Just like that | 
Gifts from the 📕 Swap gods on Wednesday night after Reading between the Wines Book Club at Modus Brewery. I‘d never been there before. My spicy margarita and tuna ceviche was yum and it was the perfect late summer evening for a stroll home before bed. Lily Brett has been a favourite of mine since I was in my 20s and I enjoy a good magazine and loose leaf tea on the train to work to make me happy during the working week. These are some of my favs.
bailedWeird, how moods change. After about 40 pages I was bored by everything in this book and decided to read the last 50 pages. It felt like I didn‘t even skip 200 pages.
It was a typical Brett. So I knew what I would get but the pattern of her stories this time simply didn‘t pick me up, if you know what I mean.
On to the next book …
Decided for this one. I wanted something I would like. Something I would have a reasonable chance to fall into. I recalled I wasn‘t too overwhelmed by my last Brett but I don‘t know. She has that something. By reading my own last post about this book, I recalled, it‘s fiction. That was a bit disappointing because I was already looking forward to some autobiographical stuff.
But be it. Let‘s go.
I should go to bed but I rather am reading.
Weird, but despite my slight disappointment about “In full View”, I‘m looking forward to “Just like that”. As far as I know it‘s a novel (like “Lola Bensky”) and I am really curious how much Lily and how much autobiography I will detect in there.
It‘s funny how I seem to read her books non-chronologically. “Only in New York” was from 2014, “Lola Bensky” from 2012, “In full View”from 1997 and “Just like that” is from 1994.
