pickWhat a magnificent tale of loss, grief and ethical uncertainty.
Typically, I'm not a fan of the literary genre, but this one really fascinated me.
This enigmatic, heartfelt journey through the Amazon, being immersed in a different culture while grappling with personal inner turmoil just worked for me.
Now I will also need to explore Bel Canto.
“Women over 40 give birth to 4% of all babies. 75% of those are unplanned—In part because many women assume they can no longer get pregnant. Many women In perimenopause ovulate more than once a month, which can also make it harder to predict fertility.”

pickFinal #roll100 read for Feb and also scored a line in #bookspinbingo recovering from surgery and not being able to do anything has its advantages as gives me lots of reading time!
Really enjoyed this, loved the prose, and there were a couple of twists that I did not see coming. Really interesting subject too.
pickThis one seems to have a lot of mixed reviews, but I loved it. It somehow sucked me in completely, despite some of the maybe farfetched events.
pickNot my favorite Patchett. Interesting premise, great ending, but a lot of meandering in the middle. Became a slog. But the ending was a worthy payoff. Recommended if you love Patchett‘s writing style already.
pick“Full of big ideas and marvellously peculiar characters.” Oh I did love this. It was quiet, gentle, crazy, peculiar, completely absorbing. I fell hard for all those characters and it broke my heart 🐍
