The Wedding People: A Novel | Alison Espach

So the other day, I was anticipating The Repeat Room would be on the long list and so I used 1 credit and then I found out it‘s not on the list so I was able to return it. Yay! (I find Jesse Ball a little bit perplexing.)

sarahbarnes I agree with you on Jesse Ball. 2d

squirrelbrain Great when you can send them back…they wouldn‘t let me with the last one I tried with - must have returned too many. 😬 (edited) 1d

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - Yes, I was relieved. It has been a long time since I have attempted to return one. Is it so many per year? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 1d

BkClubCare @sarahbarnes 👍 1d

squirrelbrain I‘m not sure - I rarely return but had sent a couple back recently. The one I tried but failed was Glorious Exploits - I just couldn‘t get on with it. I might try again as I‘m a completist so I suppose that‘s a positive of not being able to return it. 🤣 1d

Very similar to Backman‘s Ove, but from the POV of a middle aged woman. Phoebe is not as boring as she presents, she‘s very witty and very likeable . Heavy content, but many comedic moments that make it an easy read. Book #100 in 2024

Finished reading this before the election. I was trying to read an easy breezy novel and this fit the bill. A woman goes to a hotel to end her life and quickly becomes unexpectedly enmeshed in a week-long wedding party. This was funnier than I expected and had a great trajectory for the main character. A pleasant read with an abysmal cover.

BarbaraBB Looks like such a fun read! I know @Megabooks loved it! 2w

Cabbagetown: The Classic Novel of the Depression in Canada | Hugh Garner

#FoodandLit #Canada I made Cabbage Rolls it is unclear as to who invented this lovely dish, but we do have a lot of Ukrainian immigrants that came to Canada in the early 1900 s. I learned how to make it from a French Canadian lady. The recipe is very easy.
1. Cook beef with onions and add beef broth pouch until cooked. Cook rice separately. Mix the two together and add soya sauce. Don't be cheap but taste. ⬇️

LiseWorks Add cayenne peper to spice it up. Put the mix in leaves of cabbage and roll to put in casserole dish. Take a can of Campbells tomato soup. Mix with full can of water and mix. Sladder all over cabbage rolls and put cover on it and bake in over until cabbage is cooked. Serve with sour cream 😋 2w

Catsandbooks Tasty! 🇨🇦 2w

Texreader Positive I‘d love this (other than the cayenne) 2w

LiseWorks @Texreader the cayenne is a personal choice. It is something I decided one day to add and now my family likes it lol 2w

Dilara I had something pretty similar in Hungary 😁 https://budapestcookingclass.com/hungarian-stuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe-toltott-...
I guess every country where cabbage grows would have its own take on the dish 😁 1w

LiseWorks @Dilara, this is the recipe my mom used to do with the rice uncooked with tomato sauce. But when I made mine for my dad, he loved mine more than my mom's. The campbell soup has spices in it that give it flavor, and yes, everyone has their own take on how to make them. I had some in Saskatchewan, and theirs had sausage in it. 1w

This came recommended by one of my book group members - and they were right, I loved it! This fancy Newport boutique hotel is both the scene where one woman plans on ending her life, and where another is holding her extravagant 6 day wedding celebration. They become unexpected confidants, and change each other‘s lives. #bookspinbingo #doublespin

Bell Jar | Sylvia Plath

Have always been a bit hesitant to read The Bell Jar. Any tips/experiences, folks?

Ft. Pretty handmade bookmark from my friend to help with it❤️

Vansa It's a very accessible, quick read(unlike some of Plath's poems).Its not a comfortable read though and you have to keep in mind that a genuinely deeply depressed person is writing this,or it can sound entitled.Definitely worth reading 3w

mavey @Vansa It hasn't been an easy read at all, yes Vansa. Thank you! I take a breather in between pages to get through 3w
