Honestly, this one is tough. I don‘t think I want to be as smart/clever as this one might require. Did I read every word on every page? No, I did not. Am I glad I attempted? Sure. 😐 If you want to be a Percival Everett completist, I recommend a good trial looksee at the format or trap yourself on a beach with no other books, maybe. 😂 It is absurdist philosophy or true brilliance, if you dare trust this poor simpleton‘s opinion. It is amusing…

BkClubCare And the Iris are part of the story!! #Apr2025 Book40 (edited) 12h
Ruthiella I hear ya! I think sometimes he‘s too smart for me too. 10h

Look at this amazing tree! It is a Bristly Locust

And, I very much enjoyed this book. 🐦‍⬛ I think Maggie Stiefvater is pretty good at what she does.

Our city‘s Big Read book for this year; I am glad that our book club selected and decided to participate. The person who suggested it told us she is looking forward to our thoughts and this has me intrigued that she has THOUGHTS — I am eager to discuss. I regretfully turned it back to the library so I won‘t have a copy and I failed to record if it had pie, I did not note the quotes I liked. 😢 more…⬇️

I liked this; giving it a pick. Heard say that this might not be the author‘s best work so I guess I am impressed enough to try more of her stories.

I laughed at times, and I cried at the end. I appreciated that explanations were deftly unrolled as the tangled histories were discovered. This book was what I needed right now. #Apr2025 Book37

Pic of Wisteria, I adore Wisteria and would LOVE to have some in my yard. 🌺❤️

Wow. WHAT is this?! Somebody here needs to read this and come sit next to me and let‘s talk. I have to think some more. Easy read, extremely-well written, fast-moving, full of heart, good vs evil or balancing act? 😈 🤠 💗 🖼️ 🍅 ⛰️

Erasure: A Novel | Percival Everett

Percival Everett. F-word! (IYKYK) What a talent. If you‘ve seen the movie, this is just a sweet ride to the transfer of written word to film. If you prefer to read-the-book-before-the-movie 🎥 ALL GOOD. #Apr2025 Book34

Tamra So good!! 2w
AmyG I am reading this next month…so excited. 2w

What a short lil wonderful hug of a story. Just nice, nothing too shocking, the ebbs and flows of a human life, messy lived and messy reflected upon, and uncertain going forward. Take a chance on love 💕 (admit and forgive mistakes)

I loved the show! Casting and acting is terrific. Thought the book might be fun, too 🤩

However, it is SO much like the show, that… I prefer watching.

Family + odd connections; reality versus alternative “what-if” timelines. This is a wild ride of a ghost story! Someday, I want to sit on a beach 🏖️ or on a boat 🛥️ and have Station 11 + this + Sea of Tranquility & FIGURE OUT HOW THESE CONNECT 😂 I really enjoyed following Vincent and her peripheral orbits. #Apr2025 Book31

Bookwormjillk I did that last May (except it was my front porch.) It was fun to connect all 3 except I wish I had taken notes because now I forget again. 3w
BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk - ha! Too funny. I can never remember plot, nor endings, etc - usually only if I liked it or not 😂 3w
AvidReader25 There‘s a graph someone created connecting all of them! This is my least favorite of the three, but I love her work so very much. 3w
BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - interesting… 🧐 a graph 📈 you say 🤨 I will see if I can find it. 3w
AvidReader25 @BkClubCare I‘ll see if I can find it for you. It‘s in the new gorgeous edition of Station Eleven! 3w
