I hardly ever listen to audio but I was obsessed with this book! It was so much fun, taught me a lot about subjects I knew nothing about, and despite the nature of Margo's employment, which first had me raising my eyebrows, I really found it to be meaningful, moving and sweet. Extra points for Margo's parenting style 🙂

On another note - I worry these audiobooks on Spotify are somehow unethical but I don't know enough about it.

Suet624 Unethical in what way? 5h

I think I would have enjoyed this more 20 years ago, but I still enjoyed it, with some caveats. My knowledge of Shakespeare is pretty shameful and maybe theatre students really do speak in Shakespeare quotes to each other, but that eventually started to grate a bit. The writing isn't terrible considering how young the author was, though, and I found the characters interesting and real, if perhaps a bit underdeveloped. I had to know what happened!

Clare-Dragonfly Considering how often my friends and I communicate in showtunes, I 100% believed that students steeped in Shakespeare 24/7 would communicate in Shakespeare! 😂 2d

Pros: a wild ride set against the backdrop of real South African politics and a real rumour that billions belonging to Muammar Gaddafi ended up in South Africa. At times I struggled to keep everything straight!

Cons: I didn't care for his fictionalised names of real people (done to avoid libel, I guess) and I don't remember there ever being so many grammatical errors in one of his books.

All in all, Meyer really is very good at what he does!

I arrived in Cape Town late afternoon and have nothing to do tonight - feeling very useless/unpopular/lonely. I went for a walk and saw some cute squirrels - we don't see/have them where I live. Aside from a bit of prep I need to do for the 3 days in the office, I plan on reading more of the tagged book, which I was enjoying on the plane.

Kristin_Reads A walk and a book sounds lovely! I visited many years ago and think that Cape Town is a beautiful city… and the cute squirrel is a bonus! 3w
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Kristin_Reads it is beautiful and it was a beautiful day. Sadly these days I always stay a few minutes from the office = far from the beach when I come here. It was still a lovely arrival 3w

I'm not sure this was the best book for me right now. I mostly enjoyed it but I don't know. Some of it seems like personal opinions on art and the future and the economy disguised as part of the narrative. And the ending really depressed me! But still, most of it was humorous and poignant and relatable so don't pay me too much mind.

2. My partner completed his outpatient programme and had another really good week
3. Work was not too hectic (boss was away, which is always nice 🙂)

At one point I was very confused with the different generations and where we were, more or less, in the timeline. And it was also so depressing. But I'm glad I persevered and especially loved the last few chapters.

Twi is the main Ghanaian language we work with and I recently needed to read up on the Akan dialect family, so I found all the history around the Asante incredibly interesting. There was so much suffering, though.

MommyWantsToReadHerBook I now join all the others who have recommended this book as an important and brilliant read 1mo
tpixie It‘s an excellent book. I did the audio and realized too late that I really should‘ve made a family tree as I started reading it. Apparently the book has a family tree in it. Maybe the Internet does by now. … 1mo

Today was a hard day. My partner has so many health and mental health issues and when I saw him today, I realised how scary tired he is - more than usual. It's just always something, it seems. Anyway I'm heading to the library in the morning as I read all my other loans except Homegoing, which I'm finding not exactly uplifting.

Any suggestions for reads that are light and/or engaging but not cheesy?

The Sittaford Mystery | Agatha Christie

Pickpick

I don't remember when I last read this one - the joys of getting older and being able to forget every single thing about a Christie novel. It's one of her (underrated, in my opinion) novels with no Poirot or Miss Marple, just a cast of characters we get to know who solve the mystery on their own. Emily is delightfully plucky, brave and loyal. I really enjoyed it again!

A wonderful Litten (I feel awful - I've completely forgotten who) sent me a parcel of books a few years ago (now our post office system has almost completely collapsed). I read Fates and Furies and it was good, but intense. I can't explain why it took me so long to pick this one up. Her writing is definitely unique; I often find it difficult to understand her characters emotionally. But the story is engrossing and the magical realism so well done.

BarbaraJean I haven‘t yet read anything by Lauren Groff, though I‘ve been meaning to! (I own Fates & Furies and Arcadia already 🤦🏻‍♀️) Which of her books do you recommend? 2mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @BarbaraJean I've only read these two. For some reason the cover of Florida really captivated me, even though I think I missed that it was short stories, which I sometimes don't like 2mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @BarbaraJean I think you would like Monsters. The description of Arcadia sounds really good too. Maybe I'm being unkind to Fates and Furies but my memories of it are a bit depressing. 2mo

Ever since I bought The Folded Earth by accident and loved it, I felt like Anuradha Roy was my own special secret. I hadn't thought to look for more of her books but came across this in the library and it was wonderful. I read it slowly, through many interruptions. Her writing is clear, precise and rich; never flowery or sentimental. Such a contrast to the previous book I finished. Just beautiful.

Hello Beautiful | Ann Napolitano

Mehso-so

I have so many opinions. I don't really care for her writing and the way the timeline went back and forth in beginning I really disliked - all throughout the book actually it felt like she was writing about the same thing over and over again from different angles to get the most mileage out of it and it annoyed me. Other peeves included Alice the miracle baby who didn't need food or attention for 15 hours or something, the number of times ⬇️

MommyWantsToReadHerBook she mentions characters' curly hair, the one-dimensionality of the characters, everything about Julia, the depiction of depression and medication, the unrealistic, dramatic loss near the end just so it dovetails with Little Women. 2mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook I liked William and the basketball injuries parts the best. I found it readable and somehow not unenjoyable despite all my issues. I guess that says something? 2mo

This was one of those serendipitous times when I browse the Kindle for a book people have been racing about and it's a wonderful deal!

I loved it so much. It gave me a lot to think about regarding my own depression, suicidal thoughts and divorce. It made me think about my current love and the kind of life I want. I loved all the themes she touched on lightly, like asking for what you want. I can see why everyone loves it so much!

All Fall Down: A Novel | Jennifer Weiner

This was my rescue (I guess my sister bought it for Kindle) when I ran out of books on the plane and the flight left at 23:15. I have mixed feelings about Jennifer Weiner's writing but found this quite enjoyable. I could relate somewhat to her difficult child and financial worries though my situation was never that bad. I did want to throttle her while she was in denial and thinking she was so much better than others, though.

Maybe I need to accept that I just don't like Ishiguro's books since Never let me go. This had its moments but was mostly strange and ended on such a depressing note. Maybe one needs more knowledge on Arthurian legends.

BarbaraJean I felt similarly about this one and I do have a little background in Arthurian legends (well, a couple of college classes 25 years ago 🙃)! I blamed my issues with it on listening to the audiobook instead of reading it in print, but maybe it was more than that... 3mo

Wonderful as always, this was my companion on the 13 hours or so I spent at Jomo Kenyatta airport trying to get home (and on the plane when we still thought we were leaving on time, haha.) The unravelling mystery from the past felt a bit like it had been done before but it was still good. I was super anxious about having packed my other book in my suitcase for some stupid reason.

I had this on my shelves for at least 11 years and never noticed the Ophrah's Book Club bubble. I'm not sorry I finally read it but the blurb on the back uses words like "sweet" and "tender" and for me it was brutal! Women trapped in awful marriages with no love. I wonder what I would have made of this if I read it long before I left my own marriage. It was another book from the 90s where the 10/11-year-old acts very much more grown up ⬇️

MommyWantsToReadHerBook than even my daughter who is 11 turning 12 and I'm quite baffled about whether it's a cultural thing. The children in this book are really treated horribly, emotionally speaking. 5mo

This was a random library loan for me and I kept postponing it but when I read it, I ended up really enjoying it. Based on true events in Ireland in the late 1800s, the story is told from the dual perspectives of the landowner's wife in prison and one of the servant girls who worked in the house, told in 1968. The events themselves are sad and the writing gets a bit flowery at the end but overall is beautiful and insightful.
