I always enjoy EH's books, especially her earlier ones. The characters feel more authentic and the stories less formula. This one drew me in so completely I felt like I was in the bistro watching the story unfold.

TheBookgeekFrau @janeycanuck It has a little bit of a slow start, but before you know it you're deeply invested in this restaurant life. So good! 2d

The Lords of Discipline | Pat Conroy

pick

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

Sandwich: A Novel | Catherine Newman

I really enjoyed this slice of life family story. Being close to the MC's age, there was quite a bit I could identify with.

Island of the Blue Dolphins | Scott O'Dell

so-so

History wise--interesting and enlightening; story wise--kind of boring.

bookandbedandtea I loved this book when I was a kid! I think I was 10 or so when I got it from a book fair and I know I read it multiple times throughout middle school. Child-me was very impressed by Karana. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I was trying to decide if child me would have been impressed. I think yes that she befriended the dog, but that's about it 😂 2mo

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I think I was impressed that she could survive on her own. 10-13 year old me knew nothing about providing for herself. 😉 2mo

I just couldn't with the writing and flow of this book.

Tove_Reads I listened to it on the train and it was okay. Not sure I would have liked to read it 🤷🏼 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Tove_Reads Since he's writing in Chandler Bingese I could see how an audio book would be easier. Like Shakespeare, Chandler wasn't meant to be read 2mo

Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare | Megan Kamalei Kakimoto

The DNFs on Blind Date books is 2 for 2.

DNFing this one because I'm not a fan of short stories, and literary fiction tries my patience; the two together are nothing but a recipe for shit reading for me.
