Life of Pi | Yann Martel

repost for @TheAromaofBooks:

My #RandomClassic for April is Life of Pi. Usually, for my classics, I just read one chapter a day until I'm finished, but I did NOT want to spend over 3 months reading this one 😂 Some of the chapters are only a paragraph or two long, so I divided it up to about 10pgs/day. I'm hoping to post a discussion post (along the lines of “what did you think about this week's chapters?“ every Monday.

Set on an unnamed Caribbean island, this story came alive to me as I read it while in St. Lucia and could imagine it here. The short chapters and constantly changing story worked for me. I almost couldn‘t put it down. This story is about so many things, and a lot was packed in to the last 50+ pages. Some editing could have been done. Overall, I really enjoyed being with each of the characters and learning how the story unfolded. #LiteraryCrew

Mini trip to Toronto to see 2 plays and our youngest who‘s here going to uni. I loved this book, all the twists as we uncover Covey‘s story, the swimming and surfing, the black cake ( an unexpected example of colonialism), family. it‘s set in 2 time lines, present day and the 50‘s #literarycrew #buddyread

LeahBergen Fun! Enjoy your holiday. 1w

Sargar114 Just started and already liking it! 6d

mcctrish Thx @LeahBergen it was a perfect little getaway and we had blue skies the whole time, perfect for walking 6d

The Women Could Fly: A Novel | Megan Giddings

so-so

Finished last Sunday & didn‘t take part in the #independentwomen #buddyread festivities. I may go back & look at the discussion questions but maybe not.🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted to love this book but found myself slogging through it-the idea was there, but it didn‘t quite hook me & I spent much of it a bit confused. Given recent life events, I was also not in the mood for a too-close-to-today‘s-world & ultimately depressing book, so just a so-so from me.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I understand! The discussion was a good one but I didn‘t like the book much either. 2w

Cinfhen This book was definitely a disappointment for many of us. I‘m sure life has been difficult without your loving Max - im so sorry, Deb xx 2w
