The Air You Breathe: A Novel | Frances de Pontes Peebles

pick

This may be my favorite book of the year.

Beautifully written historical fiction about friendship, music, fame, and so much more. Wonderful characters, amazing sense of places (across Brazil and LA), and strong emotions throughout.

I‘m afraid I‘ll be feeling a book hangover. But it was so very worth it. I‘m going to need to own a copy of this, and also pick up her other book, The Seamstress.

Ashley_Nicoletto I read half of this yesterday. ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£ I don‘t usually find music so interesting, but it just sucks me right in. 6y

kgriffith Well damn, that‘s a hard sell. 6y

Hooked_on_books I loved it, too! I don‘t think it‘s received nearly the amount of attention it should. I couldn‘t put it down. Wonderful book. 6y

Gissy I think this is inspired of Carmen Miranda life, is that correct? 6y

Soubhiville @Gissy yes loosely. 6y

Gissy I need to read it! After March next year, i will have more time to read! Waiting for that moment! 6y

A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara

I can‘t write a review for this yet, I‘m too raw and broken open. All I can say is it‘s beautiful and an amazing book, but don‘t go near it if you have any triggers. One of the most difficult books I‘ve ever read, but I‘m glad I did.

Book 1 for #makemereadit

I‘m going to eat ice cream and watch cartoons now. Sniffle.

AmyG Hugs. I love this book. I understand. 6y

Kappadeemom Yes! You just need to breathe and think about it for a day or so. 6y

JacqMac Yeah, I loved it, too. But you really need some self care after this one. 6y

Bklover Not finished yet. This will haunt me. 6y

callielafleur I read it... 2 years ago maybe? And there are parts of me that still ache when I see the cover. Don't know that I'll ever be fully healed. 6y

Love Minus Eighty | Will McIntosh

A YA/New Adult love story that's really about #allthefeelings. In a future world, the deceased are kept on ice until a sponsor rich enough to pay for the recovery & rehab of the "bridesicle" can be found. Kevin T. Collins (who sounds like a desperate John Cusack - total beta male!); Eileen Stevens (who may creep you out); and Ali Ahn are perfectly cast in this SFF tale that @Guildedearlobe put on his #audiobookpantheon altar! #TBT

Shantaram: A Novel | Gregory David Roberts

Next good nights stories: a tome i've seen lie around in every hostel all over the world. Some travelers told me they loved it, some that they hated it. I guess it'll take me another 43 hours to decide for myself....

PurpleyPumpkin I really enjoyed this book. It's lengthy but so interesting! Hope you enjoy it too. ðŸ˜Š 8y

Dogearedcopy I adore this book! I fell in love with Humphrey Bower's voice and Lin and felt #allthefeelings! I did NOT want this to end! 44+ hours is not enough! (And yes, I have the sequel... But in print. I'm holding out a little longer to see if the author relents and grants audio rights to a publisher)
