I loved this short novel so much that I bought another of Wolff‘s. Masquerading as a coming-of-age story, it is really about truth and honor and identity. The prose is sublime and the characters so true I had to double check that it was a novel, not a mémoire. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

CarolynM I liked this one a lot too. 1d

Well that was a weird little book. It was a bit too shallow for me, nothing was developed and I didn't care about the characters.

I don't think I enjoyed it enough to carry on with the series.

flying_monkeys This is a series that you can jump around in. You do not have to read them straight through in order. If you're open to giving another one a try, I highly recommend In An Absent Dream. Lundy is a character who resonates with a lot of readers. 1d

Loving this novel, which is deep and quiet and thoughtful. Just my type of book.

Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag @TheSpineView

1️⃣ After grade school I was hit or miss. If liked the subject (English, writing, History) I was good but if I wasn‘t interested (Math) I didn‘t apply myself & was not great!

2️⃣ I loved the Finishing School series & Mademoiselle Geraldine‘s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality seems like a fun school to learn useful skills like espionage, poisoning & proper curtsies.

Tag—you‘re it!🤗

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 3w

1. I was the student that actually liked doing homework…and then I decided I liked school so much I went to graduate school. So yeah, a pretty good student.

2. The tagged book is one of my all time favorite YA books by one of my all time favorite authors with one of my all time favorite covers (which I once had a very memorable conversation about with Dan Santat).

1. I was a pretty good student in high school and less so in college. (Big fish, small pond,etc.)
2. Tagged book takes place in a school. I enjoyed it on audio.
