Going on a road trip and need an audio! Since I have a “celebrity memoir” category to fill for #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge, will listen to this one. #LibbyAudio oh! It also fits the Alliteration category for #WiaN2025! And 8% in, she mentions apple pie. #PieinLiterature #iLovePie

BkClubCare Also, quite sad that _ALL_ the LGTBQA+ audiobook titles I searched for in my library‘s catalog were NOT FOUND. A LOT. (Or required being put on hold, but still not many, like ONE (Elton John.) (edited) 7d

Apparently I forgot to blurb that I am now reading this. I happened to start it the same day that I had a lovely chat with an old friend who told me she just finished. It‘s fun to find these overlaps; however, we rarely like the same books 😂 #eBook #PieinLiterature

BarbaraBB I guess she liked it 😇 1w

This narration is well done, I was on the edge of my seat often following along this tense adventure of mofos (humans) catching the end-of-times virus and morphing into zombies 🧟‍♀️ and worse! ALL TOLD by a crow 🐦‍⬛ who goes on a mission with his bloodhound sidekick. I may have shed a tear 😢 or two. #LitPie #PieinLiterature #iLovePie 🥧 #May2024 Book47

“The flesh of this particular pear 🍐 is soft and sweet and infused with a certain spiciness that lends itself to jams and pies.” #pieinliterature #LitPie #iLovePie #CaresPieShow

I am NOT enjoying the Anna parts - the going-backwards-in-time ain‘t working for me. But I am already heartbroken for the Anastasia storyline. I am about 75% in.

Hoping to finish tonight so I can devour True Biz tomorrow.

BkClubCare Also big SHOUT OUT to my friend @Nutmegnc for all the tips & tricks on image-creation. 😍 3y
AvidReader25 I tend to struggle with books that switch back and forth in time because one plot line is usually better than the other! I just started it. 😊 3y
BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - I saw you read and didn‘t like The Kitchen Boy. You probably know more than I do abt the Romanovs? 3y

Hooked_on_books I didn‘t love the backward telling of this, either, but at the end it made sense. For me, this is her weakest book. Her best, by far, is one I strongly recommend if you haven‘t read it: 3y
BkClubCare @Hooked_on_books - thanks! The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress looks good, too - especially because I know absolutely nothing abt it. (edited) 3y
Nutmegnc 😍🥰 3y
AvidReader25 @BkClubCare That one fell short for me, but I‘ve been thinking about it while reading this one. I don‘t love the Anna parts so far. The timeline is hard to follow! 3y
BkClubCare If you can, and don‘t think it will spoil the experience, read the author‘s note 📝 3y

AvidReader25 @BkClubCare I‘ll check out! I wish Anna‘s sections didn‘t bounce around so much. 3y

The word play! I am astounded that this is a translated work (and thrilled that I know the bookstore that is owned by translator Emma Ramadan.) I would love to hear more about the entire project to create this. #tob2022
#PieinLiterature #PieLit “easy as pie”
(I am reading this on western KS getaway trip)

BkClubCare “No grout about it” 🤣 3y
Sophronisba I am really curious about this one. Definitely plan to get to it before #tob2022. 3y
SRWCF That view tho! 3y

Blueberry 🫐 🥧 Pie! Sliced into 3 pieces and piled with ice cream. Oh yea! (Being audio, I don‘t have the *exact* words) #PieinLiterature #LitPie
I think this is an Audible freebie and yes, it didn‘t hurt that Ann Patchett blurbed it… yes, I might have a crush on AP… #WiaN2022 category Seasons
Go Chiefs! 🏈 #DogsofLitsy #EsthertheGriff

Again, I look to my goodreads booklists for inspiration. #Haunted #Scarathlon #PhotoChallenge
Another favorite author 🏚👻 I read Hill House last year; saw the movie forever ago. There is a pie quote in the book: Eleanor says, “I like apple pie with sour cream.” #PieinLiterature #LitPie #iLovePie 🥧

Linsy I didn't know there were stories from The Haunted Mansion! I might need to try. 4y
BkClubCare @Linsy - This is why we “Litsy” — to find books we need to read 🤣 4y

Pastelitos are Cuban meat pies! So this counts for my #PieinLiterature tag. #iLovePie

#bookclub Enjoyed this one to my great relief. I haven‘t been having the best of times with my club's choices so far. A couple of maybe minor quibbles: I didn‘t understand the use of “Ya” in the dialogue, and was not impressed with the flippant mention of a child murder case that, to me, is very sad and shouldn‘t be a joke. Also, I hate wearing yoga pants! 1/2 ⬇️

BkClubCare OTOH, I am impressed and inspired with a lady in her mid-fifties achieving the goal of being a spin trainer. And it had pie! #LitPie #PieinLiterature #CaresBooksandPie #iLovePie 2/2 4y
Ruthiella What did “Ya” mean? Yes or Yeah? 4y
BkClubCare I read it as YEAH or YEA ; “ya” doesn‘t really work for me in that pronunciation. And since this book is set in Kansas, it really didn‘t work. 🤣 4y
BkClubCare My 95th book of the year. 4y
