Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

38/80

TieDyeDude Agreed. I read it pretty soon after reading Rebecca, and it was fun to compare the two. 5h
TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude That had to be a fun comparison! There were some definite Rebecca vibes; a little Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and even some VC Andrews vibes, too 3h

It's a dreary day--perfect for reading!!! Another #BlameItOnLitsy read

bookandbedandtea So dreary! I'm refusing to complain about the rain since we get so little of it but I'm hoping we'll see the sun again tomorrow... I'm not used to going without it for 3 days. 🙃 Enjoy the perfect reading weather! 4d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It's NY weather 😝 However, it does lend itself to good reading and bookshelf rearranging time. But, yeah, I want the sun back!! 4d

Not a favorite. The Chilean civil war was interesting; the rest not so much.

The story of friendship will stay with me because it was that good. But the writing was off. I didn't care for the dual timeline because the present parts were boring and flat and felt like they were written by someone else. The ending dragged and I just couldn't wait for it to be over. So disappointing.

35/80

CSeydel Oh no! I‘m sorry to hear that. Disappointing! 2w
marleed Oh dang. It‘s always fascinating to read when a book hits differently for someone else than it did for me! 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Lol it is. I thought the same when I saw you gave five stars. I was so disappointed with the writing. I love his his style of story telling, but it was barely present in this book. It's like his heart wasn't in it. 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie They are! Classic Backman 💞 (It's the rest of the book that I'm having trouble with though. It doesn't feel classic Backman) 2w
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau interesting. Apparently he had to rewrite most of it because the original draft was really dark and the two timeline thing is new. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie Ahhhhhh, makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing that 😊 I would've preferred it without two timelines 2w
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau I‘m tired of the two timeline tripe also. I still haven‘t read this book yet, but it seems like every historical fiction book has to have two timelines. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @tpixie I usually don't mind a dual timeline. But it was just annoying in this book. I don't want to say more than that since you haven't read it. 2w
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau I‘ll get back to you later on it! 1w

My part of house painting is done! ???? Now the Mr. Just has to finish all the parts I couldn't reach, and the cutting in that just isn't my forté ?

I have now moved on to gardening, which I know nothing about ? Taking a break to start the new Backman ?

Very much felt like an elderly coming of age story for 70 year old Tommy who thought he could back to his old life. I kept hearing Billy Joel in my head, "then the king and queen went back to the green, but you can never go back there again." It also felt Twilight Zone-y as Tommy walked around Downtown not understanding why it all looked so different, and feeling like an "old fool" for thinking it'd be the same.

What a fascinating imagining of the people who shared in the life of an ancient text. It really brings to mind just how much was lost in book burnings of yore.

The overwhelming crowds make a visit to The Stanley rather underwhelming 🤷🏻‍♀️

bookandbedandtea Why are there always sooooo many people in Estes?? 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Omg, it was horrible!! The West's equivalent to summer in The Hamptons 😂😂 Saturday there wasn't a parking spot to be found in town. So glad that was when we chose to visit Rocky Mountain state park!! 4w
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Weekends in Estes are generally hideous (I assume as I haven't been there in years- see hideousness!) but RMSP is a delight. Maybe I'll suggest to the hubby that it's time for a visit... if we can bear to drive through Estes! 4w

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea As we have discovered!! 😤 RMSP is breath taking, at least the 3 miles of it that we hiked 😂 Unfortunately Estes is a main access point so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever been to Tahosa Coffee House on the way to Estes? 4w
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I'm glad you enjoyed your time at RMSP! About 3 years ago we did the Bear Lake Loop (easy "hiking" being my speed ?) which was wonderful and gorgeous but the crowds chased us out when we tried to wander through Estes itself. I don't believe I've ever been to Tahosa Coffee House. 3w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea If you'd been, you'd remember! It's an absolutely beautiful stone building that shares property with the Chapel on the Rock. And the views of Longs Peak are just 😍😍There's a stations of the cross hike that we didn't get to do bc we spent 3 hours just taking pictures and staring at the views. Has a very alpine village feel to it. 3w
