The brilliant Ann Patchett was born in #December1963, and we start Commonwealth in the 1960s. It fell a bit flat for me, and wasn‘t my favourite Patchett.

Cinfhen, TrishB

LauraBeth I love Patchett but I‘ve bailed on this twice now during the first 25 pages. 6y

Cinfhen So I LOVED this book on my THIRD try @LauraBeth and it ended up being 5 juicy oranges 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 6y

LauraBeth Wow @Cinfhen - I‘m so glad to hear that! Maybe the third time is the charm with this one - I‘ll give it another go. 6y

Cinfhen Yay @LauraBeth and I‘ve loaned my copy to several readers who all LOVED it too!! 6y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen 🙌 I found a signed copy for $2 at the used bookstore last year and felt sorry for it and bought it 😀 6y

TrishB The only one I‘ve read of hers so far - slow first 50 pages but persevered and loved it too 💕 @Cinfhen @LauraBeth 6y

Cinfhen #BookRescuer 😘😘 @LauraBeth and money well spent!! 6y

Cinfhen I didn‘t realize this was your only Patchett @TrishB WE MUST REMEDY 6y

BookNAround I did not love this one either. I wondered if the impulse to sprinkle autobiographical stuff in weakened the story. 6y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Didn‘t care for this one. Tried Bel Canto twice and bailed. I don‘t think Im a Pachett person. (Can I say that out loud? 😬) 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen I have State of Wonder and Bel Canto on the pile ready! (edited) 6y

Cathythoughts Yes I bailed on this one. But .... Bel Canto I just loved ♥️ 6y

JennyM @LauraBeth @Cinfhen it‘s a slow burn for sure. Hope you love it this time around @LauraBeth 6y

JennyM @BookNAround I think you are spot on! 6y

JennyM @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled lol...I also found Bel Canto hard going at first and bailed, then enjoyed second time. She‘s an acquired taste it seem 😊 6y

JennyM @Cathythoughts I think Commonwealth is the one book of hers people bail on. 6y

Cinfhen Lots of division amongst the Littens here!!!! I did read and LOVE this year

State of Wonder

Well. See. I had an appointment at the Social Security office this morning for some business. I can‘t help that the Half Price Book Store is right next to the SS office. I just had to go take a look at the lonely books. And what do you know? A few of them just jumped into my arms. #bookrescuer 🤥 #thatsmystoryandiamstickingtoit

LeahBergen Among the Janeites was a fun read! 7y
