Tom Lake: A Novel | Ann Patchett
post image
Pickpick

This was a beautiful read and only cements what I already knew - Ann Patchett is one of my favorite writers. I found myself thinking more than once how lovely it would be to live in an orchard, or near one - but I think I‘d be disappointed to find that I wouldn‘t be living with the Nelson family 😂 #tbrtarot #flowersoncover

TheBookHippie Here‘s a tip -don‘t do it in northern Michigan 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. 6mo
CBee @TheBookHippie hahaha exactly the setting of this book too 😂😂 6mo
AmyG Exactly! I wanted to be one of the daughters. 6mo

CBee @AmyG me too! This might be my favorite of hers - but I also loved The Dutch House so so much. 6mo
JamieArc @AmyG I wanted to be one of her daughters as well! 6mo
AmyG @CBee yes, The Dutch House comes in a close second for me. @JamieArc Ha, right? 6mo
TheBookHippie @CBee yes I know -it gives me hives just thinking about it. (edited) 6mo
Billypar I've only read Bel Canto and State of Wonder and I thought the two were so different that I wouldn't have even guessed the same author wrote them if I didn't know. But I liked them both for different reasons. 6mo
CBee @TheBookHippie oh my - stop thinking about it 🫢😂 6mo
CBee @Billypar I highly recommend The Dutch House as well! And of course Tom Lake 😊 I haven‘t read Bel Canto but loved State of Wonder. 6mo
peaKnit I‘ve listened to this audio twice, it‘s just so lovely. 6mo
Reggie ❤️❤️❤️Emily! I loved this book. 6mo
AmyG @CBee You haven‘t read Bel Canto? I thought you did. It‘s…ok. @Reggie 👊🏻❤️ 6mo
CBee @AmyG I know, it seems odd I haven‘t read it - I tried to a couple of times and I‘m not sure why it didn‘t stick. I sent it to you instead 😂😂 6mo
CBee @Reggie 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️♥️♥️ 6mo
CBee @peaKnit I‘ve heard the audio is amazing! 6mo
AmyG @CBee Ha! I thought you read it before sending it to me. 🤣 6mo
CBee @AmyG nope 🫢🫢😂😂 6mo
peaKnit I literally use this audio book to lull me back to sleep, Meryl Streep‘s voice put my nervous system into neutral🩷. (edited) 6mo
CBee @peaKnit wow, that‘s great! 6mo
Amiable Loved this book! And @AmyG , I thought I was the only one who wasn‘t totally enamored with “Bel Canto.” 😄 5mo

Early last year a friend of mine was getting his mother‘s house ready to sell, and he recruited several friends to help him. There was a lot of stuff! Some went to Goodwill, some went to the dump, and some went home with his friends. I got some wrapping paper, a step stool, and this book about local gardens.

#WindsOfMarch Day 6: #FlowersOnCover. I like how the formidable artist Frida Kahlo has been humanized even more through Anholt‘s story: Frida‘s tenderness towards Mariana; how she told her confidences, even those that are not ordinarily told to a young girl. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j59

Eggs 👏🏻📚🌺👏🏻 4y

The Lowland | Jhumpa Lahiri

I like the story as well as writing style of Lahiri. I love her vivid description & development of characters.But the story was too lengthy. I enjoyed the part set in India but the later half of the book was a tiresome read. Communist activity background was interesting. Overall it‘s in between pick & so-so read 3🌟/5🌟

It was read in 2020 as a part of #readingwithmaja #November prompt. #flowersoncover

Cinfhen Gorgeous edition/ my cover was certainly not that beautiful 4y

Little Women | Louisa May Alcott
post image

I was 7 the first time my grandmother read Little Women to me. Since that day I've read this book more than any other. It is where I return when the world robs me of my joy of reading, or when I need to be reminded of the unbreakable bond we can form with those we love. Because sometimes in life we just need a good book to make everything okay again.

Do you love Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally? If so, you will love this book. Told mostly in dialogue, the two actors describe how they met and how they have made their relationship work. They are pretty much the most adorable couple on the planet. This book isn‘t literary genius but it left me with a smile on my face. I laughed many times and came to love them even more. Comes out October of this year.

JenP @britt_brooke I think I have your address so will send it on to you today or tomorrow depending on when I get to the post office. BTW there was one page ripped out (I‘m assuming the publishers did this before handing them out) so one chapter has a final page removed 😥 (edited) 6y
Cinfhen Woohoo🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷you‘re killing it 6y
britt_brooke @JenP Thank you SO much!! 🤗 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage That‘s a LOT of flowers on the cover. Good pick!! 6y
