Eggs
The Alchemist | Paulo Coelho

These two novels - seem to either be loved or hated. Tried Alchemist x2 book, bailed. Listened to audio all of it - still don‘t like it. Read Catcher when I was young, did nothing for me. Read it a few years ago, do not LOVE, but understand it better with its unique format and premise.

Thoughts?

ChaoticMissAdventures I didn't read the Alchemist until my 20s, and by then I had spent my late teens traveling, had gotten married and lived in 2 states with my husband. I have always thought that I had more world experience than the MC and so the book felt trite. I have always believed that some books need to be read super early before I become jaded. 😂 4d
mrp27 I‘ve read Alchemist once, didn‘t like it and couldn‘t get into it. Read Catcher once as a teen and absolutely loved it. I want to reread but I‘m afraid an adult reread will spoil my love for it. 4d
BooksandCoffee4Me Reading is a personal experience like eating — we can share the experiences in community, sampling each other‘s choices, but we don‘t have to order the same things in order to enjoy the shared experiences. It‘s actually encouraging when I find someone else who didn‘t care for books that are very popular and on some “should read” list. @Eggs, I‘m with you on both of these. 3d
Kitta I read the alchemist as a teenager and found it okay, I didn‘t really see what the hype was about. The catcher in the rye I read for school (early teens) which always has a tendency to suck the life out of books for me, except for this one and 1984. Loved both of those. 3d

What a nice story! Post apocalypse but make it hopeful. It had me crying on a plane.

My mom bought this for my daughter when she was visiting. The 9 year old at the end said, “is that all?” Although she is a child that likes to ignore me & her responsibilities like making her bed (similar to the book). I love Trevor Noah & the drawings were beautiful.

3.5/5
Quick tale for adults with interestingly weird illustrations.
Tale of the past, tale also about the future. Well-constructed, and interesting. I enjoyed the short ride.

TBH the FMC for the tagged book has made me set it aside for almost a week now. I should really pick it back up since it's BOTM for a #Fable group. Problem is I have minimal desire even with all the hype around it. On the other end, I am only 20 pages into Red Rabbit & I want more 😍

5feet.of.fury I feel like I am missing something with all the hype for this book. I didn‘t think the FMC and MMC had any chemistry, I was baffled 😅 (edited) 2mo
Aconight @5feet.of.fury 100% i‘m only at chapter 12. Hoping the plot and action will make up for it….whenever that wants to start happening 2mo

The OG book that illustrates the #spiritualjourney and creates space for #personaltransformation / self-reflection all while it takes you through the main characters‘ #adventure 🙂‍↕️ Amazing read!
A book I will come back to again and again as it will forever live in my personal collection!! What is #alchemy if not a way of life? 👁️🧠🧿

A very interesting and informative true crime read about stalkers. A chilling look into their mindsets and just how dangerous it can be to have one and just how easy it is to be unknowningly stalked. A thought provoking read for everyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐#victoriaheywood #everymoveyoumake #tea_sipping_bookworm #truecrime #goodreads #getlitsy #thestorygraph #fable

Trevor Noah‘s latest book is a picture book for all ages. It‘s cataloged in the adult section but would be a terrific read for elementary aged kids and up. It‘s an ode to his childhood and mother about growing up with chores and responsibilities but staying a child with adventures and imagination. ❤️
