Well this was just beautiful! I was going to read it and pass it along, but it‘s very definitely staying on my shelves for a while.

Following the loss of her mother, a young girl spends her time on an island in the gulf of Finland, with her father and grandmother. Grandmother is wise, funny, acerbic and their relationship is a joy. Gorgeous!

Not sure if it‘s bad timing but I started out really enjoying this but got bored towards the end. The audio was great but I think I just wasn‘t really invested in Lillian or her story. I like the idea of it - wandering around the streets of NY on New Year‘s Eve meeting people and looking back over her life but it didn‘t hit the mark for me. #mcover70 #booked2018

My final quarter of #booked2018 is complete. Here‘s what I read—

#newin2018 Heartland
#mcwithaninvisibleillness Reasons to Stay Alive
#spooky The Elementals
#underdoghero Murder as a Fine Art
#MCover70 Three Things About Elsie
#featuresaholiday Better Not Cry

This was a lovely, if uneven, read. Much of it was compelling and thoughtful, but a few points dragged, and a few minor characters were lackluster and unbelievable (I'm looking at you, Penny). But ultimately I did enjoy the read, and Lillian.

Here‘s this season‘s post for #booked2018! ✅ Looking forward to next year!
I‘ll tag in the comments.

As Uhry states in the introduction, this play sadly is still relevant today. The movie is excellent and I‘m so glad I picked this play to read for #booked2018 . #MCOver70

Current read. Thank you @Librarybelle ! #booked2018 #mcover70

Anne Tyler‘s books always seem to hover between just okay and 👍 for me. It‘s a solid family saga, but I did not like the brief but jarring flashback to the past 2/3 of the way through the story.

I think what keeps pulling me back to her books is the taste of home they give me. Her settings always feel so familiar!
