Discussion time for this month‘s #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead ! There are four questions (sorry - not on my game this month!) under the spoiler tag. Answer whenever; I know there are mixed thoughts on this one.
Thanks for reading this month! Looking forward to next month (I love the authors featured in The Forgotten Room!)!
4. Our posts this month showed a lot of mixed reviews during our reading. What do you think of the book? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
3. The structure of the novel is meant to resemble a play - chapter headings set as acts and scenes. Does this structure work for the novel? Any thoughts on overall writing structure? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
2. How well does Fiorato capture the spirit of the characters from “Much Ado About Nothing?” Think about Beatrice and Benedick specifically. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
1. Fiorato sets out to tell the “story before the story,” a past situation alluded to in “Much Ado About Nothing.” How familiar are you with Shakespeare‘s play? Is this portrayal a plausible continuation (or prequel) of his story? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
Check in post for #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead ...discussion will be next week!
Any thoughts so far in the readings? This is a different style of writing, but I find myself enjoying it. Beatrice is such an amazing character!

Unwinding after a day of work, a walk , & a grocery shop. A little snack, a little wine, a book, (and cat on my lap) while I await dinner. 📚🍷🥜🧀🍒
Really living this book despite the fact I am only on p.15! What a sensory experience...
@Crazeedi do you notice anything in the picture that is familiar to you?!

A prequel/retelling of one of my favorite Shakespeare plays - I have high hopes
so-soThis book was utterly frustrating! The author takes many liberties with the characters and even moves beyond the 'prequel' into the story itself where she jumbles the events there. The story was all tragedy and suffering. Of course there was a happy ending, but even that was darkened with despair. Still, the descriptive language was beautiful and the way the plots of different plays were woven together was clever. I wish I could like it more.⭐⭐1/2
