Friends in Napa: A Novel | Sheila Yasmin Marikar

pick

This was an entertaining read. College friends reunite, but they all have their issues & troubles and all is not as perfect as it seems. Then one of them ends up dead.

I have to say that I am glad I am done with this book! It was ssoo slooow. The chapters are extremely long. Characters come and go for no reason, I could understand. I kept losing interest and fell asleep reading it a couple of times. I got to 70% in the before it finally dawned on me what it was all about. Then it just abruptly ended. Of course, this is just my opinion and some others liked it and even loved it. Read it and find out ⬇️

Monica5 what you think about it.

Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin's Press and Ludington for the E-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Land of Little Rain | Mary Austin

pick

Mary Austin was an American writer and one of the early nature writers of the American Southwest. Her book, The Land of Little Rain, written in 1903, describes the fauna, flora, and people of the region between the High Sierra and the Mojave Desert of southern California. As this area of the country is not far from where we live in Vegas, I decided I would like to go and see these areas and visit her home in Independence, CA.

LeahBergen It‘s so pretty! I love visiting the homes of authors. 6d

Cupcake12 How was the eclipse? Too cloudy in the UK to be seen! Thanks for joining in x 1w

SilversReviews Plans - mostly doctor appointments, but classes at the gym.

Iced tea is my favorite drink while reading.

I use a bookmark for print copies.

Fire in Paradise: An American Tragedy | Alastair Gee, Dani Anguiano

so-so

I had to bail about 35% in. It was just too stressful it‘s like reading a documentary about a recent catastrophic fire in an area not too far from my home. It‘s well-written and interesting, just too overwhelming for me to keep going.

Friends in Napa: A Novel | Sheila Yasmin Marikar

so-so

A group of friends from college reunite for a luxurious weekend in Napa. As the wine flows so do the old rivalries and resentments. I always love a good college reunion story and was fairly engaged on this one until the ending. It felt rushed and somewhat ridiculous.
