I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I'm pretty sure I've gushed about Ellen Gilchrist before on Litsy, so I won't now, except to say that I've never read anyone else who can show me characters this full and terrible and I still love them. They're real. There's no other way to say it.

While I haven't read a biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine, whatever kind of reader this is, I'm it.

In August 1944, Frankie is 12 with no mother and a soldier brother who is about to marry before shipping out. McCullers perfectly captures that in between time when you‘re still a kid but starting to see parts of the world differently. I don‘t usually like child narrators, but I thought this was terrific.

900 hundred pages of Faulkner is a lot. This is the 1951 National Book Award winner, but I didn‘t think it was good sample of Faulkner‘s stuff. It doesn‘t show, in my opinion, how could he can be. But it does occasionally show how frustrating he can be. Unfortunately I was beaten down by this. My favorite stories are at the end (some of which are his earliest stories), but i was kind of worn out by that point.

A cozy mystery with a group of characters who were mostly like-able. Small town Mississippi is the setting. The story was okay. The first in a series, but I don‘t believe I‘ll read the rest. I prefer a bit more depth in stories, but not bad for a lighter. 3.25/5⭐️
