8y

Thekelburrows @Notafraidofwords 450 pages in and chugging along. I love a meaty novel but sometimes it feels sooooo time consuming. 😀 8y

Notafraidofwords @Thekelburrows that's how I feel about my current read (East of Eden). I think I'm on my second week of it. It's even more time consuming for me because I read only one book at a time. 8y

Sydsavvy It IS long!!! 8y

TeR Did this one as audio. It's the only way for me to finish a tome like that! (edited) 8y

BestDogDad I feel the same way. Enjoying it but can't find enough time to knock off big chunks. 8y

Suet624 😂😂😂😂 8y

merelybookish I really loved this book. And Proulx's ability to create such a wide variety of characters is impressive. Still, I would be wary about recommending this book because it is an undertaking. I hope you like it. Great pic! 8y

Untitled | Unknown

January wrap up. 14 books finished. Especially loved Here I Am and Prodigal Summer.

Laalaleighh What did you think of the art forger. I read that a couple of years ago after the goldfinch had me on a books about art theft binge. 8y

Thekelburrows @Laalaleighh Art Forger was very fun and readable. It's more Davinci Code pop-fiction than The Gold Finch high literary merit. 8y

Laalaleighh @Thekelburrows I thought so too. Although I found myself constantly questioning the MC's choices. It made me really interested in the robbing of the Gardner Museum though. 8y

Thekelburrows @Laalaleighh I inhaled the whole thing in about 36 hours. Junk food binge. I didn't feel great about it but man it was pretty tasty. 😊 8y

Thekelburrows @Desha I love them all. @quirkyreader Agreed it is a hilariously strange cover. 8y

Verity That cover is nuts. Kinda brilliant in its total not rightness though. I'm listening to Strong Poison on audio for the umpteenth time again at the moment. 8y
