I have a feeling this will be a bittersweet read without Bill.

TieDyeDude His absence is acknowledged, but not dwelled upon. It is handled well. 3d

Enjoying a crisp Sunday morning on the deck with a book and coffee, Daisy on my lap as usual. Not many more days to enjoy this time outdoors.

Although I liked The Searcher better, I do enjoy this duo/trio of characters and would love to read more with them. Tana French is always a pick for me.

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.

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.

Lincoln in the Bardo | George Saunders

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?

wanderinglynn I DNF‘d it at 25%. I thought it was overhyped & a bit pretentious. 6mo
Tamra This one has been my favorite audiobook experience! 😃 I know it isn‘t for everyone, but once I let go of trying to keep everything and every character (including footnotes) straight early on and just let it flow, it was captivating. It‘s like dipping in & out of conversations as an evesdropper. (edited) 6mo
Scochrane26 I really liked this book (I did physical copy), but I can understand if others don‘t. It‘s a different style & I think took me awhile to get into. 6mo

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.
