KadaGul I was really looking 👀 forward ⏩to diving into the book 📚 before catching the movie 🎦 . I've heard 👂 so many great things about the book 📚 !#Book2Movie (edited) 4mo

lynneamch @KadaGul Lots of negative things about the book too. BookRiot has a list of 15 books to read instead including this one that @Chelsea.Poole posted about 4mo
KadaGul @lynneamch What do you think ? about the book ? ? If it will be tough on my soul, I can add it to the bottom of my "To Be Read" list.#BOTTOMOFTBR 4mo
LiseWorks @KadaGul it is on my TBR list I haven't read it yet. But it's a memoir I don't usually read that genre 4mo
lynneamch @KadaGul I chose not to read it after many reviews like this one https://www.statepress.com/article/2020/04/specho-review-hillbilly-elegy?ref=404...
So many books, so little time. Right?

KadaGul @lynneamch Thank you 🙏 for letting me know. I'll just watch the movie 🎦 & call it a day. The book 📚 ill put in LFL. 4mo

Mehso-so

I‘ve had this on my physical TBR shelf since 2011, (at least) and my Goodreads TBR since 2014. I think I would have enjoyed this much more if I was younger-I found the constant navel gazing and the YA Movie Tropes to be annoying. Most of the side characters were flat and I hated how two of the girls were written like mean girl tropes, nothing else. At least it‘s off my TBR. 😅

Last quarter check-in for #booked2020 . I completed it! I am glad to have done it as it made me read out of my wheelhouse a little (gothic horror 😅) and I tried my best to read off my own shelves.
Looking forward to 2021!

Pickpick

A group of female coworkers decide to take a stand against a culture of sexual harassment and chauvinism in the office. The writing was great, and all of the characters so perfectly complemented each other. Can‘t believe I let this sit on my TBR for so long! #Booked2020 pick for #BottomofTBR

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great pick! I love when that last, last book on the list is terrific! 4y
Cinfhen This was a real page turner!! I enjoyed it too 😄 4y

Bailedbailed

I‘m calling it quits. I enjoyed Zadie Smith‘s earlier works but this book is just boring. Two not so interesting girls doing nog so interesting things in a world of music and glamour. I know that the story will move on to West Africa and that might add a lot but I can‘t be bothered any longer.

#Booked2020 #BottomOfTBR

JennyM Sometimes you just have to move on. I‘m a bit hit and miss with Zadie, and haven‘t felt drawn to this one 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
BarbaraBB @JennyM Me too. I liked White Teeth and On Beauty but this one didn‘t work for me at all. 4y
ephemeralwaltz I love this photo, though! 4y

Cinfhen Love the photo too😍This book was a snooze and I did a lot of audio fast forwarding.....it wasn‘t worth the hours I spent listening/ reading 😞Bailing was a good call 4y
Megabooks Agree!! I bailed too. Not her best. 4y
SamAnne I‘m with you. Fan of her other work. This one did not do it for me either. 4y
BarbaraBB @SamAnne @Cinfhen @Megabooks I combined audio and print to check if the other forward worked better but both were equally boring and dwelling I‘m sorry to say. Can‘t believe it was nominated for the #Bookerprize. 4y
Sace I've heard this often about this book. I have White Teeth, but I still haven't read it. 🙄 4y
BarbaraBB @Sace I did like White Teeth but my favorite is 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I really struggle with Zadie. And that‘s okay with me. We should bail if it feels right! 4y

Going to start this one for #bottomoftbr. It is the first book I added when I joined goodreads in 2013 and I bought the book when on my honeymoon in Hermanus, S. Africa in 2010. #booked2020

Ruthiella I read his memoir Mukiwa and really enjoyed it. 4y
Leftcoastzen That‘s the thing, real readers will eventually get to all those books on the TBR! And it‘s great when books trigger memories of life events large and small. 4y
paper.reveries Ohhhh this is a good challenge! 4y

Cinfhen How was the book??? 4y
Blaire @Cinfhen so I‘ve only read the intro...too many library holds and other shiny distractions. Still plan to finish it for the end of the year and book2020! 4y
Cinfhen I hear ya!! Enjoy those shiny distractions 💜😊 4y
