I read and enjoyed these books for March and April‘s #aam picks.
The Harper was a solid thriller but I don‘t know that I‘ll seek out more of hers.
I had tried Ozeki before and been lukewarm, but was happy I tried again with her Booker-winner. The parts I was most engaged with were the ones set in the monastery.
Yay for a challenge I‘m doing well at! (not that finding new authors is a hardship 😜)

Oh man, I feel like I need more days to digest this book. This is my first Ruth Ozeki book and it won't be the last. Usually, I am not a big fan of authors doing their own book narrations, but Ruth did a fantastic job. She sure is a wonderful storyteller!

The themes of bullying and suicide were very prominent, so there are definitely trigger warnings. However, I felt I learned so much about Japanese culture and I found it fascinating how ⬇️

vonnie862 Ruth writes herself and her husband as characters. It makes me wonder if this was a true story. Ruth mentioned that listening to the audio is one experience and that reading the print is another. Looks like I need to buy the physical copy! 1w
Graywacke Glad you enjoyed. Your comments are interesting to me because I struggled with her reading it herself. 🙂 1w
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 1w

This book is due back in two days, and I don‘t want to renew it. I‘m not hating it, but I don‘t feel like spending seven more hours with it. Even though it‘s an #awardwinner and an #authoramonth selection, I‘m bailing. #springskies

Bookwormjillk I bailed too. Just not for me. 1w
Eggs Life is too short 🏆👍🏼🥇 1w
Graywacke I wasn‘t a fan. (Although it didn‘t help that i didn‘t like the way the author reads the audiobook.) 1w

Listened to this on audio, narrated by the author, and I just didn‘t love it. I feel like this is a book that I might like the movie version better of.
