emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola Jaimie actually did read it and she said it wasn't great so I haven't been inclined to pick it up 😏 7y

Reviewsbylola Hmmmmm it could still be 50/50. Jaimie and I don‘t always have similar taste. 7y

Cinfhen Haha @Reviewsbylola this is definitely the second time I remember seeing it....it does photograph well🧡 7y

Mdargusch Love the cover! ❤️ now you‘re photographing in the basement? 😂 7y

Kalalalatja Now I‘m kinda intriqued as well, so I‘m putting extra pressure on you 😉😄 7y

#itsalongwaytothetop for women working in NYC in the 1950's ... Or today 🙃 This book about women struggling to support themselves and building their dreams in the city on their own has been in my tbr stack for so long and for some reason I can't get myself to pick it up... Too real? 🤔

EvieBee No but hoping to. Looks like I‘ll have to purchase. Question: worth buying or should I wait?! 7y

merelybookish @EvieBee It's definitely worth reading! I think I really wanted to love it and I didn't. I liked it but still not sure what it was trying to do. Like how the title connects with the story and how it unfolds. I think it's a book I'll think about for a while. 7y

EvieBee @merelybookish Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. My reading diet recently has consisted of a lot podcast recommendations that have missed the mark for me. Not a complete waste of time, just not 5 stars. I‘ll keep this one in the wings and hopefully my library will acquire it. 7y

reciprokate I bailed on this halfway through. It started off as the sort of book that I enjoy (historical fiction (pre 70s), female protagonist). It seems to branch off into another genre, murder mystery (?). So much background info on topics that didn't interest, features on characters that I didn't care about. I finally stopped because I didn't want to stay present in any of the places within the story or care to know any of the characters. Fizzle... 7y

"She fails to interpret his gesture when he tugs at his own shirt, so he has to make his expectations explicit by reaching forward and undoing the top buttons on her blouse."
2017 - the year I try prostitution? ? It's been a pretty unbelievably shitty year so I guess anything is possible.

vivastory Sorry you've had a rough year 7y

merelybookish @vivastory oh, thanks. 😊 I'm okay. I just meant the current political climate is hella awful. Plus climate change. 7y

CouronneDhiver Hahaha! Scandalous 7y

JazzFeathers It's been a couple of shitty years. Isn't it time for a change? 7y

merelybookish @CouronneDhiver Indeed! ☺️ (It is the oldest profession...) @JazzFeathers No kidding! You think it can't get worse...and then it does. Like every day! 😰 7y

Today's #libraryhaul. (Went a bit overboard.) The tagged book has a gushing blurb from Kate Atkinson, which is enough to convince me!

rubyslippersreads I really want to read this one. 7y

Lmstraubie Yay! 🙆

I just loved this book! It's a beautifully written story that spans decades and interweaves the stories of several strong women and the choices that they make, some history about the development of the Twin Towers, feminism, environmentalism...it so good!

This book, y'all. It will take some time to come up with proper words, but suffice it to say: highly, highly recommend. A cleverly crafted, quietly powerful novel about New York, environmental justice, relationships, work, feminism, voice, and storytelling. Full review to come in Shelf Awareness for Readers. (On sale in July from @LittleBrownBooks.)
