MEAN SPIRIT | Linda Hogan

pick

Mean Spirit is better!! Or maybe, I can suggest that if you liked/appreciated Grann‘s NF book: Killers of the Flower Moon, you must please seek out Mean Spirit to get a fabulously told story with heart & grit with the Indigenous Peoples perspective.

(In further study, FYI, Hogan was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize with Mean Spirit.)

Liz_M I read this years ago, well before Killers of the Flower Moon was a thing. Eye opening and well written! 4w

BkClubCare @Liz_M - thank you for your comment. I was introduced to this title when the movie for Flower Moon was being discussed somewhere online 😉 and was said to be BETTER. I am looking forward to it. 4w

QUESTION??? Do you think JOY is a virtue? To satisfy a challenge category…

Ruthiella No. It is an emotion. Sorry. 2mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - no apology needed. Is JOYFUL a virtue? Is the word “TRUE” able to fit a virtue category? (If yes, I can read

This Much is True

(edited) 2mo

SpellboundReader I've seen virtue defined as 'an inherent character trait.' So I guess it depends on if you consider being joyful, a character trait? 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

Ephemera Is the painting by Thomas Hart Benton? 2mo

BkClubCare @Ephemera - maybe?! I forgot to note it and couldn‘t find when I searched. But I do recall thinking Benton, but NO. Of course, I could be misremembering THAT, too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

The Authenticity Project | Clare Pooley

pick

I adored Iona Iverson‘s Rules for Commuting and so I knew I wanted to read the author‘s book just prior. EXACTLY my favorite kind of book! This is another “found family”, great lovable characters, assumptions made, kindness needed, and a happy hopeful ending.

Am giving this a pick but it stressed me out; one reason is that it made me sad, I appreciated the humor and knew I should and would usually love this kind of humor but my mood this month did NOT match what I am sure was a lovely read. All that to say, I am glad to close this & move on. The ending was kind of lovely. #LitsyToB24 #WiaN2024 Category: Double Letters #ReadICT Category: a book I meant to read last year

Ruthiella Sorry to hear that! That‘s the drawback to reading ToB books. You can‘t easily set them aside and read later…😕 3mo

BarbaraBB You did read it fast though! 3mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - it didn‘t feel like it! 😂 I read two other books while avoiding this one and I am way off my pace of 7-10 books a month 😳 3mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - drat those ToB chunksters 3mo
