pickAn odd format, described as a novel but containing much biography and thoughts on the life of a writer. Thoroughly enjoyable mostly but the literary critical segments sometimes get a little convoluted. Definite pick though.
pickThis book was a ton of fun!
Many years ago (like when I was 12 or 13) I read one of the author‘s other books, Bergdorf Blondes, and remember enjoying it. It‘s no surprise that I loved this one!
This book is like Crazy Rich Asians but with rich Brits in the English countryside. I am a sucker for books about rich people.

#Pemberlittens what are you reading?
pickThis lacked the humor of Middlemarch, but overall I‘m not mad I read it. A light pick. #hashtagbrigade
pickI thank all the gods we have evolved from this puritanical codswallop than rams societal expectations down our throats and calls it literature. I am ENRAGED at this ending
pickI couldn‘t wait any longer. I had a long drive yesterday and my schedule the next few days is chaotic, so I finished the last few chapters. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and I appreciated the discussion to note some details I would have otherwise missed. It was also an often frustrating read, and my heart hurt for Maggie in that it never seemed she had good options from which to choose.

pickMurdoch is for me an acquired taste and only to be enjoyed in measure. She‘s impossible to read quickly.
This is farce set in late sixties London, Bradley Pearson is a retired civil servant and unsuccessful novelist. Told from his POV, which is questionable, it‘s what happens when instead of writing his magnum opus, his life falls apart, with no little help from his own ineptitude, jealousy, and solipsism. Wickedly funny at times and quite dark.
