I loved Yellowface so not sure why I‘m surprised that I‘m enjoying this so much but, I‘m really enjoying this dark academia novel. The footnote reading in the audio version though, not so much.

Up next.
Quiet day outside reading with (one of) my favorite girl.

Well that didn‘t take long.

I liked this one so much more than I thought I would. There is a lot going on in both narratives and much is unresolved but it was an interesting and emotional historical telling in dual-narrative format that held my interest to the end.
I really enjoyed Before We Were Yours and hoping this one strikes a similar chord.
I love SA Cosby‘a raw and gritty Southern crime fiction. This earlier novel isn‘t quite as tight as his three later ones but still has all the same style.

Got a new S.A. Cosby for June‘s #AuthorAMonth
Loved the first three I‘d read so much I thought it would be worth the purchase!
@Soubhiville
I‘ve read this so many times over the years I thought I‘d give the audio a try.
Ummm, meh? I didn‘t get it. And I really wanted to love it. There was just so much going on it was hard for me to see the point. Anyone else?
Just started the audio. Not enjoying it as much as The Dreamers but hoping it gets more interesting soon.
Although the narrator is excellent, the narrative felt a bit disjointed. I think I might have followed the timeline better if read. Very well researched.
Looks like Sunday morning…
Dogs ✔️ Book ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Couch ✔️

I did not enjoy listening to the audio as much as I did reading the book. I thought it was more difficult to keep track of the characters and connect the storylines. Still, a pick for me. Love this author.

Overcast, drizzly days are made for books, dogs, cats and coffee. (Or is that every day?) ☺️

Anyone else fixate on how often Mouse says Salerno Butter Cookies and find it the most hilariously annoying thing they‘ve ever heard? No? Just me? 😂
Reading this gave me a much better appreciation for the considerable amount of bs Britney Spears has been through and the level of resilience she must possess to have come out of her experiences with any degree of normalcy. Perfectly narrated by Michelle Williams.
Listened to this on audio, narrated by the author, and I just didn‘t love it. I feel like this is a book that I might like the movie version better of.

I‘ve got a stack of books I‘m part-way through so I‘ll be reading this one today. It‘s a gorgeous day, I might even be able to read outside.
Friday night‘s like…
It‘s a books and brackets Sunday. And cats. 😻
#catsoflitsy
I rarely bail on a book but this one - I can‘t even.
Yes, I will be ditching Luckiest Girl Alive for this!
Making another appearance is The Vaster Wilds in print. Just can‘t find much time to read, but I am starting a new audio.

A little more than half-way in and I‘m having a hard time staying with this. I can‘t get into the audio and feel like I would enjoy the book more if read.
So, I don‘t know. Half-way in and I don‘t really know what this is about. There are a lot of tangents and a lot of quotes from other people.
Not quite 3 stars for Harlem Shuffle but thought I might like Crook Manifesto better. I didn‘t dislike either, just didn‘t really like them. I‘ll probably try the sequel again later.
What I love most about Jane Harper‘s writing is her ability to so masterfully craft the landscape that it becomes its own character, serving as an antagonist that weaves itself around every aspect, moving the story forward. This one just didn‘t quite get there for me.
Still, very well done, excellent narration.
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Starting today for March‘s #AuthorAMonth 🤗
One of my favorite authors with another book featuring one of my favorite literary detectives.
@Soubhiville
Indeed, the wait is over. 🤗
I didn‘t know the Oscar nominated film American Fiction was adapted from this novel but I‘ll have to watch it once I‘ve finished the book.
2nd reading of this one, first in print several years ago and now on audio. I was in love with this the first time I read it. Not as wholly captivated the second time around but still a solid 4-star. It‘s a heavy book but Lauren Groff‘s writing is superb, as always.
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Two audiobooks were so good that I listened to them every free minute and stayed up to finish. Books that long and that good-when you‘re so close you just have to go for it. The Fireman and Wolf Hall.

Just started The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store on audio today and still reading The Vaster Wilds in print.
