Now in November: A Novel | Josephine Johnson

“I do not see in our lives any great ebb and flow or rhythm of earth. There is nothing majestic in our living. The earth turns in great movements, but we jerk about on its surface like gnats, our days absorbed and overwhelmed by a mass of little things-that confusion which is our living and which prevents us from really being alive.”

💔 A beautifully told story of a family‘s breaking and enduring during the dust bowl era.

What a beautiful & heartbreaking book about a family farm hit by the Dust Bowl. It's a powerful depiction of trying to survive the unfathomable. At the same time, it tells of three sisters & their competing desires & dreams. How does one continue to hope when all seems lost? It won the Pulitzer in 1935 when Johnson was 24. After years of being out of print, it's being re-released. If you're into "lost lady lit," this is for you. Highly recommend!

merelybookish But it is sad. There is no sugar coating the devastation. #netgalley 2y
merelybookish Also, another book for #192025. This for 1934. @Librarybelle 2y
Librarybelle Oh! Stacking this! 2y

Sadly November's #24B4Monday readathon was a bit of a bust for me, not even half the time I hoped to accomplish. I'll have to try harder in December. I did finish 2 Enola Holmes audiobooks, than I recommend, so it wasn't a total wash.

My November, and most likely December, TBR List. ... so my end of 2019 list! 😉

A few series I‘m still working on catching up on, a few new releases, a few for #Booked2019, a bunch for my #Nonfiction2019 which will also work for #NFNovember and a few buddy reads, library check outs, etc miscellanea! 🙃

Bring on Fall 🍁
