Sag Harbor: A Novel | Colson Whitehead
post image

Went to the Strand Bookstore while in NY. Lots'O books...18 miles of books. The stacks were so tall they have ladders in the aisles in case the book you want is on the upper shelves. Fortunately I didn‘t need to climb for any if these books.

TheBookHippie I love it there. 3d
Ruthiella Sag Harbor was very good! 3d

This Is Happiness | Niall Williams
post image
Pickpick

It took me a while to read this because I wanted to savour the beautiful writing , story telling and wisdom of Niall Williams. A wonderful story of life , love and happiness . The narrator was a joy to “ listen “ to.
This is one book I think I could listen to as an audio book.
A tale of a time in Ireland when things were simple but technology in the form of electricity was spreading .
A look at one small village . Insightful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Desha That‘s so interesting that you just finished this…I am currently reading it for book club! Enjoying it so far! 🩷 2w
Tamra Great winding story telling! I‘m currently listening to 2w

She's Come Undone | Wally Lamb

So, back when Oprah started her book club, I was super into it and read quite a few of the first books she chose. This beauty was one of them. Decided to reread it this week and I‘m so glad I did. It‘s still wonderful, and 20 years later (omg I‘m old) it still resonates. Would you believe this is the only Wally Lamb book I‘ve read? 🤦‍♀️

Ruthiella Oprah books are sometimes too sad for me. I did read this one though and also 4w
AmyG He has a new book coming out June 10….River is waiting. Looks potentially fabulous. 4w
BarbaraBB I read this one and enjoyed it but before I read the tagged one and I was blown away 4w

CBee @Ruthiella I agree - the other ones I read when she first started were quite sad and intense. But, that‘s kind of my thing 😂🤷‍♀️😅 4w
CBee @BarbaraBB I have that one and have meant to read it a million times. Decided I‘m going to start it today - hopefully🤞🏻😂 4w
CBee @AmyG have you read any others of his? 4w
squirrelbrain I had a copy with the same cover, but it somehow got lost over the years - might have to buy another and re-read it. 4w
AmyG I read We Are Water, too. 4w
CBee @squirrelbrain I always loved the cover. This is the original one I bought 20 years or so ago! I found a couple places where I dog eared the corners to mark my place - gasp - I haven‘t done that in years! 4w
CBee @AmyG decided to start I Know This Much is True today and I think I‘m already hooked ♥️ 4w
AmyG EDIT: I read the tagged, I Know This Much is True and The Hour I First Believed. (edited) 4w
CBee @AmyG awesome 👏🏻 4w
Suet624 AmyG @BarbaraBB I Know This Much is True is my absolute favorite of his. My twin boys were babies when I read it and boy did it affect me. 4w
BarbaraBB @Suet624 That must have be extra special, while having your own twins (edited) 4w
BarbaraBB @CBee I Know This Much Is True is so good and I also enjoyed The Hour I First Believed @AmyG 4w
CBee @Suet624 I bet it did! 4w
Reggie I felt so bad for that girl in here. I remember to lose weight she imagined mold on her food. And that her grandma dies before she gets a chance to visit her but she finds her way to be ok in the end. 4w
CBee @Reggie yes! She does find her way after so much trauma 😢 4w
vivastory Remember when they used to sell the Oprah selections next to the cash register at Starbucks? 4w
CBee @vivastory omg total blast from the past - I didn‘t remember but now I do 😂😁 4w

I no longer cry easily, but this turned out to be a rougher book than expected. Good character development despite its short length. These are characters I would miss greatly if they were people I‘d known.
