Planet of Twilight: Star Wars Legends | Barbara Hambly

pan

Last few Star Wars books have been the same damn plot--kidnap, rescue, lots of close calls. It's been like reading a season of The A-Team.

Best Friends, Occasional Enemies: The Lighter Side of Life as a Mother and Daughter | Lisa Scottoline, Francesca Serritella

so-so

Very similar to their other collection: My Nest Isn't Empty...
Cute, and lighthearted, but I felt like I'd already read it.

dabbe I loved the movie with Angela Lansbury as the evil mother. I never tried the book, though, and now I definitely won't! 😂 3w

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I think I'd rather watch the movie! 😱 The story sounds intriguing, but the writing is word salad galore 😖 Also--HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU!!! 🎊💙🎊🥳💙 3w

An angsty and sweet love story. And can I just say, both sets of parents are parenting goals!

bookandbedandtea I've been meaning to read this. I love hearing that there are good parents in it. 3w

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It was a refreshing change to read such good parents!! It's a very quick read, if that helps to slot in your schedule. 3w

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Refreshing is exactly what I was thinking. As a parent, it sometimes gets tedious to read about so many awful parents. 😣 3w

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It does 3w

Reggie I saw the author at a bookstore and he said that one of the nicest comments he ever got was from a mom who got flowers from her son after he read his book because he said she was an awesome mom. 3w

TheBookgeekFrau @Reggie That's awesome 💞 3w

The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir | Isabel Allende

so-so

Not my favorite of her memoirs. As it is a memoir of her family tribe there was just so much going on with all the various family members that the writing felt choppy. I did very much love the tribe living though; and if I could, I too would have my whole family within a six block radius.

Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books | Azar Nafisi

so-so

The history of Iran just before, and following the revolution was interesting. I didn't care for the writing, however; and it was too long.

julieclair Did it make you sad? Angry? Frustrated? I‘m interested in reading this, but I‘m not sure I‘m up for it right now. So I‘m wondering how you felt… 1mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair The first 1/4 or so made me so depressed I wanted to vomit from hopelessness. But as I read on, I felt more thoughtful and hopeful. Some of my initial reaction has a bit of a personal bend to it. Hope that helps 😊 1mo

Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

TieDyeDude Agreed. I read it pretty soon after reading Rebecca, and it was fun to compare the two. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude That had to be a fun comparison! There were some definite Rebecca vibes; a little Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and even some VC Andrews vibes, too 2mo
