My Name is Memory
My Name is Memory | Ann Brashares
The latest from Ann Brashares, the New York Times bestselling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a magical story of reincarnation and a love that lasts more than a lifetime Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. For all the times that he and Sophia have been connected throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. But just when Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally awakens to the secret of their shared past, the mysterious force that has always separated them reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.

OMG this book! One of the best I‘ve read this year 💗 I don‘t usually do anything sci-fi/fantasy/unrealistic but this one did it for me. It wasn‘t too far fetched as to become totally unbelievable. What an amazing story!

This is about Daniel, who can remember his past lives. He has been in love for centuries with a girl (variously named Sophie/Charlotte/Lucy, depending on her past life) who cannot. I found the whole concept of Daniel keeping his memory from one life through the others to be rather fascinating—those were the parts I liked. The love story—not so much. And the ending was ridiculous and obviously set up for a sequel which I will not read.

xicanti @lovelybookshelf I'll choose a chewy ginger snap over any other cookie. 5y
xicanti @kaye the world is surprisingly full of dead pheasants. TONS of people have them as trophies in their houses, they're an antique store staple, museums and historical houses usually have at least one, and they crop up as shop decorations all. the. time. They've sort of gone out of vogue for that here in Canada, but when I lived in Auckland all the fancy-dancy stores decorated with taxidermy. Pheasants were the gold standard. 5y
xicanti @LauraBeth thank you! 5y
Kaye Oh. That makes sense I guess. I‘m in Ohio and can‘t ever remember seeing a dead pheasant. Maybe not a live one either ! 5y
xicanti @kaye I probably notice more than the average person because I'm sensitized to them. I've gotta tread carefully in certain settings so I don't turn around and find myself face to face with a screaming dead bird. Because taxidermists LOVE to mount pheasants so they're screaming at you. 5y

Daniel remembers everything going back centuries in order to find his love. This story goes back and forth in time telling of each time they fell in love.

Side note...waiting for a sequel since 2010.

Hello, my name is Marta.
My #LitsyHandle is monogamist_reader, because I have a bad memory and I can always read one book at a time. I can't follow two stories at the same time. 😂 I usually go by the online name warghalv (but that's another story). I just wanted something for book-related social so I came up with monogamist_reader. ✌️🖐️

My name is Memory. Like the thing in your head.

My #LitsyHandle was the name of my character in a Star Wars RPG my friends and I ran when we were teenagers. We did it all through email, with zero regard for how other people do RPGs, and it was awesome. I also wrote craploads of dire fanfic about the guy, and adopted xicanti as my standard username because it was uncommon. I DID steal it from a dodgy YA novel, though, so I can't always nab it.

LauraBeth Memory may be one of the coolest names ever 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Here I‘ve been thinking it was something related to your X-men love like “X I can‘t” and I just couldn‘t figure out that last i. Good to know. 6y

xicanti @LauraBeth when I met Maureen Johnson, she wrote that in my copy of THE LAST LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPE, so it must be true! 6y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk when I was a young person on message boards, people used to put random X's in front of their usernames if the one they wanted wasn't available, and I eventually learned a whole bunch of folks thought I'd just suck an X in front of, "I can't, I..." 6y
xicanti @ghosthost I can't remember the title, but it was one of those YA fantasies from before YA was a proper thing. I think the author's first name was Douglas. My friends were obsessed with the two-book series, and I flipped through the second one and stole the name Xicanti from a city. A while later, I read the books and wasn't too impressed. 6y

I LOVED this book, but hated the ending. And as someone who grew up in Virginia, I really didn't like that she referred to a "Virginia Twang" in relation to speech. Virginians 99.999% of the time based on the cities mentioned in her book DO NOT HAVE A SOUTHERN ACCENT ???. The story itself is sweet, and gut-wrenching. A soul keeps coming back desperate to finally connect with it's soulmate, or so he believes. Awesome plot, and well told.

StrayCat13 I've been waiting, in vain I might add, for over 6 years for her to write a sequel to this book! 7y

Amazing. I loved this book! Daniel has been living life over and over, and he remembers his past lives and recognizes souls. And he is trying to find his soulmate. But she doesn't remember Daniel.

Such a good book! I think this will be in my top five for this year.

An almost perfect love story. Captivating premise, held my attention through the end. It's about reincarnation and undying love. Could've been slightly better written, but I enjoyed it. The ending was not entirely satisfying, but not a deal-breaker. Shown here with one of the book clubs @MrBook and I run, and a half-healthy lunch (chicken Cesar wrap and disco tots). 😉

Readingrobin I was disappointed with "Last Summer (of You and Me)" after being a 'Sisterhood' fan! 8y
Julsmarshall Another one intrigued by disco tots! Inquiring minds must know! 8y
MrBook @Zelma @LibrarianJen @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com @Julsmarshall ???????! Disco tots are tater tots smothered in gravy (usually brown beef gravy) and melted cheese (usually mozzarella). It's a Jersey diner thing that has expanded beyond the state's borders. It started with disco fries (French fries) and gone on from there to other potato varieties. Why they call them "disco" though, I have no idea. Jersey has a lot of foods that... 8y
MrBook @Zelma @LibrarianJen @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com @Julsmarshall one can't find anywhere where. For example, have you ever heard of Taylor ham or pannetone bread or black & white cookies? 8y
Zelma It's like the Jersey version of poutine! Love it. I don't knew the other foods, but I have had black and white cookies (my dad used to live in New York). 8y

MrBook @Graciouswarriorprincess Or the Poconos. We run bookclubs in both spots 😊👍🏻. 8y
LibrarianJen @bookishkris They really are! 8y
LibrarianJen @MrBook if you like fried ice cream and biscochitos then you will love Sopapillas. They are little pieces of fried dough that look like pillows and when you poke your finger in the middle they are empty like a pocket. So then you take honey and spread it inside the pocket. It's the standard desert at any New Mexican restaurant and almost always comes with your meal. 8y
bookishkai @MrBook and green chile is amazing. Though, I suspect @LibrarianJen and I have differing opinions on how best to make it since she's from New Mexico and I live in Colorado; here we like it with chunks of cooked pork, green chiles, onion, and a little tomato. But I think it's just green chiles in NM. Mmmmm, SO good on burritos and cheese fries, or just eaten with a tortilla. 8y
LibrarianJen @bookishkris Yeah we usually just roast the green chiles and then chop them up and put them on everything. Literally everything! You can make a sauce, but it's usually a broth like the one I make is chile, onion and garlic and then I use chicken stock. What you described sounds almost like green chile stew. 8y

MrBook @BookishFeminist @Laalaleighh The bbq joints up here don't have sweet tea like the South does 😔😒. It usually tastes like a cardboard synthetic variation up here *sighs*. 8y
BookishFeminist @MrBook @Laalaleighh That's because there aren't any BBQ joints in NJ/Pa/Ny. They're frauds. (Unless you find soul food somewhere.) 8y
Karkar @MrBook so a tot version of poutine sounds yummy! 8y
BookishFeminist @Laalaleighh I had "sweet tea" at a restaurant up north in Minnesota that claimed to do southern cooking- me and another Virginian along for the dinner took one sip and were like WTH is this?! They'd used Artisan loose leaf tea to make it- I'm like no, you can't just get single source baby Ceylon leaves handpicked by virgin monkeys in the mountains of China, brew it, throw sugar in and call that sweet tea. ?? don't foodie my sweet tea! 8y

Lynnsoprano The Poconos? I spent a lot of time there when I was a kid. (I grew up in Bethlehem). But I have lived in the south for 40 years, and I still drink unsweetened tea. 8y
BookishFeminist @MrBook Those tater tots aren't poutine though, lol. It ain't poutine with melted cheese- it has to be cheese curds. I've had tater tot poutine, though! Minnesota had some cuisine perks despite The Great Sweet Tea Incident- they have a tater tot food truck that sells legit poutine tater tots. 👍🏼 8y

Laalaleighh @bookishfeminist @laurabeth I'm a Mississippi girl. If you cut me I bleed sweet tea. Also- McAlisters is famous for their tea, I don't care for their menu but I get their tea pretty often as it's the closest thing to real sweet tea in blacksburg I can find. (Bf hates tea, no point in making my own) 8y
BookishFeminist @Laalaleighh Blasphemy! Also there's McAlisters down on Blacksburg? Yes! I wonder where the closest one is to me. We've got bojangles but it's a mixed bag when it comes to whether DC has southern chains or not. Also @MrBook for homemade use Lipton or something similar. Don't get fancy. 8y
Laalaleighh @BookishFeminist it's new. I cried when it opened (not really, but on the inside) no fancy sweet tea. Virgin monkeys from Ceylon need not apply 🙅🏻🙈🙉🙊 8y

MrBook @BookishFeminist @Laalaleighh @LauraBeth Southern gals are the best 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻!! (After @BookBabe , of course 😉👌🏻.) This is a superb conversation. And thank you for the recs & insights 😊👍🏻. @Laalaleighh Your bf doesn't drink tea and I don't drink coffee, so him & I can be weirdos together 😂👏🏻🙌🏻. 8y
MrBook @rustoryhuf Seems to be my niche speciality, so why not 😂👏🏻👍🏻? Where are you? @courtney Awww, what's the matter 😳? 8y
Laalaleighh @mrbook HOW CAN YOU NOT DRINK COFFEE ?!?!?!?!!! 🙀 8y
courtney All the tots! Too good 8y
MrBook @Laalaleighh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *pauses for air*....😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Well, my favorite ice cream is Ben & Jerry's Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz, and my second favorite is Hagen Dazs Coffee. Does that offset things a bit or percolate a deeper mystery then at first brew? 😂😂😂😂 8y
MrBook @courtney Lol, oh. Want me to ship you a few bags? 😁👍🏻 8y
BookBabe @Laalaleighh Yes, @MrBook loves coffee ice cream and coffee milkshakes, but not Starbucks Frappuccinos, or coffee itself. 🙄 8y
Laalaleighh Percolate for sure. 8y
MrBook @BookBabe @Laalaleighh 😁😎👍🏻 8y
Laalaleighh @bookbabe OMG. I can just imagine how 🙄🙄🙄 that must make you. Thats like my friends bf that lives meat, cheese, mayo, mustard, and bread- but hates sandwiches. 😳 8y
BookBabe @Laalaleighh Whaaaaat?! 😳🙄 omg, lol 8y
Laalaleighh Yes. Imagine trying to go out to eat with him. Nowhere that serves sandwiches. The mere presence on the menu disgusts him. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 @BookBabe 8y
MrBook @BookBabe @Laalaleighh Geez, what's wrong with that person?! 😆👍🏻 8y
Lizpixie @Laalaleighh wow. And I thought the fact my hubby refuses to eat tomatoes but loves pasta, tomato sauce, baked beans etc was strange. And my daughter, who refuses to eat oranges but loves orange juice. And @MrBook coffee?? Really??? Go stand in the corner young man😠 8y
rustoryhuf @MrBook I'm in the wonderful state of Georgia! Grits, sweet tea, pecans, peaches, & peanuts! 8y
Laalaleighh @Lizpixie wait, does he love pasta with tomato sauce??!?!?!!?!!!!!!!????! 8y
MrBook @Lizpixie 😂👏🏻👍🏻 8y
MrBook @rustoryhuf Georgia is a wonderful state 😁👍🏻! 8y
Lizpixie @Laalaleighh yes, yes he does. He scoffs down spaghetti bolognaise & lasagna like its his last meal, and pizza too. 8y
Laalaleighh @Lizpixie 😳😳😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 8y
MrBook @Lizpixie @Laalaleighh I love scampi & piccata; @BookBabe prefers the creamy sauces with vodka topping her list. Does anyone out anchovies on their pizzas anymore? I still see that option on pizza box sides sometimes lol. 8y
kspenmoll I have been sooooo lucky to have a neighbor who grew up in Alabama & makes me sweet tea, an amazing coleslaw ( ingredients secret) & all kinds of southern delights. 😊 8y
MrBook @kspenmoll 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻 8y
Adam_Z I read that a couple years ago on a friend's recommendation... Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. 👍 8y
MrBook @Adam_Z It's interesting how some books get all the hype and disappoint while others lean quietly toward hesitancy yet exceed expectations 😊👍🏻. 8y

I've forsaken the BBQs, and instead curled up with a cup of tea and a good book. A VERY good book. This is the moment of truth—my final reading session with this intense and unexpected love story. I haven't been able to put it down. Can't wait to see how it ends! 🤗📚☕️

Pickpick

An interesting romance that hovers around 4 stars. Well-written and well-executed plot. 2 souls struggle to come together over many reincarnated lifetimes, while another keeps them apart. A better done sibling to "The Memory Painter" with tones of Claire North's Harry August and "Touch". Sophia &, especially, Daniel were frustrating in different ways, lol. A beautiful story nonetheless. #PairWith: Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Champagne, chilled.

#BookNMunchies! MrBook's famous tortilla plate: tortilla chips, mozzarella & cheddar & provolone shredded cheeses, black olives, hard salami, pepperoni, a secret amalgamation of spices (add salsa and sour cream if you like). Nuke it, and voila! In 5 minutes you've got the perfect snack to go with any book entrée ????! @BookBabe likes some marinated artichoke hearts on hers also. This has been another episode of #MrBookBookBabeKitchen ???.

MrBook @Laura317 We love Cracker Barrel 😁, and this location sits at the halfway mark between us and NYC, so we stop here often.
