[It's] Les Misérables, it was taken off the market, I managed to get a few copies before they shredded them...
What's it about?"
"A man who, out of starvation, steals a loaf of bread and is hounded by the police for the rest of his life. SAVAK thinks the book might miror some things in our society."
I put it in my scholbag and headed home....
How strange that in our culture books were considered dangerous...
pickFinished this early in the morning right before it was set to expire!
This was such a journey. I went into this fairly blind and I think that was a good thing. It was real and raw and doesn‘t hide the ups and downs of a seventy-year marriage.
so-soThree cousins are invited to spend the summer at the island resort owned by their grandmother, who they've never met because their parents have been estranged from her for decades. The cousins agree to spend the summer working at the resort, hoping that while they're there they can solve the mystery of what happened between their grandmother and their parents.

pickThis was a good book but I feel like it was too long. I liked the dialogue about life with wolves and what the author was trying to achieve there. I think this would be a good book for a Death Cafe because it forces you to think about hard decisions.
pickI really enjoy Wilson‘s writing & was excited this was one of the options for the #BiteSizedBooks portion of the #GoodreadsChallenge! This quick family drama starts with Mad in TN, who is shocked to have a half-brother show up in a PT Cruiser—& news that their dad has more children & is in CA. A sibling road trip ensues with the climax proving that it‘s not so much the destination as the journey. Funny moments, big secrets & room to define family!
panRead this for December book club.
I did not like this at all.
I know Blair was trying to surprise them, but like... be honest with her? She's a grown woman. I already hate the miscommunication trope, but this really doubled down in those last 30 pages.
These 2 GROWN adults... well, mainly just Nora cared soooo much about how her neighbors perceived her.
And why are the neighbors protesting on their front lawn?
