All the Lives We Never Lived | Anuradha Roy

pick

Ever since I bought The Folded Earth by accident and loved it, I felt like Anuradha Roy was my own special secret. I hadn't thought to look for more of her books but came across this in the library and it was wonderful. I read it slowly, through many interruptions. Her writing is clear, precise and rich; never flowery or sentimental. Such a contrast to the previous book I finished. Just beautiful.

slategreyskies I love The God of Small Things, and I love mango lassi too! I used to cook Indian food every once in a while, but I haven‘t been taking the time for it lately. I miss it and would enjoy having it again soon! 5y

PaperbackPirate @slategreyskies Omg that book! 😭 I wrote so many quotes from that one. 🥭 I don‘t like to cook but I was going to try to make a dairy-free mango lassi. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Do you cook your Indian food spicy or mild? 5y

I needed a little shopping therapy last week so I bought books of course! I needed the tagged book for book club, with a little nudge from my dh got Letters from Wupatki from a gift shop, picked up The Sport of Kings for the upcoming Triple Crown season, and am a new Jenny Colgan fan so The Bookshop on the Corner was necessary.
Have you read any of these?

Scochrane26 Love the Bookshop on the Corner 5y

Crewgurl I also love the bookshop on the corner!!! 5y

ljuliel I agree with the 2 above — Jenny Colgan ! 5y

Crazeedi Bookshop, yes!! 5y

AnneCecilie The Sport of Kings is great 5y

PaperbackPirate @Crewgurl @ljuliel @Crazeedi @Scochrane26 Hooray for The Bookshop on the Corner fans! I read an ARC of The Bookshop on the Shore not realizing there was another to read first. I still loved it! Have you all read The Shore? 5y

PaperbackPirate @AnneCecilie Good to know you liked it! I feel like I‘ve seen mixed reviews. 5y

ljuliel Yes The Shore one was my favorite but I liked them both. 5y

Crewgurl I didn‘t read that one actually! I‘ll have to check it out 😊 5y

PaperbackPirate @ljuliel The part with the chicken made me lol which doesn‘t often happen when I‘m reading! 🐔 5y

PaperbackPirate @Crewgurl I hope you like it as much as I did! 📚 5y

Scochrane26 I have the Shore on kindle but haven‘t read it yet. I‘ve been reading some depressing books lately, so maybe I‘ll read it after. I‘ll need a light read. @PaperbackPirate 5y

Crazeedi @PaperbackPirate yes I did!! 5y
