The Enchanted April | Elizabeth Von Arnim

Four dissimilar women come together for a holiday in a small castle in Italy. And find they have a lot more in common than they thought.

Very, very slow story, & very character focused. Not a lot happens, but the way the setting was described was so gorgeous I just had to keep reading. Very much of its time, but I appreciated how changing their surroundings helped each woman reevaluate their lives. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

Heroines | Kate Zambreno

“Because of the mythical lothario conjured up in Nin‘s journals, I‘ve always fantasized about having an affair with Henry Miller, horn dog Henry Miller, who can‘t keep his hands off me, who will back me over a couch and go at me, who will fuck me so I stay fucked.”

Although this is billed as a mystery, the reason I loved this book was Thumps Dreadfulwater, his friends, and the town of Chinook. I felt like I was solving a mystery with the group of retired gents I see at the coffeehouse in the morning. Wonderful Canadian author and great example of the right book at the right time.

TheKidUpstairs I keep meaning to read this series! 18h

Retelling of the world's longest epic poem known to mankind, Mahabharata, from Draupadi's POV, the wife of 5 Pandavas. I have always loved Mahabharata and so just expected a LOT from this book. And just breaks my heart to say that I was quite disappointed. I do not get the hype for it. A strong no for someone getting to know the Indian culture or the epic. Please go for the English translation of the original epic.
1/5🌟

1. So far so good. I'm halfway through the day.
2. I follow some Facebook groups on mental health. I follow one person by newsletter/blogs. But she's been mostly selling her stuff the last year so I can't do that.
I'm about to walk into one of my happy places. 😊

I just started this one, and I can honestly say I have no idea where I am. 🤣 Apparently, it is underground somewhere.

A challenging but important read covering how the red pill / incel movements pervade (more than we realise) for the harm of all people and their intersection with white supremacy.

TrishB I couldn‘t get through this one as it was so awful! Well done. 2d
Balibee146 @trishb I think she is excellent at describing all the layers feeding into these subcultures in accessible language, which is helping. It is hard to stomach though for sure.... Half a chapter a day is about all I can take at a time.... 2d
