#bookreport @Cinfhen

The first half of the week was all about a bunch of excellent books. All 5 of the finished ones were terrific.

Then I bailed on two in a row - yikes!

The Chosen and the Beautiful is a retelling of Gatsby from Jordan Baker‘s point of view. She seems bored with her life of riches and extravagant parties, and about halfway through I grew bored of watching her be bored.

Fox & I seemed strangely detached- I may come back.

Cinfhen Too bad about the Gatsby retelling… I‘ve seen good reviews but I totally get why you #hibernated for now!!! 3y
Hooked_on_books I bailed on TCATB too. It felt so constrained by the source material that I found it really stiff. I wish she‘d used Gatsby as inspiration rather than literally trying to rewrite it. 3y

November TBR

Hope to get more non-fiction read for #nfnov, but it's a start! @rsteve388 @Clwojick

rsteve388 I want to read Hamilton as well! Happy Reading 4y
jenniferw88 @rsteve388 I started reading it a couple of months ago, but #hibernated it as it's a #chunkster. However I have just added the audio for it so that should speed me up! 4y
