pickRoy's style is everything I've ever wanted in a novel. From the fractured timeline to the repeated thematic phrasing to the bleak outlook that culminates in the bliss of being human - everything struck me here. Roy's novel moves through colonialism, abuse, criticisms of caste, and the many ways that love can be understood (and misunderstood) by children. I was struck by this one and look forward to more from Roy, starting with her upcoming memoir!
pick897 pages later, and I am a better person for it. Masterful, brilliant, heart wrenching, full of anger and sadness and wit and humor. I absolutely loved it. And yep, I know this much is true 😉
(Side note: Wally Lamb lists Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as the first book he read that inspired his writing life. I LOVED Mrs. PW 😊♥️).
I miss you every day… happy Father‘s Day in heaven dad! #father #junespecials @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Gia North‘s lungs ached as she tore through the trees.
#FirstLineFridays I always get R.L. Stine vibes when a book starts with a character's full name lol This is a fun YA Thriller
pickI think this is a lesser known Heyer, but for me it is up there with the best of them. Romance, comedy and great characters. Totally delightful, but have you ever seen a less appropriate cover for a Heyer @LeahBergen ?
so-soI finished it, so I guess that‘s something. I am not really sure I understood it though. Three separate narratives concerning family, identity, fraud. There was something about it that kept me reading, but when I got to the end I was a little bit 🤷♀️.
In the final hours of a weekend away for our wedding anniversary 😌
