Not the tagged book, I guess Kracht's newest book isn't in the database yet.

I was sceptical about this, because after all the years since his last book my views and tastes have changed. But only a few pages in I knew, this is my favourite novel by him so far.

Loved the magical realism and the two plot lines that interfuse more and more. Not everyone will enjoy that, but I love it.

I have tried several times to read the tagged. Bleak House was the last Dickens I read. The Grapes of Wrath is on my tbr. #TLT @dabbe

dabbe I simply cannot get into ULYSSES. I've tried many times, too. I just don't have the patience! LOVE Bleak House and Grapes. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 9h

TheAromaofBooks This chapter made me sad because it doesn't seem like there is any way that this is actually going to end up being a happy situation 1d

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I share your trepidation! I feel like a cloud is hanging over everyone…lightning is coming…😬 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh, all these things they can‘t do because it would make Tom or #tetchytully mad! 1d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not sure #snakeywakey would approve either but getting them together would solve everything #gettheteapotsback 1d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaOfBooks I also thought this chapter was so sad. It sucks that Maggie and Phillip can't live their lives without their families being all butt hurt. Very #RomeoAndJuliet vibes here. Also poor girl #MaggieREAD please girl, go back to books! 1d

Leftcoastzen Made me sad too. Maggie is painfully aware of her diminished station in life ,trying to muddle through. A cloud hanging over everything, so true. Every relationship is tainted by the drama of the past. 15h

Clare-Dragonfly I dunno if Bob‘s reaction to Maggie is a crush. It reminds me of Bessy in North and South looking at Margaret. (Wow, lots of name repetition!) 2d

julieclair That was so sweet of Bob! 😍 2d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂big thumbs and a stack of books! 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk would make me happy 😆😆 2d

Leftcoastzen Maggie & the family ruminate on their limited prospects.Bob is kind to bring Maggie books! Big Thumbs ? Really? 😂 2d

What I Know about You | �ric Chacour

Really good books this month!

Favourite is the tagged. I‘m trying to read more LGBTQIA books as well as books by non-cis white male authors.

The Book of the Month: Sixty Years of Books in American Life | Al Silverman

I cracked and got the North as my #BOTM because I REALLY wanted the add-ons.
Plus I had a lot of FOMO that I didn‘t grab Wild Dark Shore earlier. And everyone I‘ve talked to about it loved it. With my #aardvarkbookclub picks that‘s 6 books bought today. I need to slow down. 📚

Avanders 🫢 I know the feeling… haven‘t yet figured out how to slow down… 🤔 3d

janeycanuck If you figure out the slow down thing, let me know! 1d
