so-soCompletely undecided on this.
Very cleverly woven story which manages prehistoric lectures with current activism, told by an unreliable narrator who possibly doesn't remember her true self and identity.
I found it hard to keep track of characters at times, but did appreciate the overall story.
pickThere is this gentleman that comes in almost everyday and plays the same machines at my casino. He‘s a Navy veteran who worked on submarines. He lent me 2 books and this is one of them. Was it on my 2025 bingo card to read about life on a 1960s submarine mission? No, but here we are. And as someone who has never read about submarine navy life I found it fascinating. I wouldn‘t say this is narrative but slice of life. Pick!
There are certain times of the year when the sky rewards us for catching the early bus.

"Robust virility was projected through every detail of Ben's face, from the thick, close-cropped silver hair to the broad leathery face that looked as though it had been designed by Hormel and shaped with a dull saber."
pickA very old book. First published in 1916, this one 1960. It caught my eye because I had to read it in high school and all I can remember is that I hated it. Reading it now I can understand why my teenage self didn‘t like. It is a spy thriller set in WW1 . I‘m glad I reread it. Looking back I realise we had a very British based curriculum.
By the way this old book smells great.😊❤️.
pickOn audio. Once again I put a hold on a book because the cool kids were reading it and I wasn‘t wrong to so
It‘s nice to read about women your own age being fierce and giving no fucks
I can‘t wait for the next instalment
ABYSMAL. I never thought I‘d be grateful for The Great Gatsby, but at least it enabled me to check one box. Hemingway was another and I‘ve already forgotten the other two. I‘ve owned copies of three of the pictured books (two for 30 years!) and lost all desire to read them. The only one on the list I still want to read is Conrad‘s The Secret Agent. #tlt #threelistthursday You‘re killing me @dabbe 🤣😭🤣
