My Sister's Keeper | Jodi Picoult

so-so

My Sister‘s Keeper was a winner for me, right up until the very end.

Picoult snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with that ending 🙄

Bookwomble Hate when that happens 😒 1y

Sense and Sensibility | Jane Austen

Ah yes, chapter 2. Wherein we learn that Mr. John Dashwood is a selfish twit, and Fanny Dashwood is a royal b*tch.

I‘m loving your posts here, as well as the discussions on Goodreads and Slack, #PemberLittens! ❤️

mollyrotondo Uhh they are horrible! I hate this John! And Fanny is the ultimate b*tchy daughter-in-law. But I love how Austen writes these types of scenes. All that back and forth is perfect 4y

sprainedbrain @mollyrotondo she really was a master! 4y

alisiakae They‘re perfectly awful. 4y

KristiAhlers They are the best in catty regency characters! 4y

batsy Omg I loathe them! So much! 4y

erzascarletbookgasm John is such a useless man. Fanny is just as you described! 4y

eeclayton Agreed! 4y

TheAromaofBooks Austen does such a great job showing the way Fanny plays on John's weaknesses, convincing him not just to do the opposite of what he promised his father he would do, but persuading John that that actually IS what he promised his father to do! 4y

Lcsmcat The whole Fanny argument that the Dashwood women could live on 740 but her four year old would be impoverished without the £600 is (not to get too political) exactly what we‘re facing with the COVID19 bailout. Big corporations can‘t be expected to plan for the shut down, but individual wage earners should have? It just shows how universal and timeless Austen‘s observations of humanity are. 4y

MicrobeMom #agreed. 😂🤣😂🤣 She completely lacks any sense of compassion and he is spineless! 4y

hilded @Lcsmcat Yes, good comparison - fascinating really. 4y

hilded Oh, how easily he is fooled by his wife, it‘s tragic.. Some men in a nutshell 😝 (edited) 4y

sprainedbrain @Lcsmcat You are so right! Perfect analogy. 4y

sprainedbrain @TheAromaofBooks Yes! In one short chapter, she lays out a conversation that clearly illustrates both of their characters. 4y

Me & Emma | Elizabeth Flock

bailed

I am sure I knew what the twist would be by page 14. It‘s very obvious. I haven‘t technically confirmed that I‘m right but I‘ll take a peek at the ending at some point to see for sure.

But predictability is not the biggest issue. I am bored by the story. I know it‘s an important one. I want to like it more than I do. But with so many other compelling books calling my name, I can‘t rationalize forcing myself through this any further.

Megabooks Same here! #agreed 5y

SaturnDoo I bet you're right 😂 I remember reading this several years ago. If it hadn't of been a buddy read, I would have bailed too. But I stuck it out until the end 😝😕🤢👎👎 5y

abookishbutterfly @Megabooks 👍🏻 5y

abookishbutterfly @SaturnDoo Yep! I checked the ending this morning. That was the most blatantly obvious plot twist ever! 5y

So much fun. Middle grade readers will love this book. Great wish fulfillment, coupled with Monkey‘s Paw consequences appropriate for a MG crowd. Also... I need a cat clock now...
