The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 | Garrett M. Graff

#3books #setinnewyorkcity #neverforget

I donated blood today in memory of all those lost on 9/11 and to honor my loved ones that worked that day and in the following months at Ground Zero. I‘ve read both books and just this week finished listening to the tagged book. It was a devastating listen but good to be reminded of what we went through as a country and on a personal level.

Bookwormjillk I‘ve been reading that this week too. It brings it all back doesn‘t it? 4y

mrp27 @Bookwormjillk It so does. I swear I can see and smell everything from that day while listening. 4y

OriginalCyn620 That‘s so great of you to do! 4y

megnews I loved Only Plane when I read it this time last year. Reading Fall and Rise now and it‘s so hard too. I like the oral history setup of Only Plane better though. 4y

mrp27 @OriginalCyn620 Thanks, the very least I could do. 4y

mrp27 @megnews That's my next 9/11 read but maybe next year. I'm still getting over Only Plane! Hard to think any audio book can do it better but still nice to listen to them all. 4y

The History of Love | Nicole Krauss

#3books #setinNewYorkCity. #TheHistoryofLove is one of my favorite books ever. It was interesting to read it back to back with #ExtremelyLoudAndIncrediblyClose since the authors were married at the time.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn | Betty Smith

I ❤️ these #3books #setinnewyorkcity

OriginalCyn620, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

LeahBergen I feel like rereading Harriet the Spy. ❤️ 4y

catebutler I adored Harriet the Spy, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as a child, must add the 13th to my list, it sounds lovely! 4y

Ruthiella @LeahBergen Do it! The great thing about kids books is they take about a half hour to read as an adult. 😀 4y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @Ruthiella It‘s a comfort book for me. 🔍📓 4y

rubyslippersreads @catebutler 13th is very hard to find. I originally got it via interlibrary loan, so maybe that would work for you too. There‘s also an impossible-to-find sequel

The Summer is Magic

catebutler @rubyslippersreads I‘ll go that route, thank you for the additional info, I do wish more of these forgotten books would be republished. 4y

OriginalCyn620 Awesome! 4y

Washington Square | Henry James

#3Books #SetInNewYorkCity If you have been hesitant to try Henry James this shorter novel might have some appeal.Not as long winded and set in the part of New York he grew up in Washington Square, Greenwich Village , NYC.The part of New York that I love the best.❤️❤️❤️

squirrelbrain One of my favourite places in NYC too... a few years ago we went to Open House New York and were able to visit Edward Hopper‘s studio, with a view down onto the park ❤️ (edited) 4y

Leftcoastzen @eeclayton I saw that ! Hard to resist putting it in there , Holden‘s not so good very bad day.😃 4y

Leftcoastzen @squirrelbrain I‘ve never visited the studio, would love to. 4y

Leftcoastzen @Cathythoughts I am thinking I want to as well . See if I still like it , liked this one too

Beautiful Player (Original) | Christina Lauren

September 11th: #3Books #SetinNewYorkCity 🏙🍕🍎

The Beautiful Series by Christina Lauren is a really good romance series that primarily takes place in NYC. The tagged book is my favorite couple of the series. The first couple, Bennett & Chloe, I actually dislike...but I love their friends so I kept reading 📖 I have yet to finish the series, but I will get around to it.

The Catcher in the Rye | J. D. Salinger

#3books #setinNewYorkCity
The Catcher in the Rye and The Age of Innocence are among my favourites. Hangman was OK, but not as good as the first book in the Ragdoll trilogy.
