Raising Hare: A Memoir | Chloe Dalton

I‘m enjoying this book SO very much, and have already learned quite a bit. That being said, here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice: agouti. I‘m referring to the coloration, but an agouti is also a type of wild rodent (where the name for the coloration came from). Here‘s a Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agouti_(coloration)

From the authors note: “We must all be more Iona.” I couldn‘t agree more, and if you‘ve read this book, you‘ll understand. Very much in the vein of the wonderful poem, “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat, which doesn‘t go, and doesn‘t suit me.” 🫟💜

BkClubCare LOVED THIS 💕 I have enjoyed all her feisty old lady books!! 3d
Amiable I used to commute on the train for about 8 years—this book amused me with its depictions of commuters! 1d

CBee @Amiable would you believe I‘ve never ridden on a train? 😳 1d
Amiable @CBee Really? I‘d say that surprises me, but if you live somewhere where there aren‘t a lot of options for train travel then it makes sense. The congested northeast corridor really requires multiple options for commuting. I love traveling on the train and prefer it to airplanes. We take Amtrak to Baltimore (@ 6 hours) every few months to visit our youngest son, too. It‘s also a great way to get around Europe- and the trains there are on time! 😀 21h
CBee @Amiable I‘ve always lived in the south (grew up in MS but now live in AL), so yeah, not much train travel around here. At least not that I‘m aware of. 16h

First initial review was four stars because I felt like the ending was a bit too tidy and somewhat unrealistic. THEN I read this part of the author‘s note - bumped it right up to five stars. Honestly, it was a fantastic read and I flew through it. Beware of multiple TW. #readyourkindle

Really enjoyed this! I‘d been hesitant to read or watch anything Bourdain related as his death was so shocking to me when it happened. Loved hearing about the crazy adventures and what it was like behind the scenes. Wish Tony had been more willing to truly let people in and been in therapy for a lot longer - who knows if it might have gone differently 😓😞

CBee Thanks to you, Meg, for this rec! @Megabooks 3w
TheBookHippie His death really hit. Kate Spade too. 3w
CBee @TheBookHippie agreed on both. Agonizing for their families not to really have that closure 😔 3w

Megabooks It‘s sad that no one close to him realized how deeply lonely he was. Laurie Woolever (his assistant) had a great quote about his death in her new book. Let me see if I can pull it. 3w
Megabooks Quote: “As angry as I felt about he way that her (Asia Argento's) behavior had humiliated and devastated Tony, I could also see the essential truth: Asia may have been the catalyst, but she was not the cause. She didn't kill Tony.
The cause of Tony's death was Tony, a human, mortal, grown man who loved and suffered so deeply that it killed him. He was lonely and stubborn and delusional, and despite his intellect and world-weariness, he was (Con't)
3w
Megabooks ...a bone-deep believer in romantic old-school fucking Romeo and Juliet-style love. He'd survived heroin addiction and all kinds of dangerous and terrifying shit all over the world, but in a specific moment in his extraordinary life, he didn't have the resilience to survive the cruel and brutal end of his last great love affair.“

This just killed me. She hit the nail on the head, though.
3w
CBee @Megabooks oh shit. That quote is spot on. Adding her book to my TBR ASAP! 3w

I don‘t know why it took me so long to read this. I loved Homegoing and I think something told me this would be a difficult read as well. Oh, it was difficult, but also SO beautiful. So many times I was saying “yes” in my head, or nodding, particularly when Gyasi writes about religion (I grew up in a southern Baptist church). So many heavy, sad topics packed into these pages. I loved it.

Sargar114 Homegoing was so good! I should read this one too! 3w

This is not your typical Lisa Jewell book; if you‘re expecting a thriller, you won‘t find it in these pages. What it is - quite a dark and rather disturbing read about one of the most dysfunctional families ever fictionalized (is that a word?). Not sure what it says about me, but I loved it and couldn‘t put it down. #readyourkindle

He was watching a play through of a favorite video game and mentioned how one villain shows up at the start, but you don‘t actually fight the villain until the end.

Happy March, friends! Bit of a different prompt this time - I fell in love with graphic novels after I hit a slump a couple years ago but, if it isn‘t your jam, I understand! If anyone needs recommendations, let me know 😊 #TBRtarot

AmyG We could just pick a memoir? Or does the memoir have to be a graphic novel/comic? 2mo
See All 33 Comments
Ruthiella This is a difficult sub genre and medium for me because I don‘t gravitate towards either and yet I just read one LAST MONTH! 😂😂😂 2mo
CBee @AmyG graphic anything. Memoir, novel, even like a book of comic strips. I just read a graphic memoir I think you‘d love actually: 2mo
CBee @Ruthiella I didn‘t either! But I went through the worst slump ever a few years ago and the graphic novel/series, Saga, pulled me out of it ♥️ 2mo
Balibee146 All the pretty colours caught my eye lol. How does #tbrTarot work please? Is it one themed read a month or more often.... I'm intrigued? 😘😘😘 2mo
CatLass007 Hi @Balibee146 Yes, every month the marvelous @CBee gives us a prompt. The idea is to choose something you already own and have been meaning to get to for a while. @CBee am I phrasing this correctly? By the way, I already on the perfect book for this prompt. It is George Takei‘s graphic memoir of his family‘s time in an American prison camp during World War II. (edited) 2mo
AmyG Thanks! 2mo
willaful I've been reading a lot of them the last few years! I highly recommend The Talk by Darrin Bell. 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 yep, that‘s right 😊 @Balibee146 please scroll around on my page and check out some of the prompts I‘ve chosen and let me know what you think! At first it was a premade deck of cards that I found on Etsy, but we got through all of those and now I make my own 😊 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve heard good things about the Takei. And thanks for the compliment, sweet lady ♥️♥️ 2mo
CBee @AmyG also, there is a graphic adaptation of Anne Frank‘s story - worth it for the art alone (I say that because I almost know the story by heart as I‘m sure you do too) (edited) 2mo
CatLass007 @willaful The Talk is on my wish list. I‘ve heard good things about it and I look forward to your review. I‘m trying to focus on my physical and audio books that already are in my possession. I‘m working to deaccession my physical library as much as possible.

CBee @CatLass007 so happy you‘re enjoying it! 2mo
CatLass007 I‘m a few months behind but I have the books picked out and March is going to be my catch up month. 2mo
OriginalCyn620 I love graphic novels too! And as it happens, this one is on my TBR for this month! 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 sounds like a plan 😊👍🏻 2mo
CBee @julieclair yay! 2mo
CatLass007 @OriginalCyn620 Good choice! 2mo
CatLass007 @julieclair Looks really intriguing! 2mo
Balibee146 @CatLass007 @CBee thanks so much that sounds fantastic 😀 I hardly read any graphic stuff but I do have an amazeballs novel I've been meaning to get to for ages and also Maus (though I think that one would hit too near to home just now). 2mo
CatLass007 @Balibee146 Terrific! I can‘t wait to read your review of whatever you choose for this prompt. 2mo
julieclair @CatLass007 Robert Smalls is a local hero, so it will be fun to read about him in graphic form. 😀 2mo
CBee @Balibee146 I started Maus a while back but didn‘t finish - I don‘t recall why but maybe it just wasn‘t the right time. Which amazeballs novel are you talking about? Inquiring nosy reader minds want to know 😂😂 2mo
Meshell1313 Ooh this one is so interesting! I also have my eyes on Takei‘s graphic memoir so I‘m going to read it this month for sure! 2mo
CBee @Meshell1313 definitely a popular choice for this prompt 👍🏻 2mo
Balibee146 @CBee it is already too dark here to get good pics to do the amazing artwork justice. I will post properly tomorrow with pics. It is called Legend and is animal based.... The quote on the cover suggests "Cormac McCarthy meets Watershio Down".... Sold! 2mo

This really captured so much, but also really paralleled in so many ways what our country is going through now (again). The elation I felt and HOPE when Obama won; the absolute terror when Trump won and then won again. Excellent read. So much packed into these pages.

HeatherBookNerd I loved that book. So fantastic. 2mo

#TBRtarot for March - written by an LGBTQ+ author - done! I loved this so much and seriously need the 2nd in the series immediately 👏🏻

PirateJenny It's out! The Shadow Cabinet. And a standalone, Queen B. Human Rites, the third in the series, is due out this summer. Yes, I love these books. 2mo
CBee @PirateJenny I wish my library had it! Might have to cave and buy it. I saw the Queen B book and that looks super good too 👏🏻 2mo

This resolved everything from the last book, which I was happy about, but I didn‘t expect to be so absolutely blown away - this is my favorite of the series thus far. I love Gamache, but I also like that despite his kindness, his brilliance, he is human and makes mistakes. It showed a whole different side of him and now I love him even more ♥️ #readyourkindle

Okay, so I‘d checked this out from the library, started it, and it made me so uncomfortable. Then, lovely @AmyG gifted it to me and I figured the universe must be trying to tell me to read it. I ended up absolutely HOOKED. Yes, it‘s SO CRINGY at times, and there are definitely triggers. I hated Doug with a passion. Just wow, this could easily be a favorite of the year for me.

How to describe this? Ultimately, I kind of loved it, but with reservations. I felt like there were too many storylines, and some of those weren‘t fleshed out enough. It feels like she tried to pack SO MUCH into the book but left out some important parts. That being said, I LOVE her writing and I love her characters. What does it say about me that some of Vera‘s “madness” made sense? 😂🤷‍♀️

ChasingOm I‘m reading her most recent (tagged) and it‘s making me want to read her backlist. 3mo
CBee @ChasingOm I LOVED Margo ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
Suet624 @ChasingOm After reading Margo I started reading her backlist. I think this particular book is my least favorite but like @Cbee says the way she writes her characters and their challenges is so good. 3mo

CBee @AmyG I thought you‘d read that a while back! Wasn‘t it wonderful? The 2nd one is just as good. 3mo
CBee @AmyG I also realized I could read more John Boyne, maybe finally even read Shuggie Bain if I can get in the right mindset! 3mo
CBee Guys, you could also do Steven Rowley - the Guncle series! I could do 3mo
CatLass007 Yes, I read the first one and I adored it! I‘ve also read Under the Whispering Door and it‘s marvelous. I am now a huge fan of TJ Klune and intend to actually buy every book that he writes. Or every audiobook I mean. His books are so uplifting and I think they are books that I‘ll want to hear again and again. I haven‘t had this much love for an author in ages. 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 I also loved Under the Whispering Door! He‘s one of my favorites as well. I still need to read 3mo
CatLass007 I need to read them all over and over again! 3mo
CatLass007 And Katherine Center. I am not a romance reader, but I don‘t think she writes pure romance novels. I think she writes about real people and real experiences good and bad. So I only own one of her books so far but TJ Klune is going to take precedence. In the meantime, there‘s always Libby. 3mo
Ruthiella This has long been on my TBR 3mo
ChelseaM6010 I‘ll be checking out Ocean Vuong, starting with the tagged book! 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 I read one of her books a couple of years ago and actually really liked it! And I‘m not a romance reader either. 3mo
CBee @Ruthiella 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo
CBee @ChelseaM6010 I‘ve heard only good things about Vuong! 3mo
Meshell1313 @CatLass007 @OriginalCyn620 ooh we have a mini buddy read! Can‘t wait to dive in and to see what you both think! 3mo
Bklover Probably will read Roxana Gay since that is our #authoramonth pick. 3mo
julieclair I will be reading either Ayita or Bad Feminist, by Roxane Gay. 3mo
CBee @Bklover I‘ve only read Untamed State - excellent book! 3mo
CBee @julieclair awesome! I loved her book, Untamed State. 3mo
