Late 1960's California. Rose Clinton flees to St. Elizabeth's home for unwed mothers in Habit Kentucky. She doesn't want her mother or her husband to know she is pregnant as she wants to give up her baby. While at the home working as a cook she meets Son, the handyman. Rose decides she will keep her baby as Son has agreed to marry her. Marrying Son is just for show as she has never gotten a divorce from her first husband.

Based on true story in Peru in 1996, when rebels from the leftist Tupac Amaru movement raided a party at the Japanese ambassador's residence and took hundreds of civilians hostage including American opera star Roxane Coss, and Mr. Hosokawa, a Japanese CEO and her biggest fan. It is a captivating story of strength and fragility, love and imprisonment.

This is a novel about how an unexpected romantic encounter changes members of the Cousins and Keating families. It is a coming-of-age story about parent/child relationships and the bonds between siblings told in a succession of vignettes. Ann Patchett has admitted that the book is autobiographical. Although it is a mixture of satire, compassion and humor, it has great emotional depth.

Just discovered that my Library offers both Libby AND Hoopla! First Hoopla borrow! I enjoy Ann Patchett‘s soothing voice as she tells her own story. #authoramonth #annpatchett

#WeeklyForecast
I keep saying I'm just going to read books that I already have on my bookshelves, but then I continue joining buddy reads and reading challenges, so this might be the week/month I don't stick with the plan, lol! We'll see.

📚 The Extraordinaries
📚 The Assassin's Blade- I've wanted to read The Throne of Glass series for awhile
📚 The Count of Monte Cristo

I was trying to hold out until next month (when Ann is #AuthorAMonth) to reread this #audiobook, but I have other books lined up, and patience is not one of my virtues. 😁

This is a fantastic essay collection. The title essay about her relationship with her second husband Carl after being reluctant to remarry is fantastic. She covers many things from trying out for the LA police academy to the opening of Parnassus Books (her bookstore). ⬇️

Finally trying #AnnPatchett again. I was not a fan of #BelCanto, but I‘m enjoying this so far.
