Cinfhen
An American Marriage | Tayari Jones
post image

#AbbaInAugust One of my favorite reads in 2018, Roy & Celestial have an unbreakable bond until life throws them a curve ball they never saw coming. Initially told through letters the reader discovers their family history, personal plights and unseen burdens. #LayAllYourLoveOnMe Never before have I felt so conflicted for two characters. Excellent novel🙌🏻

Kalalalatja I loved it! It was worth all the hype 👏👏 6y
BookishMe this was meant to be my choice for #OneofUs but I had missed the prompt ;D 6y
BookishMe @Kalalalatja I totally Agree! 6y

Cinfhen That would have worked @BookishMe but then I would have had to think of something else for today so PHEW !! 6y
BookishMe Hahaha 6y
TrishB Good pick 👍🏻 on my to buy list! 6y
Cinfhen It‘s definitely worth buying @TrishB I‘d send u my copy but it was already gifted 💗 6y
TrishB No worries! I‘ve had it in my list since you first reviewed it - I‘m waiting for it to go below (c8 as that‘s my internal price barrier for non fav/known authors! 6y
Cinfhen Makes sense @TrishB I do that too!! Eventually it will get there 😁 6y
Mdargusch Great review! Stacking. 6y
Reviewsbylola Yes! I could easily understand both their feelings. I was so conflicted! 6y
emilyhaldi Perfect!!! I am a forever Tayari Jones fan after this book 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 6y

Mehso-so

This novel‘s strength lies with the author‘s obvious passion for nature- these descriptions lushly bring the North Carolina wetlands to life over the course of the Marsh Girl‘s life... the mystery plot keeps the pages turning but there are some historical inconsistencies and characters that don‘t always feel fully developed that stop this from being a true pick for me... but the main character certainly never feels like #OneOfUs in her small town!

Mdargusch I agree! I love the photo. I‘m stacking though because it sounds intriguing. 6y
Reviewsbylola The setting sounds fantastic. 6y
TorieStorieS @Meredith3 @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola Thanks!! It‘s definitely not a bad book- it‘s out next week and definitely would be interested in hearing what you think!! 😊😊😊 6y
TorieStorieS @Cinfhen Thanks!! I actually had similarly mixed feelings about the author‘s memoir of living in Africa- nine years ago! 6y

#abbainaugust

When twins Cath and Wren head off for college, Wren decides they should live apart for the first time. The outcome is that #oneofus is lonely and #oneofus fits in just fine.
I really liked this YA novel for a light read capturing how it feels to be an awkward first year. Ah the memories! 😂Tower in pic is from my own university😊

emilyhaldi Perfect book for this prompt 🤗 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve enjoyed her books that I‘ve read. I‘ll have to try this one! 6y

There is a lot to consider packed this little novella. A young man's family rises from the slums of Bangalore to the rich neighborhood in a matter of weeks and the family dynamic shifts irrevocably. As the young man marries and brings his wife into his tightly knit family, suddenly it becomes clear that she is not #oneofus and therefore may not ever fit in... an unsettling story!

Reviewsbylola Never heard of this one. 6y
Mdargusch Me either @Reviewsbylola so is it scary? 6y
emilyhaldi Not scary @Mdargusch just foreboding 6y

#OneofUs here at the apartment is very happy that the #tbrshelf is filled out again. The other, not so much. I‘ll let you guess who 😉

alisiakae 😂😂😂 6y
Reviewsbylola My husband and I each have our own bookshelf but he rarely reads and I‘m so tempted to steal some of his shelves. His are 3/4 full whereas mine has books piled in front of it and on top of it! 😂😂 6y
Kalalalatja @Reviewsbylola my bf has close to one shelf. He‘s really not a reader, he reads 1-2 books a year om vacation, so I don‘t feel bad about taking up the space 😂😂 although he vetoed it being only books, so I had to accept some decorations as well 🙄 6y

emilyhaldi You are blessed to be able to keep your tbr books so contained!! 🙌🏻 6y
Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi my bf and I have a deal, that I can‘t exceed 30 unread, owned, print books, and I‘m really, really trying to honour that deal. Being low on cash helps too 😄😄 6y
emilyhaldi Wow good for you!! 👏🏻 I'm not going to mention that compromise to my husband lest he think it should be applied in our household 😅 6y
Reviewsbylola That‘s so funny because my shelf is all books, while my husbands has a lot of pictures on it. He clearly has the space and I do not. 😂😂 6y
Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi the things you do for love 😉🙄 but when we get a house in the future that deal is out the window 💨 6y
Mdargusch I like how you organize your books! 😂 6y

#AbbaInAugust #OneOfUs

When I was little I wanted so bad to be a hero of the Lance! 😤

I used to play for hours in the bush behind our house fighting Draconians and searching for dragon orbs. 🏡 😂 🐉

Come to think of it...I still want to go to Krynn and hang out at the Inn of The Last Home in Solace and eat some of Otik's spiced potatoes... 🤔🙋‍♂️

@Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @Meredith3 @emilyhaldi @Cinfhen
