Things You Should Know
Things You Should Know | A M. Homes
10 posts | 2 read | 1 reading
In this stunningly original collection, A. M. Homes writes with terrifying compassion about the things that matter most. Homes's distinctive narrative illuminates our dreams and desires, our memories and losses, and demonstrates how extraordinary the ordinary can be. With uncanny emotional accuracy, wit, and empathy, Homes takes us places we recognize but would rather not go alone.

@Andrew65 #WeekendReading prompt has me thinking about how I am going to spend my post-blizzard Saturday. On tap, my #bookspin and #doublespin and my second #NYWD22 selection. It‘s ambitious to think I might complete any of them, but I will give it a go. Art by my daughter- a huge self portrait which was an art school assignment and now watches over me while I sleep.

Andrew65 Hope you enjoy your reading. 2y

AlaMich May I ask how you came to live in Israel, if that‘s not a prying question? 😊 (edited) 4y
TrishB I‘m in that bookshop ❤️ 4y
Butterfinger I would love to know what the perfect Israeli breakfast is. 4y
Samary I‘ll go in on Bloomin‘ Books with you! 😊🤘 4y
KarenUK Thanks for the tag.... I‘ll have a think! 😘💕 4y
Megabooks Bloomin‘ Books sounds good! 4y
ValerieAndBooks 32 years for me and hubby, too (next month) ... 1988 was a good year 😊! 4y
LeahBergen My closet is mostly blacks and greys, too. 😆 4y
Cinfhen 1988 was a GREAT year @ValerieAndBooks ♥️ 4y
Cinfhen I could use a partner or two @Samary 😊it would be the happiest place on earth / books & flowers 📚🌸 and you‘re all invited to shop the Litsy friends & family discount code @Megabooks @TrishB 💚💚💚 4y
Cinfhen It‘s a long story @AlaMich but at 451 characters it was a business opportunity and the right time in our lives for a lifestyle change. Now in our 6th year, I think I can say it was a wise move. 4y
Cinfhen The perfect Israeli breakfast is a hazelnut latte, with 3 egg herb omelet, fresh baked sourdough bread, spreads, Mediterranean salad with feta cheese, olives & a pastry dough filled with mashed potatoes & fried mushrooms @Butterfinger my hubby likes Shakshuka ( a spicy egg frittata) instead of the omelet😋It‘s delish!!! 4y
Cinfhen I‘m pretty sure most women over the age of 45 have identical closets @LeahBergen @Suet624 😉😁 4y
Suet624 @ValerieAndBooks My third marriage was in 1988 too! Married for 22 years and even though we‘ve divorced we‘re still friends and vacation together. 😂😂 4y
Cinfhen See, 1988 was a good year @Suet624 😉 4y
Megabooks Oh and your gift, which may have to do with books and blooms 😉🤷🏻‍♀️, is in Israeli customs, I think. It left the US July 19, but I know sometimes things can get caught up for awhile. I hope it gets to you soon. 💙💜 4y
AlaMich @Cinfhen Thanks! I was curious. 😊 4y
Cinfhen You‘re the best @Megabooks 😘😘 4y
Bette I would shop in Bloomin' Books. Boy, would it smell great in there: pages and flowers. 📚🌹 4y
BarbaraBB 10 is so cool! And I love the breakfast! 4y
Cinfhen Ha!!! Those were the days @BarbaraBB I don‘t know when I‘ll get to see a concert again 😢😢😢 4y
Cinfhen Thanks @Bette I‘d love to have you as a customer 🌻📚🌷📚 4y

#15factsaboutme

Thanks for the tag, @julesG - this was fun and I tried to add new facts this time around.

@Eyelit @Bklover @Liatrek wanna play?

Reggie Did Alanis have a break up or is this just a run of the mill album? 4y
dariazeoli @Reggie Alanis and her husband are still going strong, but she had her 3rd baby last year, so I‘m betting post-partum depression informed her writing. 4y

julesG Coffee maker right next to your bed? Wow! Also, I admire you being vegan. 4y
dariazeoli @VeganCleopatra @julesG I did it so I could make my early cup without disturbing the household, but I realize it makes me look like a bigger caffeine fiend than I am ☕️ 😆 (edited) 4y
VeganCleopatra Lol as a non-coffee drinker I would see that and think "She really isn't f-ing around is she?" ? But it comes from a very considerate space so that's great. 4y
LilMrmd79 I am also a Ravenclaw from NJ. 😉 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm There‘s a new Alanis Morissette album coming out?!?! ❤️😱❤️ 4y
slategreyskies @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I was thinking the same thing!! ✨⭐️🎉 4y
claudiuo Thanks a lot for mentioning a new album coming out, I had no idea and I love her music! 4y
dariazeoli I‘m loving all the Alanis love! 4y

rabbitprincess I once loaned my BF‘s mom a book I‘d read and she asked me if I had actually read it, because the spine was pristine 😂 She doesn‘t crack spines herself, but it was a large-ish paperback and not easy to read without inadvertent cracking. 4y
LibrarianRyan Now I want to read this smutty romance book. 😁 4y
dariazeoli Ooh, I just found an old 20 Things post.. time to come up with 15 more 🙂 4y

julesG @rabbitprincess It's definitely not easy to not crack the spine. Somehow I admire those cracked and used books other people have on their shelves, but I can't bring myself to treat my own books this way. 4y
julesG @dariazeoli I used some of the info from my old 20 things post. They haven't changed. 😉 4y
julesG @LibrarianRyan Well, maybe one day. It's been hibernating for 7 years now. I might give it another edit. Who knows, after all this time I might even like what I've written back then. I doubt it though. 😁 4y
Gissy I share somethings with you: I have more books than I can read; I like to do scrapbook which means I keep many materials too; i think I like to think I'm a witch, a good one of course☺️; and even though I prefer hardback books, with my paperbacks I try to not break the book spin either. 4y
wanderinglynn Ravenclaw! 💙🦅🙌🏻 4y
julesG @Gissy 👐🏻 There's nothing wrong with being a craft material hoarding, book loving witch. 😉 4y
CoffeeAndABook Absolutely Yessss to revisiting the smutty romance and maybe taking it a step further 🙌🏼 4y
julesG @CoffeeAndABook Thanks! I'm putting it on the schedule for once the school starts again. 4y

A. M Homes writing makes me uncomfortable, and I like that. This collection reminds me of Cheever though darker and way more twisted. #booktober
