The synopsis should‘ve mentioned how slow moving this book is! 40% in and hoping it picks up soon!

Cathythoughts I really enjoyed this one 👍🏻 it picks up ( IMO) (edited) 4y
Trina_L @Cathythoughts good! I‘m getting to Janine‘s part. After she allegedly confronted Mary , so I am definitely thinking it will pick up here :) 4y

An American Marriage | Tayari Jones

“ I don‘t believe blood makes a family; kin is the circle you create, hands held tight. There is something to shared genetics, but the question is, what exactly is that something? It matters that I didn‘t grow up with a father. It‘s kind of having one leg an inch and a half shorter than the other. You can walk, but there will be a dip.” - Andre “ An American Marriage “

Educated: A Memoir | Tara Westover

So excited to be reading this book. It‘s being compared to “ The Glass Castle” which is one of my all time favorites. Also, I have tomorrow off, sooooo......

ReadingSusan I haven‘t read The Glass Castle but this is my favorite read of 2018 so far. I wouldn‘t say it‘s an easy read but so moving. 7y
Trina_L Yes! I‘ve read great things about this book. Glass castle was the same way, sad but also moving . 7y

Wow! Interesting , very interesting plot twist . The book ended very open ended for me. I went online to see what others were saying after reading this book & in doing so saw that Alice Feeney has a second book coming out called , “ sometimes I kill” I am hoping this has some answers to my questions!

A lot of characters to keep track of, but two interesting main characters that you start to care about. Good plot, the story moved at a good pace . I say it‘s a “ pick” 👍🏻👍🏻

G dammit , her books ! I have a love/hate relationship with Kristin Hannah! Love all of her books , hate that she doesn‘t have a new one for me to read every month . This book was full of Grit, Love , strength , weakness , courage , heartache and heartbreak . I just loved Leni so much and love Kristin even more for introducing me to her. Thanks Kristin for choosing to write as your profession. ❤️❤️❤️

Every time I️ read a book like this , a book about dying , especially written by the person who is dying , I️ wonder why do I️ do this to myself? Why do I️ read such sad books? I️ just finished this book & I️ just wonder where these people get their strength , their bravery from? How are they so strong? I️ read these books to be reminded that I️ am lucky. Rest easy sweet Nina.... ❤️

Isn‘t nostalgia an odd feeling ? Happy and sad at the same time. At least for me.

Does anyone do any type of book journaling ? I️ am going to start and am looking for ideas . What do you include , do you enjoy it , why do you do it? Any feedback is appreciated !

CatLass007 It‘s a great jumping off point for someone new to book journaling. 7y
Trina_L @CatLass007 thank you so much , I️ will try that! Thank you for your input :))) 7y

missevievelyn I‘ve been book journaling for over 10 years! Just finished up my second one this year (one of the moleskine book journals). I think you have to figure out what works for you and what you want to record! The moleskine journal didn‘t actually work well for me because it has a large page for every book and a huge section for quotes, when all I really care about writing down is the author and a couple thoughts. Moving on to just a blank journal next. 7y
Trina_L Thanks so much @missevievelyn ! I️ am looking to add quotes and how I️ felt about the book :) can I️ ask what specifically you love about book journaling? Also, 10 years is really impressive . I️ really wish I️ had started earlier . 7y
missevievelyn @Trina_L sometimes I like to add quotes too! But it‘s too much work to do for everything I read—that‘s why I‘m excited to move to something more flexible. I‘ve been writing down what I read and what I thought since my parents told me I should start, when I was around 10 years old (I‘m 24 now). My favourite thing is definitely being able to look back on all those years of books! Seeing what I thought of books when I was 10/11/12 is pretty funny. 7y

I️ expected so much more from this book. Am I️ the only one or am I️ just harsh?!

ErikasMindfulShelf I loved it, but everyone has different taste 🤷🏼‍♀️ 7y
Trina_L Yours seems the be the general consensus! It wasn‘t terrible , but I️ wanted there to be more to it. But you‘re absolutely right, everyone has different tastes :) 7y
REPollock After loving her first book, I had high hopes for this one. Just finished it and am deeply underwhelmed. 7y
Trina_L Agree. I️ didn‘t read her first book ( I️ do plan on it) it just didn‘t do anything for me. Based on the reviews and the synopsis I️ was expecting WAY more. 7y
