Tom Lake: A Novel | Ann Patchett
post image
Pickpick

This was a beautiful read and only cements what I already knew - Ann Patchett is one of my favorite writers. I found myself thinking more than once how lovely it would be to live in an orchard, or near one - but I think I‘d be disappointed to find that I wouldn‘t be living with the Nelson family 😂 #tbrtarot #flowersoncover

TheBookHippie Here‘s a tip -don‘t do it in northern Michigan 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. 10mo
CBee @TheBookHippie hahaha exactly the setting of this book too 😂😂 10mo
AmyG Exactly! I wanted to be one of the daughters. 10mo

CBee @AmyG me too! This might be my favorite of hers - but I also loved The Dutch House so so much. 10mo
JamieArc @AmyG I wanted to be one of her daughters as well! 10mo
AmyG @CBee yes, The Dutch House comes in a close second for me. @JamieArc Ha, right? 10mo
TheBookHippie @CBee yes I know -it gives me hives just thinking about it. (edited) 10mo
Billypar I've only read Bel Canto and State of Wonder and I thought the two were so different that I wouldn't have even guessed the same author wrote them if I didn't know. But I liked them both for different reasons. 10mo
CBee @TheBookHippie oh my - stop thinking about it 🫢😂 10mo
CBee @Billypar I highly recommend The Dutch House as well! And of course Tom Lake 😊 I haven‘t read Bel Canto but loved State of Wonder. 10mo
peaKnit I‘ve listened to this audio twice, it‘s just so lovely. 10mo
Reggie ❤️❤️❤️Emily! I loved this book. 10mo
AmyG @CBee You haven‘t read Bel Canto? I thought you did. It‘s…ok. @Reggie 👊🏻❤️ 10mo
CBee @AmyG I know, it seems odd I haven‘t read it - I tried to a couple of times and I‘m not sure why it didn‘t stick. I sent it to you instead 😂😂 10mo
CBee @Reggie 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️♥️♥️ 10mo
CBee @peaKnit I‘ve heard the audio is amazing! 10mo
AmyG @CBee Ha! I thought you read it before sending it to me. 🤣 10mo
CBee @AmyG nope 🫢🫢😂😂 10mo
peaKnit I literally use this audio book to lull me back to sleep, Meryl Streep‘s voice put my nervous system into neutral🩷. (edited) 10mo
CBee @peaKnit wow, that‘s great! 10mo
Amiable Loved this book! And @AmyG , I thought I was the only one who wasn‘t totally enamored with “Bel Canto.” 😄 10mo

Early last year a friend of mine was getting his mother‘s house ready to sell, and he recruited several friends to help him. There was a lot of stuff! Some went to Goodwill, some went to the dump, and some went home with his friends. I got some wrapping paper, a step stool, and this book about local gardens.

#WindsOfMarch Day 6: #FlowersOnCover. I like how the formidable artist Frida Kahlo has been humanized even more through Anholt‘s story: Frida‘s tenderness towards Mariana; how she told her confidences, even those that are not ordinarily told to a young girl. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j59

Eggs 👏🏻📚🌺👏🏻 4y

The Lowland | Jhumpa Lahiri
post image

I like the story as well as writing style of Lahiri. I love her vivid description & development of characters.But the story was too lengthy. I enjoyed the part set in India but the later half of the book was a tiresome read. Communist activity background was interesting. Overall it‘s in between pick & so-so read 3🌟/5🌟

It was read in 2020 as a part of #readingwithmaja #November prompt. #flowersoncover

Cinfhen Gorgeous edition/ my cover was certainly not that beautiful 4y

Little Women | Louisa May Alcott
post image

I was 7 the first time my grandmother read Little Women to me. Since that day I've read this book more than any other. It is where I return when the world robs me of my joy of reading, or when I need to be reminded of the unbreakable bond we can form with those we love. Because sometimes in life we just need a good book to make everything okay again.
