Been excited to read this one for a while! Always appreciate a Scottish narrator as well 😊
Another Random book from the shelves! Can‘t wait to get to this one!
This is one of my current reads, and it's really fantastic.
pickOwen Callahan, 28 & an aspiring writer, returns home to Kentucky when his luck runs out. Living with his grandfather, he takes a job as a groundskeeper at a nearby college so he can enroll in a writing class for free. He becomes involved with a visiting writer from DC, Alma, the daughter of Bosnian Muslim refugees. A thoughtful and moving look at the complex mix of emotions home and family can evoke, especially if people you love voted for Trump.
pickI enjoyed this book and thought it was well written. It was gripping and fast paced. However, Gruoch did irritate me slightly as she did tend to open her mouth before engaging her brain, not advisable in those days. I‘m surprised she lived to tell the tale sometimes. Having said all that, the research gone into writing Gruoch‘s story was inspiring. It gave a good insight into the era. An entertaining and exciting read. #Pigeonhole
pickThis book was very meta. Young Paducah, KY, writer takes college writing courses while working a campus job & living with grandad. Published immigrant girlfriend is pursuing a career as a writing professor. So, LOTS of conversations about writing, literature, representation, & appropriation. Plenty of local color & depictions of cultural/political/class differences. It doesn‘t try to do too much, but what it does do, it does very well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trying to enjoy some reading before work today, but am feeling a bit distracted.
