Alias Grace: A Novel | Margaret Atwood

Pickpick

I loved this book! The story and characters felt so real and somehow the focus of the book was more in the dynamic between characters than the plotline. I also realised reading this that I haven't read many books set in Kanada and I totally want to read more Atwood books as well! 😍

TheKidUpstairs This is my absolute favourite Atwood. Glad you enjoyed. Not sure if it's available where you are, but there was a fabulous miniseries adaptation a few years ago! 1h

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo | Taylor Jenkins Reid

This was an easy read even though it took me forever to read it. I had heard a lot of good about this book and it was really unique story but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I especially loved the main characters and how the story was constructed.

@Deblovestoread thanks for picking this book. I loved this book a lot. On my own, I would never, NEVER have picked this up. I cried reading the last 75 pages. @Jerdencon sorry this is a little late. I sent it off today and they said Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

Deblovestoread I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! 3h
Centique That is so off brand for you! 😂😂 But sometimes it is a lovely thing to try something completely different 😍 now

The White Lady: A Novel | Jacqueline Winspear

Given the times we are in White is the last name of the main character. The book bounces from WWII to after the war. Good story to remind us of the consequences of relying on assumptions.

Reclusive Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth.
This is a spellbinding novel about love, glamour, and the price of fame.
I loved this book 😍 and can't recommend it enough.

Little Town on the Prairie | Laura Ingalls Wilder
post image

And just like that Laura‘s job has ended. The rush for shirts is over after 6 weeks and Laura has only made $9. About $267 today. Laura feels she hasn‘t contributed enough for Mary to go to college but Ma reassures her. Sounds like Mary could be going any day.

sblbooks Sure sounds like it won't be long. I'd forgotten it was a full 7 years that she went to school. Will Mary and Laura ever see each other again, once she leaves? 7h
mrp27 Laura‘s selflessness is admirable. Not a penny to herself! 4h
julieclair $267 in today‘s dollars does not sound like much money for six weeks of full time work. What a different world. 3h
Bookwormjillk It was so bittersweet when Laura realized Mary would be going away. 3h
