QUESTION??? Do you think JOY is a virtue? To satisfy a challenge category…

Ruthiella No. It is an emotion. Sorry. 2mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - no apology needed. Is JOYFUL a virtue? Is the word “TRUE” able to fit a virtue category? (If yes, I can read

This Much is True

(edited) 2mo

SpellboundReader I've seen virtue defined as 'an inherent character trait.' So I guess it depends on if you consider being joyful, a character trait? 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

so-so

The book was too long and I got bored. I was happily following along until about a third in, and I wasn‘t sensing any critical arc coming anytime soon, so I skimmed through to read the last few chapters or so. 💄🌹🥀😆 Red frame to Copper‘s frank expression.

The Bandit Queens: A Novel | Parini Shroff

Look at this face! Nothing whatsoever to do with this book review but I don‘t have the energy to find the book and create the scene. #CopperBopper #Griff #whpg #TotalWeirdoDogLoveBug

I am giving this 5 star because it made me feel and made me think. It made me mad and it made my heart ache. It impressed me mightily as a debut! And I love that Elizabeth McCracken is one of the author‘s friends. (My dog is a weirdo, so am I.) & I embrace theme 👇

BkClubCare that women need friends and women are fierce and fierce friends are the best. 💪🙋🏻‍♀️🚺🧗‍♀️🦎 10mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - thx 😊 But was this *REALLY* a review? 😂 I liked it SO much better than this ordeal that Demon Copperhd is putting me thru so far and I think the comparison helped mightily in my rx. 10mo

BkClubCare @Gissy - this image gave me trouble! For as simple as it looks. And getting these two to pose is also a challenge. 1y

Ruthiella I used to just hold out a treat and my dogs would look expectantly at the camera. Cats are a whole ‘nother challenge. 1y

Gissy @BkClubCare I can imagine☺️ 1y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - these two are not yet “friends” and Copper wants his TREAT NOW!!! So it is nigh impossible with just me 🤣 1y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - cats?! 📸😆🐱 1y

BkClubCare It is possible, very possible, that ToB discussions will show me how stupid and impatient I am when it comes to great literature 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 1y

SamAnne 😂😂😂. More geese! More geese! I will be skipping this read. Thank you for the review. 1y

BkClubCare @SamAnne - eeek! I always get nervous when people say they‘ll skip a book — But what if it would be perfect FOR YOU?! 🤣 I am at that point in the TOB list that I have too many books to read. #sigh And no motivation to give them “proper due” (proper DO?!) 1y

Larkken #thoughtitwouldhavemoregeese sums up my general ambivalence about this year‘s list, tbh. @BkClubCare I‘ve been much more impatient with the books on this years list than previous years, and it‘s surprising me! 1y

SamAnne @BkClubCare hah! My TBR is plenty big as it is. 1y

Chelsea.Poole lol!! Where‘s the goose emoji?? 🦆 close enough 🤷🏼‍♀️ 1y

BkClubCare @Chelsea.Poole LOL - I almost emoji-ed the 🦆 but thought I might be ridiculed 🤣 1y

Greenwich Park | Katherine Faulkner

I am not a fan of mystery/thrillers unless they have the warp and weft of “literary fiction” more than a genre formula. I do understand that defining such is difficult! (At least for me…) this one bugged me from the first page. I skipped and tested my way through and read the ending, calling it done. #BookClub #ReadICT #ColorinTitle category #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #whpg #eBook

It‘s a Christmas Miracle! I finished a book with “Christmas” in the title ON Christmas Day! And I loved it. We are fighting the 🦠 germs, sadly, and feel awful, so I needed a sweet/hot romance 💝 to cheer me. I even cried at the end! 😂

Jess861 Is that a griffon? 😍 (edited) 1y

BkClubCare @Jess861 - yes! This is Copper who is not being helpful as I attempt to do yoga. He is 3, we just adopted him. Esther is our other #whpg, she is 12 yo 1y

Jess861 @BkClubCare omg too cute - you don't see them around much. My parents have two - 12 and 10 years old. 1y

BkClubCare @Jess861 - awesome! They are special. We‘ve had 4. Are your parents in the Griffology group on FB? 1y

Jess861 @BkClubCare - They aren't - only my mom has a fb account and I don't think she really uses it. I'll have to let her know about the group if she does use her account a bit though. 1y

BkClubCare @Jess861 - 😊💝 1y

Ruthiella Hope you feel better soon! 🤒❤️ 1y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - thanks, (and sadly, most of my worry on this is job-related. Ugh?!) 1y
