so-so

I finally finished! The authors note described this as a pandemic Mish-mash and that is what it felt like. It came together for to a somewhat interesting conclusion; but definitely felt disjointed. Some stories I enjoyed, some j didn‘t, the house as a narrator just felt silly. But good enough for me to want to finish. Read for #literaryclub

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting the way it was set up and how we learned about each of the women in the book. The inclusion of the recipes was such a fun aspect as well. I have it a 5/5

The 1950s | William H. Young, Nancy K. Young

Another of my fave time periods to read about is the 1950s (and 60s!). Love the old timey diners. It‘s a whole vibe. 🕶️

AnnCrystal The oldies 🎶 from the 50s and 60s are some of my favorite years for music...and some of the final years that saw really good decor and fashion. 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🎶🥳🎶🐝💝. (edited) 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I agree!! I love the looks and vibes of the 50s and early 60s. Mad Men is my favorite show. If you enjoy period pieces it‘s a must! Greatest character study of all time. ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin This is great! As I was listening to the audiobook and realized there was a recipe for each character, I thought about checking to see if there was a list of the recipes somewhere online. But I didn‘t get around to it. 😅 Thanks for sharing! 🍌🍍🍒😂 2mo

tpixie @PurpleyPumpkin yes! 👏🏻 I‘ve received an email about it today so I had to share!! 📘 2mo

We do not care if husband steps right over folded sheets and towels sitting right there on the stairs to be brought up. We will call him out on it anyway to which he will reply that HE DIDN‘T SEE THEM!

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 @AmyG @CBee @Deblovestoread @lil1inblue @Lesliereadsalot As a teenager, my nephew, after being told 100 times to take the trash out, took it out in a harumph. The bag broke as he was walking. He stepped over the mess and placed what was still there in the trash, walked back, stepped over the mess, and went into the house. My sister went apoplectic. His reply? “You only told me to take the trash out, and that's what I did.“ #teenagers 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I swear, it‘s a very contagious disease!! 😅 Several men in my immediate family have it and they are not expected to make a full recovery! 😕😂 2mo

Lesliereadsalot Don‘t get me started on the trash!! @dabbe 2mo

KadaGul I think this kind of blindness and annoying behavior is a common occurrence in the Male Gender. I'm surprised it's not biological 🤣🤣 2mo

Lesliereadsalot @KadaGul I thought his cataract surgery would help but apparently not. 🤣 2mo

Bookwomble I nervously add a (neurodivergent) man's view, which is that objects may appear in my perceptual field as general obstacles to be navigated as I move towards my target area and so can be avoided, but they won't necessarily impinge on my awareness as specific objects of interest to be interacted with. (And, no, my wife doesn't accept this as reasonable either! 😄) 2mo

Lesliereadsalot @Bookwomble Thanks for that information, it‘s good to know. I like knowing there might be a reason for this behavior! 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Thank you!! I am going to send you a test email so that it's saved in my address book 😁 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon - The books arrived safely today!! So glad you both enjoyed First Lie Wins; that book really kept me hooked!! 3mo

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I REALLY enjoyed First Lie Wins... great pick! 3mo

TheAromaofBooks It's so funny because the first book I read by that author was 10 Blind Dates with is an adorable little YA romcom, so kind of literally the opposite of First Lie Wins 😂 3mo

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks 10 Blind Dates sounds cute, but yes, soooo different from First Lie Wins! 3mo

Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks glad they made it there! @bookandbedandtea you‘re books arrived yesterday safe and sound! 3mo
