Bless Me, Ultima | Rudolfo Anaya

I took AP English during the time covered by the survey! Don‘t ask me what we read, because I don‘t remember. It wasn‘t any of these books, though. Still, I think of it as one of the best classes I took in high school. All 12/100 books are ones I read as an adult. Highlights:
1. Anna Karenina
2. Bless Me, Ultima
3. The Cider House Rules

dabbe This list only went from A-C! I bet there will be more coming that you have read--hopefully, me, too! 😂 It was one of my hardest courses in high school, but I learned so much! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 21h

Remembering Santa Fe | Willard F Clark

I keep forgetting to share my November reading wrap up! I haven‘t read 4 books in one month in awhile so yay! But I hope I can top that this month.

DogMomIrene Cool graphic! And you read 30 out of 30 days, which is impressive to me. I can get super moody around reading, so I skip days when what I should do is try a different book. 2mo

PaperbackPirate Thank you @DogMomIrene ! This year I started eating lunch alone to avoid a toxic coworker so I usually get at least a few pages in during my break. 😅 I hope your new strategy helps. 1mo

Remembering Santa Fe | Willard F Clark

pick

Part art book/part memoir, this beautiful little book shows us Santa Fe as it was 100 years ago, and laments how it‘s changed in the following 60 years. A lovely little time machine.

Assumption: A Novel | Percival Everett

pick

The title of this book couldn‘t have been better. This is one of Percival Everett‘s earlier novels and it reads like a literary thriller. Protagonist Ogden Walker is deputy sheriff in a small town, solving crimes and driving around. I knew there had to be more to it - this is Everett after all. So I started making assumptions.
What a clever book. Read it!

Bookpearl He‘s been on my radar! I think I may grab a copy and read this week. 4mo

sarahbarnes Another great review of an Everett! Stacking. 4mo

BarbaraBB @Bookpearl I‘d be interested to hear your thoughts! 4mo

New Mexico, 1930s.

kspenmoll 🔼 inspired painting process,her inner life & the emotional upheaval she is dealing with, at her husband‘s,photographer Alfred Stieglitz,affair, is nothing but masterful. Her time alone painting in New Mexico gave her the solace she needed to heal. I feel as if I cannot do justice to this book‘s review-it captivated me on so many levels that I cannot express.
