Wow, April already! 🌸🌞🌸

Are you still enjoying our daily arboreal treat? 🌳
Did you have a favourite passage from the March entries? I adored An Orchard in Spring by Isidore Verheyden (1897). Inosculation is quite cool, too.https://crowspath.org/love-trees/

The Land of Little Rain

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie 💚🪲💚 1d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk 💚🪲💚 1d

AllDebooks I was surprised by her tone. I was expecting it to be quite academic, but actually, it was quite jovial and witty. 1d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks it‘s just a happy read! Loved it. I have next months book ! Yay 1d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it was an absolute tonic. One I will return to again and again. 1d

I Am Livia | Phyllis T. Smith

It‘s time for our #LiteraryCrew discussion! And sorry everyone…I really fizzled out on this. I also really struggled with the book‘s writing, so there are only 4 questions posted. You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

Next month‘s #BuddyRead is The Briar Club. Reminder will be posted tomorrow!

mcctrish, mjdowens, melissajayne, tpixie, LapReader, Cuilin, kspenmoll, PurpleyPumpkin, Deblovestoread, CatLass007, Mollyanna, BookwormAHN, Pogue, dabbe, Karisa, bumpinthenight, julieclair, AllDebooks, Lkempf

CatLass007 Oh goodness. It‘s the end of the month already. I had to start this one twice but once I started it the second time I enjoyed it. It sounds like you didn‘t enjoy it so much. How are the kitties? And how are you? (edited) 1d

Deblovestoread I tried to read this last year and fully intended to try again for LC but it never happened. Sorry! 1d

tpixie Sadly I didn‘t get to it either, but it looks very interesting. I just put too much in my plate- I‘ve been doing heavy research into Barbara Newhall Follett (still only 1/4 way thru 600 pages of letters ) before reading

The Story She Left Behind: A Novel

See All 12 Comments

Karisa I tried but couldn‘t get into it either. It sounded like it would be something I‘d like too😬 1d

Librarybelle @CatLass007 Maybe it‘s the timing right now, but I just did not connect with it. Oh well! Zeke is okay at the moment, but he‘s refusing the food he needs to eat for his GI issues. Sigh…I‘m tired but hanging in there. Thanks for asking! 1d

Librarybelle I‘m really looking forward to next month‘s, @Deblovestoread @tpixie @Karisa ! 1d

CatLass007 ❤️ You are so appreciated!! 1d

Librarybelle Thanks @CatLass007 ! ❤️ 1d

CatLass007 Lots of prayers and good thoughts going out to you. 1d

Librarybelle @CatLass007 ❤️❤️❤️ 1d

julieclair I enjoyed this and was glad I read it. I never would have picked it up on my own. Sending healing hugs to Zeke and to you. Hang in there. 💙 7h

Librarybelle So glad you enjoyed, @julieclair ! And thank you! 7h

I Am Livia | Phyllis T. Smith

This post contains spoilers

show me

4. Admittedly, I struggled with the writing style in this novel. I just could not connect with the narrative. Any comments on the writing or the style of the novel? Did you the first person narrative enhanced or took away from the telling of Livia's story? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin Same as I said in another post, too much telling. It could have been better. I think Smith had an agenda to write Livia as a likable character. We could‘ve sympathized with her though, even if Livia had been written as cold and calculating as she was still a woman in a man‘s world trying to survive. 1d

julieclair I listened on audio, and almost gave up because I was having trouble following all the political twists and turns, and couldn‘t flip back through the pages to reread passages. I finally decided to just concentrate on Livia‘s narrative, knowing that she was helping her husband(s) navigate a rotating cast of friends and enemies. Once I did that, I really enjoyed the book. 8h
