Early morning read & coffee.
It‘s a cold 45 degrees, pouring rain. Reading about a garden & love in midst of war makes me feel hope for sunshine.

I didn‘t know much about the Vietnam war and this was very educational. Plus, the character development was exceptional. I was very invested in Frankie and her friendships. The reality that women veterans had to face after the war is infuriating and heartbreaking. It also had a very satisfying ending, but I felt the beginning was too long and the ending too rushed. The main character finally finds her place and it was completely rushed through.

According to Ye Olde Goode Reads, I have read 4 of Clowes' books since 2016, but Monica is the first 5 star. This one truly had the capaciousness, & complexity, of a fleshed out novel. , This has much in common with other Clowes works I have read but it was def. a step beyond. One of the first books that I read after my move back in Feb. & I specifically recall it breaking through my mental fatigue at the time as a special work.

This Canadian doctor is funny and thorough and not patronizing. I was a bit overwhelmed, but the information was useful. I now know what questions to ask my doctor. I would recommend it to anyone currently going through the menopause transition who feels like there's a lot of junk information to sort through.

For anyone else confused or mortified by this whole process, I feel your pain.

My intro to Helen Humphrey. She was recommended by my cousin (more specifically Followed by the Lark, but this was the first book of hers I could get my hands on). I loved this so much! surprisingly so! It gave me an entirely new (more intriguing) direction for my own gardens 🌷🪻 and for such a short book I cried several times 😢
I‘ve since picked up more of her work. And bonus that she‘s a 🇨🇦 author from a town near by.

TS being the mastermind that she is released her version of “Look What You Made Me Do” for The Handmaiden‘s Tale. Now she just needs to finally release Taylor‘s version of Reputation.

Ha! Interesting title for this post. My friend Buddy Reading these books with me and I think she is the character “Elena” in these novels. I cannot conceive that this can be a fictionalized relationship. #Bibliophile #AuthorWPseudonym
