Was slumping a bit so shopped my own shelves. This was great! My second Dermansky and I liked it at least as much as the first. I‘m still unsettled by the almost total lack of contractions (and Litsy confirms that I was whining about this with The Red Car, too! 😆). But I did just google it this time and learned a bit about why she doesn‘t use them, which soothed me. I did a hybrid read of this + the (excellent, full cast)
audio.

Ruthiella This has been on my list for forever! 2w
BarbaraBB This one made me laugh so hard! And I think it is better than Red car too. 2w
Christine @Ruthiella I felt the same! Well worth making time for. 2w
Christine @BarbaraBB Yes, so funny (and the audio narrators heightened that for me, too)! 2w

#ItTakesAllKinds #LoveTriangle

TBH, I missed the 🔻on the prompt when I looked this morning (in my defense it was the butt crack before dawn & I was at the airport) & I started pulling Love-titled cookbooks so I just went with it! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here‘s a 🔻of 3 cookbooks I own & love. ❤️🔻❤️ About to take off back to Oahu after a looong day in Kona.

TheBookgeekFrau Don't feel bad, I also missed the triangle part too and I'd already had my coffee and been functioning for an hour and a half 🙇🏻‍♀️🤣 (edited) 2w
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I missed it too and I‘m a cohost 😂😂😂 2w

It's a love triangle of sorts. #ittakesallkinds #lovetriangle

#BookReport 09/24

I read a lot again this week. I had high expectations of all three of them, too high I think in hindsight. Hard Girls is really good, just not what I expected. Both others, hmmm 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mehso-so

This book felt like a De Beauvoir-about-Sartre novel of the 21st century. Set in Stockholm instead of Paris, still very European. Intellectual talks, misunderstandings, casual sex. It didn‘t really work for me, I didn‘t like the three main characters and their conversations. Other than that, nothing much happens unfortunately.

#ATY24 - Two word title starting with The #52BookClub24 - Abrupt ending

Librarybelle Great to cover a couple of prompts with it! 1mo
Hooked_on_books Another excellent picture from you! (I‘m not surprised.) Even though this one didn‘t work for you, the premise has me intrigued. But then others have compared it to Sally Rooney so, no thanks! 1mo

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I shouldn‘t compare it to Sally Rooney. This one feels a bit pretentious to me, but maybe you like it because it‘s more intellectual than the usual novel about twenty somethings. I prefer Rooney though 😉 1mo
sarahbarnes I‘m sorry it didn‘t work for you! I agree no one does this like Rooney. I liked this when I read it, but with more distance I‘m less a fan. 1mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I expected to like it just like you! 1mo
batsy It sounds like just the kind of pretentious book I enjoy 😁 but that's too bad about the characters. It's the characterisation that makes a book like this good, imo! 1mo
BarbaraBB @batsy I know what you mean and I usually do too but this one, hmm, no 😊 1mo
Bluebird At least it fulfilled 2 prompts 😀 1mo

We follow Hugo, August and Thora during their studies in Stockholm. It‘s a love story, a friendship story, yet there‘s a distance throughout, which could be because this is translated from Swedish. An intense story with no real plot, slow and at times frustrating, but I also liked it. Imagine the relationships in Conversations with Friends crossed with Elena Ferrante‘s writing maybe? It also left me hanging, and I kind of liked that too.

sarahbarnes I‘d agree with that mashup! I liked this one, too. 2mo
BarbaraBB Having this one my shelves as well! 2mo
