Mom and I went to a makers market today. Found some cute things (candle, cat things). There was also a cute little shop in a trailer that sold used books 📚 and a free paint chip bookmark with purchase.
panBook review catch-up post 2 of 5:
This wasn't for me. As I said in one of our #kindredspiritsbuddyread discussions, it's a lot of wandering around in the woods occasionally interrupted by horrible violence. The "bad Indians" were bad because they were of a savage tribe, while the "good Indians" were held to a higher standard than the whites in both ethics and competency. The ending was a shocking disappointment.
so-soI expected to enjoy this book, but I actually found myself having to force myself to pick it up and continue. It all felt a bit too preachy. Shriver is, as far as I‘m aware, a hugely respected writer, so I‘m not sure if she‘s just not my thing or if this is not her usual standard. I think I need to read We Need to Talk About Kevin.

Beautiful debut Canadian novel. Nominated for many awards.
Translated from French and set mainly in Cairo and Montreal, this is an LGBTQ and family saga, told from the point of view of a narrator who‘s relationship to the main character is unknown (you find out about half through but I‘m not spoiling it!).
I loved the translation and had to look up a few English words I didn‘t know and this is my first language! 🙈 😂
