Manhattan Beach: A Novel | Jennifer Egan

so-so

I had high hopes for this book. I enjoyed some of the storylines, but just when I'd get really invested the point of view would change. Overall I guess I missed what many others have seen in it. Oh well, on to #Moonglow, which I like so far!

ValerieAndBooks Are you on page 120 yet? Brief mention again of the effects of the dust bowl 😱 7y

kspenmoll @ValerieAndBooks Yes, meant to message you! Also fascinating info regarding what is going on in Germany while preparing for Olympics. Had no idea Olympic torch run from Greece was Goebbels idea. Want to know more about Leni Riefenstahl- ThenJoe‘s horribly sad family life, poverty, & life in the shell house...such a rich book. 7y

ValerieAndBooks Yes! And also loving how the author brings in small details to make things hit home — such as having to turn an iron upside down to heat a stew pot on it, because there was no money for firewood 😱 7y

Moonglow | Michael Chabon

#UncannyOctober- #Moon - #Moonglow “unfolds as the deathbed confession of a man the narrator refers to only as “my grandfather.” It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, marriage, desire ... and above all the destructive impact and power of keeping secrets and telling lies.” #TBR

Is anyone else having trouble writing captions since the new iPhone update??? I can‘t see the screen I‘m typing on! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #litsyneedsanupdate #iphoneupdateneeded

RealLifeReading

Laughterhp Yes! It is very annoying and I can‘t figure out how to fix it. 7y

Jess7 You should report it to #litsy. I shook my phone and reported it, but I‘m sure the more people that complain the faster they will release an update to fix the problem! Ugh it‘s very annoying! I wanted to include a description of this book, but there is no way I can write more than a couple sentences with it like this! @Laughterhp Also it‘s only with the captions, not the comments. (edited) 7y

MrsMalaprop Yes! I thought it might just be me. Will report it too. @Laughterhp @Jess7 7y

emilyhaldi Oh phew! I thought that it was just me & had no idea what I was doing wrong 😂 7y

Jess7 @emilyhaldi please shake your phone and report it. Let them know since the new iPhone update - we can‘t see our screen to type out captions. It doesn‘t seem to be impacting comments - just captions. Hopefully they will fix it ASAP if enough people complain. 7y

britt_brooke I've held out on doing the update because of the Litsy issues. I've heard that a work around is to write your caption first then add your photo. 7y

Jess7 That‘s super annoying! Mine automatically updated last night. 😒 Thanks for the tip. I would think once Litsy finds out this is a pervasive problem for its iPhone users it will fix it. I just hope enough people report it. @britt_brooke (edited) 7y

Izai.Amorim A way around it is to write first and add the picture when you‘re done. If you insert the picture first you can‘t see the text. At least that‘s the way on my iPod. 7y

Jess7 Thanks @Izai.Amorim I may try that in the interim, but I‘m hoping if you, me and enough people tell Litsy about the problem, they should be able to issue an update to fix this issue. I‘m sure it‘s like anything else - Litsy needs to know how many people this is impacting so they can decide whether it‘s enough to fix the problem on a large scale. (edited) 7y

ItsAngel @Jess7 Yessss! I wondered if it was just me and maybe I was doing something wrong. So dang annoying! 😒 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I got a notice pop-up that they‘re working on fixing this. 7y

Jess7 Me too - just now @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled 7y

Izai.Amorim @Jess7 I think they know. Just got a message from them saying that they‘re „working on it.“ Probably read your thread? Anyway I was told what I already knew, first text, then picture. 7y

Jess7 @Izai.Amorim thanks - I know - I received a msg from them when @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled did - I just didn‘t update my original post. Thanks! 7y

Jess7 I can‘t really update it right now anyway - it‘s too difficult to edit without being able to see my wording to select it etc - but yes, I understand they are working on it. I‘m hoping it gets fixed soon. If it starts working for anyone in the interim, please let me know. Thanks! 7y

Liberty You get a treat for guessing correctly! Please email your name and mailing address to Liberty at Book Riot dot com and I'll send you a treat! 7y

Jess7 Oh awesome! Thanks @Liberty !!! 🎉🎉🎉 7y

Jess7 Did you get my email @Liberty 7y

I'll Take You There: A Novel | Wally Lamb

Excited to see both #Moonglow by #Michael Chabon and #IllTakeYouThere by #WallyLamb get such great reviews in December's issue of #Bookpage!

MOONGLOW is "sparkling" and "richly satisfying," and Chabon's characters "still live with you long after you turn the final page."

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE is "a love letter to feminism and to trailblazing women." - We couldn't agree more!

Moonglow | Michael Chabon

Happy on sale day to #MichaelChabon and his new novel #Moonglow! NPR.org calls it "a love story about shooting for the moon on multiple levels but accepting shortfalls. It's a life story that counsels celebrating rare moments of happiness amidst craters."
