I spent last evening with Kent Haruf's reflective book, Our Souls at Night. It was a five-star read packed into a short 148 pages. Haruf draws the reader simply and sweetly through the lives of two older people, like a spoon through caramel. Addie and Louis are universal characters, and could exist in any community and be any color or creed.

Full review at www.TheBibliophage.com

Tamra Agreed! I always enjoy Haruf and this too was no exception. I listened to it and the narration is very good. I was saddened by the ending, not how it was written, but for the characters. This is not your typical love story. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Tamra This was my first Haruf, but not my last. I think the ending showed the true complexity of life - very bittersweet. It was more of a story about love than a love story. If that makes sense ... 7y
Tamra @BarbaraTheBibliophage yes, complete sense. That's a better description. 7y

jetspins24 I just watched the movie on Netflix. Very, very good adaptation! 7y

kspenmoll Loved this book; your review is lovely. 7y
kspenmoll @jetspins24 Did not know it is a movie; thanks! 7y
Louise ". . . like a spoon through caramel." Lovely description! Reminds me of a line by Truman Capote about a woman who had a voice "like melted chocolate"! 7y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In today's #blameitonlitsy review, is this quiet gem of a book. Following the course of one woman's life from Morocco to Ethiopia to London, it discusses faith, love, political struggles, diaspora, and the refugee experience. Best of all, the main character is lovably screwed up and very human.

Zelma I need to look this one up again. Had planned on reading it for a long time, then it fell off my radar. 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Zelma It's worth it! 8y
Zelma @BarbaraTheBibliophage ok, ok, stacked on TBR. 😋 8y

#TBRTemptation As I was browsing an #indie #bookstore today, I found a few good reading ideas. Here's the first. Stories of people who are rebuilding post-Katrina New Orleans with their own hands, despite the government's flawed policies. I admit, I noticed it for the title, which could be an anthem for so many people.

#nonfiction #readingunderthelitfluence

KVanRead That is a great title! 8y
Clare-Dragonfly I love the title. 8y

As one bookseller put it, I do have eclectic taste. The Patriots and The Radium Girls are on my NetGalley shelf. Into The Fire is pure escapism of my favorite kind. And I'm super excited for the other two based on her past work and an interview I heard him give. #2017mostanticipated #seasonsreadings2016 #happybibliophage #eclectictasteinbooks

Y'ALL I HAVE A PROBLEM. I have ebooks checked out, books I own that I need to read, books for school, and books for work I need to finish. And yet... I return from the library like this. 😓

mllemay I'm the same way - it's a compulsion! 8y
Theresa I think that's a problem many of us share. 😅 8y
LauraBeth That's a nice haul - you better get reading 🤓 8y

AmyS @sprainedbrain Yes! I've always had this problem but it's gotten soooooo much worse since I joined Litsy. 8y
Theresa Amen, @sprainedbrain ! Litsy is totally enabling!! #blameitonlitsy 8y
AWahle And then you have to prioritize by due date and whether or not you can renew. We hear you! 📚📚📚😊 8y
HollyB3 @KatrinaRose at least you know you're in good company! 😉 8y

katrrosee Haha you're all just a bunch of enablers! 💛 8y
