We Could Be Rats: A Novel | Emily Austin

pick

Last book I read in January. I‘ve enjoyed all of her novels, this one maybe a bit less than the others. Austin has a special ability to relate vulnerability and despair with such gentleness and humor. A very special writer! Triggers for suicidal ideation. #BOTM

LoverOfLearning What a fun cover! 4d

We Could Be Rats: A Novel | Emily Austin

so-so

I didn‘t like the twists and turns tbh. By time I got to the 3rd part of the book I was pretty spent. I wanted to relate to the characters more than I did. There was some endearing parts. This book was just OK to me. #botm

This book brought up some feels. I wish I could write that I never experienced being on the surviving side of someone‘s suicide and those notes, but like so many that would not be my story.

Butterfinger I have no words of comfort, except I am sorry that you had to live it. I know that these words are not enough. 3w

AnnCrystal 🫂🙏💝. 3w

marleed @Butterfinger @AnnCrystal Awww thank you. It‘s now been enough minute that I‘m able to think about all of that time with clarity and compassion. I know firsthand how important it is to recognize the impact of suicide and attempts of suicide on those who love the victim, and this book speaks to that. 3w

AnnCrystal @marleed there are always unanswered questions, but it is difficult because the ones who truly need help usually hide their struggle too well 🫂😘💝💝. 3w

Dashwood Sisters' Secrets of Love | Rosie Rushton

Here are the retellings I'm hoping to tackle this month for the #JaneAustenThenAndNow read: spicy S&S in a beach town, an S&S murder mystery, a polarizing modern version, and three YA takes because dang it, I love YA. Authors Rosie Rushton and Staci Hart have adapted all of Austen's novels, and while I've read Rushton's before, Hart's are new to me. We'll see how this goes...! Anyone else out there looking for some S&S-adjacent reads for February?

eeclayton I've read the Trollope, I'll be curious to see what you think. This month, I'm going to try

Jane of Austin: A Novel of Sweet Tea and Sensibility

Bookwormjillk I‘m going to read the Trollope. I read it when it first came out but I want to read it again. 3w

Andrea313 @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk Did you like the Trollope? Reviews online are mixed so I'm not sure what to expect! And I definitely want to hear @eeclayton 's thoughts on Jane of Austin! I'm curious about it, but too many books and too little time... 3w

bookandbedandtea These all look good! I have one overlap on my list. 3w

Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea Which one will we both be reading? 3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Oooh. I like this list. Also think S&S lends itself to YA. 3w

bookandbedandtea

Sex, Lies and Sensibility

Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, definitely! A roadmap for "coming of age" stories. 3w

Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea I'm starting it today! Hope we both enjoy. 🧡🧡 3w

eeclayton @Andrea313 I didn't like the Trollope, but I hope it'll work better for you! 3w

Bookwormjillk @Andrea313 I was meh about the Trollope, but I didn‘t read them back to back. I‘m thinking having the original top of mind will improve it. 3w
