Unlikeable characters and a slow-moving story made this less compelling than AF‘s other books. While the ending was great, the journey felt drawn out, and I struggled to stay engaged. That said, I always enjoy a good unreliable narrator! Book #23 in 2025

Book #23 of 2024: “The Book of Bird Poems” by Ryuto Miyake & Ana Sampson

I bought this one at A Book For All Seasons, Leavenworth WA because an anthology dedicated to poems about birds? Obviously necessary in my life. The poetry is lovely and the art is incredible. Give it a read ❤️

Librarybelle Thanks for the tag! 9mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Post your own or comment below with the 1-3 silliest THIS or THATs that you saw in the survey. I'll share the results of everyone tomorrow. 💛🤎🧡 9mo

dabbe @Librarybelle YW! 💛🤎🧡 9mo

LiseWorks Oh well, the mashed potatoes, legs, eating oysters, not my thing. Having pumpkin gravy sounded pretty nasty lol. 9mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Agree 💯! 9mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m a vegetarian who is allergic to pecans so some of these were easy choices for me! I couldn‘t decide between talking politics or food poisoning since both make me feel sick to my stomach at this point! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 9mo

Bookish_Thoughts Food poisoning over politics because then I would be left alone and. NFL referee over dog trainer because I‘m allergic to dogs (actually the entire animal kingdom). And desserts over everything else. Always. 🤣 9mo

AnnCrystal Thank you @dabbe for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 😉👍💝.

#2 Choice: Dress Like A Turkey 🦃.

#23 Choice: Eat at the kids table 😂.

#30 Choice: Dance at the Macy's thanksgiving parade 🥳.

Have a good and yummy Thanksgiving! (edited) 9mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Me either! Both are vomit-inducing right now! 💛🤎🧡 9mo

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes #leftalone should be a hasgtag, right? 😂 💛🤎🧡 9mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal #youngatheart HT to you and your family, too! 💛🤎🧡 (edited) 9mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I picked politics over food poisoning because I get a kick out of making other people feel awkward & uncomfortable. I also chose lots of pilgrim costumes just because I like black & white and think the others would be too hot. 🤣 9mo

vonnie862 The pocket full of stuffing/Mash potatoes was pretty crazy, along with the alien and mash potatoes for legs. 9mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤩😂🤩 9mo

dabbe @vonnie862 Just a wee bit of a stretch, huh? 💛🤎🧡 9mo

Bookish_Thoughts @dabbe Yes! It should be. 🤣 9mo

Catsandbooks So fun! I would actually love to be a dog trainer at the dog show!! 9mo

DieAReader 😝Super cute! My crazy picks were: turkey flavoured whipped cream on pumpkin pie, NFL referee & carving a turkey blindfolded😅😂 9mo

Singout Did you really mean without hands or without cutlery? 9mo

PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the tag @dabbe! Hope you‘re enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. 💜 What a fun survey!🙌🏽 (edited) 9mo

Susanita This was a great quiz! I‘m sorry I can‘t remember any specific answers, but I‘m with the others who say keep your mitts off my spuds! (I worked on it while the “outlaws” were discussing politics.) 9mo

kspenmoll This was such fun!!!! 9mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤩😂🤩 9mo

dabbe @vonnie862 Agree 💯! 9mo

dabbe @Catsandbooks Especially if it was Westminster, right? 🤩😍🤩 9mo

dabbe @DieAReader I don't know about the turkey-flavored whipped cream. 🤢🤩😍 9mo

dabbe @Singout Hmm. How would one eat without any hands--like a pig at a trough? I meant cutlery and changed it. Thanks for your keen eyes and editing savvy! 🤩😍🤩 9mo

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin Hope your day was a special one, too! That was a fun one, wasn't it? 🤩😍🤩 9mo

dabbe @Susanita I knew you were a smart lady! #outlaws 🤩😂😍 9mo

dabbe @kspenmoll 🤩😘🤩 9mo

Bklover Thanks for the tag- I‘m a bit late! I can‘t remember specific answers but I do know I‘d be eating a LOT of turkey! 9mo

Singout Introvert choices: a small intimate dinner, welcoming a stranger (we should do this more anyway), a prayer instead of a toast because I already have some scripts even though I hate doing it. 9mo

dabbe @Bklover I know I would be, too! 🤩😂🤗 9mo

Station Eleven: A novel | Emily St. John Mandel

pick

From the three books I read by this author, I will say I liked more this one. There were still parts I found repetitive or unnecessary. But wow! at the beginning it was like a flashback to the pandemic situation😳 There were sad parts as expected due to the pandemic situation. I think it was well integrated those elements of what happened in the past and the present through those interviews with Kirsten. I like post apocalyptic topics in novels⬇️

Gissy I liked the way the author described that chaos we expect in this type of topic.
Is there a movie based on this novel? If not, it will be a good for a screen adaptation. 3.8/4⭐️ 1y
