Mehso-so

Probably the last book I read of 2020 for a book club. I actually already owned it cause it was one of my dollar tree finds. Wasn‘t as good as I‘d hoped. Most of the people didn‘t enjoy it that much. The ending was just so abrupt - we knew the ending from the start but I wanted more details about why things happened.

Enjoying this #buddyread so far @squirrelbrain @caroline2 @julesg @scripturient - somewhat aided by a cinnamon roll.

julesG I still have to start. Wanted to join in yesterday afternoon, but baking biscuits turned into a deep clean of the kitchen because a certain nosy cat had to knock over the icing sugar. 3y
Liz_M Cinnamon rolls make everything better. 3y
squirrelbrain Yum! LOL at the cat @julesG ! 😻 No rush anyway - we have 2 weeks before our #virtualbookclub meet-up! 3y

Finished this beautiful collection and am now catching up on the YouTube discussion for “Read a Book with Kara”

This collection gets 5 ⭐️ because it is full of lines like this. #shortstories #africandiaspora #diversespines #virtualbookclub

Starting this book late at night and last minute for “Read a Book with Kara” over on Instagram. Was only going to read one story tonight because 😴😴😴 but the first one was so good, I might have to go for two.

Everyone should go follow Kara Brown on Twitter and Instagram because she is 💯

This was a book club pick. And it was good. Had some note worthy lines which I‘ll try to remember to share shortly. I wasn‘t blown away by it like some of them were but I also think I‘m in a terrible head space and life space to pay a lot of attention in my reading which is awful.

Didn‘t care for this one. It was a book club pick. The best thing about this book was the cover.

lynneamch Yup. Just finished and have to pan it too. Some social commentary about gender roles and societal expectations but others do it better. At least it was a quick read. May have been better as a short story 4y
allureofbeauty @lynneamch yea I‘m also glad it was at least quick. I admittedly didn‘t read the last like 20%. I just didn‘t care and it was the middle of my moms death and the pandemic and I didn‘t think we would have the meeting. A short story probably would have been a lot better for it. 4y
lynneamch Oh I'm so sorry about your mom. I hope you are doing ok and finding some comfort in spite of these already difficult times. 4y

Library mystery book club. I didn‘t think I‘d like this one but I actually really did and I love the character Melquarth. He‘s great. I‘d like more of him. We are doing a virtual meeting and I hope it goes okay.
