Finished this book for #Litsybookclub. It‘s about how a current day single mother might navigate her new life. My older sister couldn‘t finish it- she couldn‘t relate to it. I maybe related more since my single mom daughter of 5 yo twins lives with us. I also enjoyed Elle Fanning narrating it. Can‘t wait to discuss with Bookclub

Prairiegirl_reading That‘s one of my favourites of the year. 5d
Daisey This is one of those books that I couldn‘t necessarily relate to well, but it gave me a lot to think about. I enjoyed it and think it will be interesting to discuss. 5d
Lesliereadsalot I liked this one. Not great literature or anything, but it kept my interest. 5d

When I first heard about this book, it did not sound like one I would pick up, but it also received many positive reviews so I was intrigued. I‘m glad I gave it a listen. Margo doesn‘t always make great choices, but she works to do the best that she can and grows through her experiences. I especially appreciated the relationship she built with her father.

Daisey I also found the changing point of view in this book interesting. 2w

The Glassmaker: A Novel | Tracy Chevalier

I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a glassmaking family through time. The way in which it skips through time while focusing on the same family is a fascinating storytelling technique, and it includes so many interesting details about glassmaking in Murano and the history of Venice.

Much of this book is set in Tokyo‘s book district which sounds like a fascinating place, and it had an interesting cast of characters. It was a fairly quiet and enjoyable read, but I don‘t think it‘s one that will stick with me.

tpixie I agree. Today I was just thinking it‘s a nice, quiet read. Im tempted, because I‘m a “completist” , but I‘m not likely to read 3mo
Graciouswarriorprincess I agree with you both @Daisey and @tpixie . I will probably read the second book. 3mo

I finished this over the weekend, and then I almost forgot to review it. I found some parts interesting, but overall I‘m just ambivalent about the whole thing. I will be curious to see if our book club discussion gives me any greater appreciation for it.

Ruthiella I was underwhelmed too. Which made me sad, because I loved here debut 4mo
Daisey @Ruthiella Good to know, but unless I have a specific reason, I probably won‘t be picking up another of her books. 4mo

What defines a Real American?
A multigenerational story told by 3 points of view. Looking at parent- child relationships, ethnic backgrounds vs citizenship, with a slight sci- fi twist.

This book was a fascinating read. There were times I was a bit confused by the different timelines, but I was always curious to know how they would come together. It has some wonderful descriptions, and I felt so much for these characters. We also had a great book club discussion about it.

Just started listening to The History of Love for @LitsyBookClub & I know I‘m going to love it.
The first few lines are great.
Funny thing is, the narrator, George Guidall, narrated Stephen King‘s The Dark Tower series. So I keep thinking about Stephen King. And SK would write like this also!!

Daisey I hope to get into this one this weekend! 5mo
tpixie @Daisey I‘ve just started but I think you picked a great one! 🏆 5mo
