This was at times a little tedious, but there are some interesting thoughts in here. #authoramonth #14books14weeks

I‘ll be honest, I have no idea what I read - I just know Woolf‘s style isn‘t for me. So much double speak and description of minutiae for no real reason. Only one of the stories in this collection was enjoyable to me…but even then its point felt confused. #AuthorAMonth

I give up. While I have so far had a lot of success with #authoramonth this one is just not for me. It‘s time to #hailthebail.

TheBookHippie If you still want to try -this is fascinating (edited) 1w
Sace @TheBookHippie thanks for the recommendation! 1w
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I read all of her Diaries. She was a fascinating person. So tragic though. 1w

I tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

TheBookHippie 🙃 I adore her. Sorry it didn‘t work for you. 1w
Soubhiville @TheBookHippie It‘s ok! I‘ve found so many other authors through #AAM, there‘s bound to be one that misses every once in a while. 📚🙂 (edited) 1w
Sace I feel better seeing this. I‘ve spent today debating whether to bail or not. I might give her one more day, but I‘ve been struggling with her. 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures I liked her Mrs Dalloway, but her racism has always been an issue with me and I have struggled to get into any others. 1w
Soubhiville @Sace I felt like the language was too dense. I was trying so hard to understand what she meant that it wasn‘t enjoyable at all. Did people ever talk like this or was she trying to make her works somewhat inaccessible? I‘d love to hear theories. 1w
AmyG Yeah, I read one of her books, forgot which one, but she is not for me either. 1w
Gissy I think the same. I will try some books I own but I don‘t feel that passion for her writing style as other people do🤷🏽‍♀️There are authors and writing style for every reader🙌📚 1w

Here‘s a link to a cookbook to go with the book

I‘m sure everyone will want to make ARLENE'S CANDLE SALAD 🕯️ 🍍 😝 - maybe I should have posted THAT photo! 😝

PurpleyPumpkin This is great! As I was listening to the audiobook and realized there was a recipe for each character, I thought about checking to see if there was a list of the recipes somewhere online. But I didn‘t get around to it. 😅 Thanks for sharing! 🍌🍍🍒😂 2w
tpixie @PurpleyPumpkin yes! 👏🏻 I‘ve received an email about it today so I had to share!! 📘 2w

I chose the tagged book for July #authoramonth, but I wasn‘t having any luck with just an eyeball read or just listening. So now I am following along in the book while I listen and it seems to be helping.

I‘ve wanted to read Salman Rushdie for a while and I‘ve been told that the tagged book is a good place to start with this author. It‘s not the only one from him on my shelf though.

coffees I stopped keeping a long term TBR so I can't think of anyone...🤔 Lol! 2w
TheBookHippie This one was my first by him. I‘ve now read it all. Some I love some it depended when I read it. 2w
Sace @coffees I try not to do a long term TBR either. More month by month. 2w

Sace @TheBookHippie oh that one is on my shelf too! 2w
dabbe I adored this book. 💙 2w
Sace @dabbe glad to hear! Rushdie is an author who intimidates me. 2w
dabbe @Sace Me, too. That's why I read this one of #authoramonth. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 2w
BookmarkTavern Oh I‘ve had Rushdie on my list for a while too! Thanks for posting! 2w
