Open: An Autobiography | Andre Agassi
post image

I still have very little time to post, but here are the next 4 books I've read for the #52bookclub24 challenge.

eeclayton (5) Magical realism -- It's a heartbreaking and also heartwarming story, but it didn't resonate with me as much as it could have if it didn't use all these far-fetched elements like the all-knowing tree and literate mice and storyteller butterflies. 2w
eeclayton (10) Told in non-chronological order -- To me, the plot was more interesting than the first novel's, but the final chapter with the backstory was so long and boooring #noplacelikeHolmes 2w
eeclayton (14) A grieving character -- This trilogy will stay with me. I loved the third book, too. 2w

eeclayton (21) Written by a ghostwriter -- It's what the title promises: an intimate and brutally honest memoir with lots of life lessons, not the clichéd ones, but real thoughts that stem from real struggles. He doesn't shy away from recounting his bad decisions and taking responsibility. Great read. I also appreciate his afterword about the ghostwriter. 2w
Librarybelle Great choices for the prompts! 2w
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 2w
eeclayton @Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Thanks ☺️ I also love how I get to read titles I wouldn't have picked up if it wasn't for the challenge! 2w
Librarybelle Completely agree with that, @eeclayton ! 2w
BarbaraBB I am glad you have time to read 🤍 (edited) 2w

A murder mystery set at an exclusive summer beach town in Fire Island. This was a fun beach read!

Somehow the town of Salcombe is both toxic and cozy. Coming to life for the summer the small community of frenemies are backstabbing each other one moment and enjoying wholesome summer fun the next. I have huge admiration for how Rosenblum yoked those two opposing forces together to create characters we love to hate. There are mystery elements but really it is a social satire eviscerating rich New Yorkers, perfect summer read.

Libro super. Consiglio di leggerlo. Ti fa entrare nella testa di un professionista. Capire che le cose non sono scontate e si raggiungono sono con tanto impegno e mai senza difficoltà. Molto bello. Interessante, piacevole, scorrevole. Consigliato

To be fair, I didn‘t give this much of a chance, but tennis, a lot of closely packed words on the page and I just said, nope.

Incredible audiobook narrator that allows the listener to differentiate between the many characters easily thanks to her voice acting. In the vein of Big Little Lies, we have rich characters doing awful things, but you can‘t stop watching and wanting to know what happens.

I am so completely overwhelmed by the kindness of my Litsy friends. Thank you so very much, C. Ha-that bookmark is for my husbad to read! I look forward to reading this book, drinking tea and eating chocolate-hopefully unbothered. 🤣
