First morning of my vacation and finished my library book in the quiet before everyone is up. I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as a child. It was interesting to read a novel by Smith aimed at an older audience.

This novel matches the weather today - dreary & melancholy.

In sum, young people always have happier horizons to chase, whereas the sun has set on the dreams of their middle aged parents. 🙁 Somehow they lose themselves in the daily struggle to maintain home & body.

My favorite 2022 reads! 📚

I read a total of 29 books this year, my lowest total that I can remember in a long time but I have the best excuse — I became a mother to a baby girl in March. She keeps us happily occupied most days, but I try to find time to read when I can (during naps, before bed, lobby waiting, road trips, etc.).

My 2023 reading goal is to make the most of the quiet moments ✨

Kristin_Reads Congrats!! Time for reading *will* return eventually 🤗 1y
BittersweetBooks @Kristin_Reads thank you!! And that‘s so good to hear. I wouldn‘t trade the moments with my daughter but I sure do miss reading as much as I used to. 1y
Jensol77 Audio is a good option for busy moms. 1y

My recent book acquisitions. 😊

I‘ve been savoring the short stories in Sunstroke and I‘ve long wanted to read the tagged title because A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is favorite. 💜

I went into Half Price today looking for Dodie Smith‘s New Moon from the Old and nada. 😞

Ruthiella Clearly you were attracted to orange spines! I hope you like Maud Martha. I liked it a lot . 2y
Tamra @Ruthiella 😜 That was definitely accidental - I‘m not all that crazy about orange except in nature! 2y

Don‘t take things so serious. Learn to make and take a joke, ‘cause if you don‘t, it‘s going to be an awful dreary life for you 👭
.
Tomorrow—next month—next year. Everything was always going to be better in the future. And suddenly the future had come. It was a brief present. Too soon it would merge into a past to be remembered ⏳

My last book of2021 with a very fitting title for this year (unless I finish my audiobook.)

A melancholy book about a young woman trying to make her way in Brooklyn. It‘s very well written but kind of a bummer.

CBee I was going to comment that it‘s a very fitting title! I think we‘ve been saying that for two years now, it seems 🙁 (edited) 2y

I‘ve got a cat on my lap, a Betty Smith novel I haven‘t read yet, and my husband making me dinner in the kitchen. No real complaints here tonight.

Set in the same time period of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, we see the life of a young woman as it was, focused on marriage, having babies, and living only for your husband. We get a glimpse into the simplicity of Margy‘s life, and her heartbreak.
