Beach Music: A Novel | Pat Conroy

pick

Another sweeping masterpiece by Pat Conroy. After his wife‘s suicide Jack leaves the US with his daughter to heal in Italy. South Carolina finds him though and carries him back. This almost 1,000 page book covered everything from WWII to the Vietnam War and beyond. #192025 (1995) #ReadingUSA (South Carolina)

BkClubCare 1000 pages? 5d

Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare yes, almost. Fixed my typo where I said almond instead of almost. I need to stop typing reviews on my phone without glasses 😂

The audiobook was 27 hours, so it was a chunkster! 5d

BkClubCare It‘s been on my list but… I am back into an anti-chunkster phase 😂 5d

Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare I hear you. I put it on my holds list before I saw how long it was and then almost quit. This time of year I am trying to meet my goals not spend half a month listening to one book. But it was worth it! 5d

Oof! So glad this is over. A 600 page picaresque comic novel that I didn‘t find very funny most of the time. I understand how it will appeal to some readers but alas not I. Buttoned up Raleigh Hayes leaves his ordered life in small town NC to go on a crazy quest to New Orleans on behalf of his estranged father. Along the way he reconnects with what‘s important in life.

The Member of the Wedding | Carson McCullers

Officiated my sister‘s wedding yesterday. I turned my cellphone off for the ceremony & never turned it on again until this morning, so I have no pictures…other than this one my cousin sent me!

It was a beautiful VT weekend on the cusp of Autumn, & my sister & her new husband are perfect for one another.

I may have had one Maple Old Fashioned too many. But I can‘t be blamed! The relief of being done with my responsibilities required celebration.

Aims42 You earned every single one of those Maple Old Fashioneds!! Yum 😋🍁🥃 1w

Suet624 No way! You were in Vermont??? Whereabouts? 1w

monalyisha @Suet624 The wedding was in Chittenden! Absolutely perfect days; clear blue skies with the trees just beginning to change color. Strong sunshine with a tiny nip in the fresh air. September‘s such a great month in New England, isn‘t it? 🍁 1w

Suet624 I‘ve never been to Chittenden. I had to look it up. It‘s two hours away from me. It has been an absolutely gorgeous weekend. It definitely felt like a fall day. I‘m glad it was such great weather for you. 1w

Graywacke @Suet624 I‘ll be disappointed if Audition and Seascraper aren‘t on the shortlist. Flesh belongs too. But i‘ve liked literally every book. So i‘ll be forgiving @dabbe thanks! 2w

Hanna-B Flesh was a marvellous confronting read, a lot of feelings arose 2w

Graywacke @Hanna-B i was thinking about it (Flesh) constantly for days after i finished … trying to resolve stuff in my head. 2w

Hanna-B I inhaled it. And know it‘s going to stick with me. A stark tale, unflinching and pragmatic with so many losses 2w

MY DARKEST PRAYER. | S. A. Cosby

pick

ACTION PACKED! Full of nefarious characters and explicit sex. S.A. Cosby‘s book allowed me to use adjectives I never have used before!

Nathan Waymaker,ex-marine & ex-cop, pulls out all his skills to solve the mysterious death of the town minister.

A genre of literature I‘m not used to-but liked this unusual book.
