All Quiet on the Western Front: A Novel | Erich Maria Remarque

Starting the actual novel this time. 🤣
Maybe I should have brushed Esther before having her model with book… #WW1lit #Classic #CC50_part2 #ClassicsClub #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #WiaN2023 QXZ category

batsy Her expression 😁💜 1y

dabbe If looks could ... talk! She's rockin' the shag haircut that everyone seems to be getting these days! Esther the Influencer! ❣️🐾❣️ 1y

BkClubCare @dabbe - I am sure she would roll her eyes at you for that (but secretly quite pleased you acknowledge her importance.) She is more cat like as she ages?! She is 12 1y

The Optimist's Daughter | Eudora Welty

So very much to think about!! Wow. Packs a punch and not only because it is about grief but about personality, society expectations (and burdens) and perception. Would be a terrific book club book IF you have a trusting group to share personal honest discussions. (I do not 😕)
Sharing the bloom of my Christmas Cactus and another #BookSpinBingo 4th row. Should still get 2 more! 🎉
Who‘s read this Welty? What did you think?

Ruthiella I read it a few years ago and found it OK. I felt like I must have missed something, because readers rave about Welty and I couldn‘t. 2y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella 😊 I found your excellent goodreads review. 2y

The Optimist's Daughter | Eudora Welty

What‘s better than receiving a postcard out of the blue and finding the referenced quote a few days later? Not much, a few things, maybe; these are the simple joys that delight. The universe reinforcing my reading choices! #CC50 #Cc50_part2

Ruthiella Bookish serendipity! 🤩 2y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - AND?! Reacher just mentioned “Eudora Welty” 2y

The Optimist's Daughter | Eudora Welty

I have to honest, I seriously had a moment of cold emptiness in my gut when I realized that I wasn‘t sure what my next book was to be. 😱 Then I remembered I have my Bingo card to guide me. I am choosing the novella* by Welty and not just because it sits ready nor because it is short, and a classic, and it won the Pulitzer AND fave author A.Patchett cites her as an influence. But because ALL of this together. #CC50_part2 #ClassicsClub

BkClubCare Novella means 2y

BkClubCare Have I mentioned I know ZERO what it is about? 😊 2y

Sapphire Great book, wonderful classic southern offer. I pick up a different Welty title every time I visit square books in Oxford. 2y

BkClubCare @Sapphire - OH! Mississippi is one of the two states I need to visit. 2y

Sapphire @BkClubCare I highly recommend a weekend “on the square” in Oxford. Square books, great restaurants, visit Rowan Oaks and walk the property. I can‘t make the Oxford festival of the book this year, but really hoping for next year. I do avoid football weekends because I hate crowds but seeing the grove at ole miss with all the tailgate tents is something to behold. Plus you can always run into a Grisham if that is your thing. 2y

BkClubCare @Sapphire - and I have a friend I would love to visit. Looks like she is 2.5 hours from Oxford, tho. Thanks!! (edited) 2y

AFridayFriend I need a bingo card! And I am on Litsy… I just haven‘t been on Litsy for months and months. I‘m gonna have to get in the swing of it again. 2y

BkClubCare @AFridayFriend MY FRIDAY FRIEND!!!! 2y
