The Rachel Incident: A novel | Caroline O'Donoghue

Pickpick

Today brings you a tale of 2 #toblonglist titles because for both I found the MC to be extremely relatable… but for the tagged, this meant the 20-something self-involvedness & resulting life implosion was cringe but i rooted for her; & yet the American Mermaid mc is making me want to hide in shared shame and bail... Weird how that shared characteristic is affecting me so differently. Does AM get more fun, all yall who've read it for #tob2024?

Larkken Otherwise, this looks like a clear case of #litsytob2024 supremacy over the official Tob list😅 9mo
BarbaraBB @Larkken 🙌🏽 9mo
squirrelbrain Hooray - #litsytob2024 for the win! I haven‘t read AM, but loved The Rachel Incident. 9mo
Larkken @squirrelbrain i thought RI did as well as anything I‘ve read depicting the complicated feelings over an unwanted pregnancy and its loss and then I loved that it ended on a sweet note, so def a win for me ☺️ 9mo
BkClubCare Same!! I gave RI a 5⭐️ but just couldn‘t seem to get into AM and yet… yet! It seemed like one I would like! My reading mojo is super confused anymore. 9mo

#LitsyToB2024 I lived in NYC for several years and I usually enjoy books about the place I used to call home. I really couldn‘t get into this one though. I listened to the audiobook and I didn‘t care for the narrator. And the plot was very slow.

BarbaraBB I wasn‘t much of a fan either. 10mo

I hit my goal 120 books in 2023, including a handful of chunksters. If I counted correctly, I think 39 of them were fiction, the rest were nonfiction, with a lot of biography, memoir, and essays. I have a bunch of fiction on tap for January between #AuldLangSpine with @JenReadsAlot and the #LitsyToB2024, though. Maybe this year the goal will be to hit 50,000 pages…

Ruthiella Great work! 👏👏👏 11mo

I was in a FLURRY when the TOB Long List was announced but it has taken to today for me to start again on figuring out how to read what for the next few months. I appreciate all of you here at Litsy giving me new avenues to read widely and deeply and having fun doing so. 🤩 Pictured is my paper tracking guide. 🥸 About to tackle a re-org of my gr bookshelves. And then look again at Libby 🥺

#LitsyToB2024 Tagged book on 14-day loan. #Hardcover

BarbaraBB The planning is part of the fun! Looking good 😊 11mo
