Be Frank With Me: A Novel | Julia Claiborne Johnson

pick

I really enjoyed this light read. It's a cute story about the difficulty of caring for a child that doesn't fit in, especially when the mother doesn't quite fit in, either. I absolutely love how Frank relates almost everything to films and their stars.

JennyM The best kind of #overachiever 😊 Well done! 😘 5y

Cinfhen I did @NeedsMoreBooks but it could have worked for #MillennialAuthor and my #CoverCrush could have worked for #HatOrHeadcovering 😉❣️ 5y

Cinfhen Thank you my sweet friend xx @JennyM 5y

AmyG Wow! Great job. 👍🏻🙌🏻👊🏻 5y

Cinfhen I‘m sure you‘re making great strides too @AmyG you always seem to wrap up this challenge early on 💓 5y

AmyG Ha! I am almost done with Spring. 5y

alisiakae I‘ve got one more left for Winter, and more than halfway through Spring. 😄 5y

Cinfhen I‘m not surprised @AmyG 🙌🏻💗I know @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @4thhouseontheleft have been reading “out of season” so to speak / which is totally cool 😎 I think our prompts were open-ended enough to leave lots of room for “free reads” 😉❤️📚 5y

NeedsMoreBooks @Cinfhen thank you! I checked it out from the library as it was in my TBR. Can use it for a prompt now 🥳 5y

Cinfhen I did the audio which was AMAZING @NeedsMoreBooks but I‘m sure print form is just as good!! I‘ve been trying to use my library system too for all the challenges. 5y

NeedsMoreBooks @Cinfhen yes! I mostly use my library- it‘s free and awesome. I checkout ebooks and physical books as I get distracted by audiobooks 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y

Cinfhen @NeedsMoreBooks audiobooks aren‘t for everyone but they‘ve become my favorite medium. I‘m hooked!!! Reading feels like a chore now 🤪I never thought I‘d become such a devotee. (edited) 5y

NeedsMoreBooks @Cinfhen 💖❤️ that‘s great! 5y

Women Talking: A Novel | Miriam Toews

Back to this audiobook, now that we‘re home from vacation. I never can listen when traveling. So ... I‘m looking forward to digging into this. We live in an area with many Amish and Mennonite families, so this feels relevant.

@Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft

alisiakae How did I not know the characters in this are Mennonite? Bumping higher on my TBR! My grandmother‘s family are all Mennonite - she converted to Lutheran when she married my grandfather. My great-uncle was almost disowned by their parents when be broke from Mennonite pacifist traditions and joined the military during WWII. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Yes, you‘ll want to read this. Although it‘s not the pleasant side of Mennonites. 5y

An Iliad | Alessandro Baricco

I love a retelling of Greek mythology.

Poirot Investigates: Hercule Poirot Investigates | Agatha Christie

pick

A fun collection for #agathachristieclubr2. Isn't Hastings sick of Poirot by now though? He's really horrible to him. Book 4 of 5 for my #jumpstart2020 goal!

Update: This was my first read for #classicschallenge2020! I like the idea of two a month, @reviewsbylola. I'm going to try to keep up! And here's my #hatorheadcovering entry for #Booked2020. 🎓

Reviewsbylola Yay, I‘m glad you‘re enjoying it! I‘ve read one or two Christies but was never hooked. I need to try again! 5y

Linsy @Reviewsbylola For me, it's hit and miss with Poirot. I love the Tommy and Tuppence series though! And I tend to like her one-off books most. ❤ 5y

ferskner I know, Hastings takes a lot of abuse. :) 5y

On the Come Up | Angie Thomas

pick

I gotta hand it to Angie Thomas ~ she knows how to make a 53 year old feel like a teenager again. Yes, parts of this book are annoyingly YA but listening to Bohni Turpin rap, whine and lament about race, family, expectations and HS was infectious. Absolutely enjoyed all 12 hours and I‘m now ready to listen to another YA book.

CoffeeAndABook Great review!!! I‘ll stack this, sounds rousing ⚡️ 5y

Cinfhen Hi @CoffeeAndABook you have to go with the audiobook ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️otherwise I‘m afraid it‘ll be a very YA read (edited) 5y

alisiakae Now I know I need to check out some audiobooks narrated by her! 5y

cleoh Omg this was my favourite audiobook of last year! Bahni Turpin also does THUG and There‘s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins! 5y

Cinfhen She‘s such an incredibly talented narrator @cleoh @4thhouseontheleft honestly she could make my tax returns sound exciting 🙌🏻💜 5y

cleoh @Cinfhen honestly yes 😍 she‘s also the narrator for Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay which just sounds so incredible and I have been on the wait list for it for so long 😭 5y

Cinfhen Good to know @cleoh I‘m gonna see if my library system has it

Bad Feminist

CoffeeAndABook I definitely keep that in mind‼️ I‘m not big on audiobooks but this one sounds non-optional 😉 5y

Chelleo Unpopular opinion. I love Bahni Turpin but I‘m starting to feel like she‘s over-saturating the audiobook market. She‘s narrated so many things that I can‘t get past her voice to hear the story. And because of that, stories are starting to morph together. This was the first time I actually felt a bit disappointed at hearing her at the start of a book. 5y

Cinfhen Hi @Chelleo 👋🏽The more audiobooks I listen to the easier it‘s becoming to recognize certain voices and I understand what you‘re saying. Especially when women use their male voice. However, I still love the tone and sound of Bahni‘s voice and I can listen to her all day. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the book!! 5y

Romancing the Inventor: A Supernatural Society Novella (1.0) | Gail Carriger

pick

A slow burn, but worth the wait! I found Imogene both wonderful and frustrating! I understand that her reluctance to speak her mind and her desires is a baked in stamp of the time and society and where she fits within it all, but I found it almost infuriating at times! Though, when she finally does hold forth, it's pretty glorious! Definitely a book worth the read.
@BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen #Booked2020 #Hat

Michollio I love Carriger's books. I finally read all of the novellas in this world and I enjoyed getting little snippets that go into the lives of side characters from the novels. 5y

Cinfhen Another wonderful #HatOrHeadCovering 🥰and a fabulous review!! 5y
