Sophie's Choice | William Styron

I have a list of 100 classics that I call my book bucket list. It may take me until my dying day to finish it but after this I will only have 88 more to go.

Dragon This book is so good, but a box of Kleenex will be needed 👍 8y

The Nest: A Novel | Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
Mehso-so

I heard so much about this book and I was underwhelmed by it. They all seemed needy and entitled. After all the dysfunction throughout the book I felt it needed a different ending. Not one the was wrapped up with a pretty bow and everyone was good.

Viji Good point about the ending! 8y

My book seat came in the mail today and am so excited!! Saw them first at #bookriotlive but wasn't sure how I would get two of them (one for the hubby one for me) home on the plane. Ordered on line and can read hands free now!!

Something juicy to curl up with. Freezing rain outside, fire and tea, and a hot book inside. 🔥

Oh... my... word... that was great!!! Not the ending I was wanting but I like it when it goes that way. Life usually doesn't so my books shouldn't either.

Listened to this on my ten hour drive to Virginia and loved it. You never know what a family's past may hold. Would highly recommend.

So excited about saga! Used my $32 from the apple lawsuit. I think I may have had that $32 for about 1/2 hour before I had to use it. I AM TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH MY BOOKS!!

MrBook 😂👍🏻 That's how fast my credit would get used too! 8y

This is my happy place. I tend to read just about anything but I love to read about females in history such as Eva Peron, Amelia Earhart (working on my own pilots license), English royalty, and Eva Braun. @Liberty

Finished this in anticipation for volume 6 soon. If you have never ventured into graphic novels this is an awesome way to start. Has a strong leading female character, the art is wonderful and beautiful, and the story is fantastic!

Going back and reading some highly recommended books that I have missed. Almost finished with The Bell Jar. Not the best book to read right after A Little Life but it has made me really think differently. That's what I love about reading, you get to experience different journeys.
