Leftcoastzen 👍👋Enjoying this one! Hope to get finished before discussion time. 5y

mklong I‘m starting today and looking forward to chatting with all of you. Thanks for keeping this going @vivastory! 5y

batsy I haven't started, but I'm looking forward. 5y

Liz_M I believe that would be 10 am NYC time. Normally I would be out at brunch, but it looks like I'll be making my own eggs and mimosa for the foreseeable future. 🍹

I've read part one and am hoping part two induces fewer winces on Ettie's behalf. 5y

merelybookish Ditto @batsy. I may be late to the discussion but am still planning to read. 5y

BarbaraBB I haven‘t started either but I hope to get to it after I finish my next read. 5y

Billypar I'm going to have to sit this one out-- my library closed indefinitely for covid-19 before my hold came in and I haven't had the wherewithal to get another copy. Enjoy the discussion: I'll be looking out for reviews to see if I should pick this up later on! 5y

sisilia I haven‘t started, either 😫 I have been too anxious to read recently. Believe it or not, I‘m still halfway Irretrievable 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y

emilyhaldi I better get started on this tomorrow 😅 reading has been slow for me lately as well 🙁 5y

vivastory @Leftcoastzen I really enjoyed it too. Looking forward to the discussion! 5y

vivastory @Suet624 I hope you are well, Sue! 5y

vivastory @mklong I'm looking forward to your thoughts! 5y

vivastory @batsy I hope you like it. I really enjoyed it! 5y

vivastory @Liz_M Correct, 10 AM. Eggs & mimosas? I might have to add that to my grocery list... 5y

vivastory @merelybookish I think you'd like it 👍 5y

vivastory @BarbaraBB I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it! 5y

vivastory @Billypar I was straightening my books the other day & I noticed I somehow have 2 copies of it. I can send a copy to you in a few weeks when things will be hopefully back to normal. 5y

vivastory @sisilia I completely understand. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. 5y

vivastory @emilyhaldi The covid reading slump is real 😠 5y

Billypar @vivastory Thanks offering that: that's very thoughtful. I actually just saw @Leftcoastzen 's earlier post about getting the ebook: not sure why that didn't occur to me before, but my library had it, so I downloaded it. I won't be in time for the discussion but it sounds good based on the posts so far. 5y

Suet624 Does it seem like a large number of folks won‘t have read it? Should we push it back a week or is that too complicated? 5y

batsy @vivastory I'm liking it a lot :) I might not finish in time for discussion but will join in later when I do. 5y

LeahBergen I‘m sitting this one out (yep, the #covidreadingslump) but I‘ll be popping in to the discussion to see how everyone likes it. I have two other NYRB Szabos waiting on my shelf. 😄 5y

LeahBergen Is it your turn next to propose some picks for May, Scott? Yippee! 👏🏻👏🏻 5y
