#Behindthewheel

Emily Dickinson reminds us that none of us can escape the eventual carriage ride of death. Her poem does what all great poetry does: provides a measure of calmness while contemplating the inevitable.

gradcat Nice collage! 6y
QueenPenguin I love that poem. It always makes me stop and think. 6y
Cartoom Emily Dickinson‘s life is part of the story Maria Popova tells in Figuring, covering several women of genius... for those interested in the person behind the poetry. 6y

Something beyond awful in this book happens #behindthewheel. Through jumps back and forth in time we learn about the events leading up to the episode and the consequences which follow after.

Cinfhen Good pick!!! Forgot about this book!!! Great photo 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Haven‘t read this but great pic! 6y
gradcat Sure is a nice-looking book, but I haven‘t read it either...what kind of person would I be if I read just because I love the cover?!? 😂 (edited) 6y

As far as #BOTM picks, this one was pretty mediocre. Not bad, also not a favorite. It instantly sprang to mind though when I saw today‘s #maymoviemagic prompt, #behindthewheel.

Mary and Hannah are two sisters set adrift, driving across the country to try to find a place to put down roots after their mother does in a car crash.

Cinfhen This is one I did not read. There were a lot of mediocre titles that year you took the #BOTMchallenge🙄 6y
RohitSawant Nice pick! 6y
Reviewsbylola They‘ve gotten even more mediocre imo. 😆 @Cinfhen 6y

gradcat Good pick, funny convo....bitter Betty? 😂 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve nicknamed myself Bitter Betty in regard to my newfound dislike of BOTM. 😆 @gradcat 6y
Megabooks I agree about it being mediocre, but I barely remember it. @Cinfhen There were generally 1-2/5 so-sos or pans for me a month, but I‘m still so glad I did it! 6y
Reviewsbylola Me too! @Megabooks I think we picked a great year to do it. I wouldn‘t be nearly as enthusiastic now. 6y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola That‘s a definite negatory! It‘s better than last year but not as good as 16-17!! 6y
gradcat @Reviewsbylola Love it! 😍 6y

“I sat there behind the wheel of my car, not sure what I should do, wishing I was someplace else, anyplace else, trying on shoes, filling out a credit application in a discount store, standing in front of a pay toilet stall with diarrhea and no dime. Anyplace, man. It didn‘t have to be Monte Carlo. Mostly I sat there wishing I was older.”

A Captain Mr. Darcy is behind the wheel when he kidnaps Elizabeth Bennet as she crosses the channel!

Cinfhen Yes, Please!!! This one sounds fun 6y
RohitSawant Ha, interesting! 6y
gradcat This sounds wild! 😜 6y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen @rohit-sawant @gradcat it was a fun, interesting, wild ride. Not quite how I‘d interpret Mr. Darcy, but the author gave the adaptation a nice storyline. 6y
rubyslippersreads Sounds like fun! 6y

I had The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in my hand at the bookstore last weekend, but I put it back, thinking that there was another Muriel Spark novel I wanted to read first. Had I checked my TBR, I would have realized it was this one. Intriguing plot involving a woman trying to escape both her life and general persona, leading to a drama while sitting between two men on an airplane (so, I guess title is a metaphor? 🤔)

Cinfhen I read this one last year. Very impressive and quite enjoyable. Thinking you‘d really like it, Vinnie 6y
BarbaraBB Great choice. I loved this book - and any by her! 6y

batsy I can't wait to read this! 6y
Billypar @Cinfhen I do really want to read it too- I should have still gotten it while I was at the shop- I was feeling frustratingly disciplined 😋 6y
Billypar @BarbaraBB I've only read her short stories, which she's not even know for as much, but they still made me want to read everything she's ever written. 6y
Billypar @batsy I would say 'me too', but apparently I've waited two years already 😳 #somanybookssolittletime 6y
Aimeesue Spark! ❤️❤️❤️ She's one of my favorites. I love Memento Mori - the audiobook is excellent. 6y
