Hotel Du Lac | Anita Brookner
post image
Pickpick

Having finished a project after 2+ years with my literary soul mate, Leo of LeosLittleBookLife on Instagram, it was time to sit down and talk about Anita Brookner‘s collection of fiction work. https://youtu.be/Bssi8RbbZxI

jlhammar Wow, that is quite the accomplishment! I'm hoping to read my first Brookner this year. I've got Look at Me, Hotel du Lac and Rules of Engagement on my shelves. Which of those do you think would be best to start with? 1y
HardcoverHearts Of those, I‘d read them in the order you listed- start with Look At Me. It‘s earlier than Hotel du Lac and from there I would read Hotel du Lac and if her style still appeals, Rules of Engagement. I hope you enjoy. 1y

Well, it‘s back to work day. This books aren‘t going to buy themselves, apparently! My pace will obviously slow down this month, but this is what my reading flow for the week looks like-
Finished 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff en français for my annual New Year‘s Day reread with lovely people all over the globe. It‘s always a highlight of my year.
I hope your reading is going well to kick off the new year!

Bklover I love that book! 1y

Independence | Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
post image

Here‘s my BOMC choices. This year has felt very lackluster in terms of options, but I think so much of that has to do with the cover art that had made everything seem so flat and similar. After reading Tomb of Sand this year I am more drawn to Partition stories. And Age of Vice has gotten some good buzz. I know people adore Lessons in Chemistry, my other option, but that cover makes we want to check it out from the library instead. Is it just me?

LeahBergen I was just saying this in a comment on here a few days ago … I hate the North American cover of Lessons in Chemistry SO MUCH that I‘m going to have to order the UK one if I want to read it. 😆 1y
HardcoverHearts @LeahBergen 👯‍♀️ It‘s so bad! 1y
jlhammar I also went with these two! I loved Before We Visit the Goddess so have high hopes for Independence. 1y

I‘ve been horrible with NetGalley, so this month was about trying to knock some out. I think I‘ve done a good job, given that I have also read quite a few others along the way. I want to get my rate up to 70%. It‘s at 49% right now, with the two at the bottom in my rotation now. The Borrowed was fantastic! Police procedural with such a brilliant structure- moving backwards in time, from the last case of an officer to his first in Hong Kong.

Waking up and starting my day with a tour of the Women of Bloomsbury, while enjoying a big cup of tea and wrapped in my wool London map blanket is how I think every Saturday should start. It was enlightening and I enjoyed it so much! The group that led it can be found on Eventbrite and they are called Women of London. I highly recommend it. They are doing a tour of Sufferagette London on Monday, International Women‘s Day.

I‘m breaking my own rule and starting a series on book 9! I think I can get away with it because I‘m familiar with the series via that TV show that I just love- Ms Fisher‘s Murder Mysteries. This is an ARC I‘m woefully behind on. I‘m hoping to clear my mystery ARCs on NetGalley this month. Only a few pages in and I recognize the familiar jaunty tone, lush visual descriptions of costumes and clothes and many men to keep Ms Fisher entertained.

Lizpixie Oh no! You really need to start from the beginning, book Phryne is a different creature to TV Phryne in many ways, as well as her inner circle. #PhryneAppreciationClub (edited) 3y
HardcoverHearts @Lizpixie I will go back and start. This is SO NOT ME, but I have to bust through this pile of ARCs I have collected! I can already tell, with just a few pages in, that I will be going to the start once this is done- don‘t worry! This is a case of one anxiety being more pressing than another anxiety. 😅 3y

What an absolute stunner of a book! I‘m overcome with emotions after closing the last page. We meet David as an old man, former painter whose sight is failing him, reflecting back in his life & dealing with the life he lives now side by side with deep grief. Grief for his beloved wife, Sara & specifically an incident with his paralyzed 28 year old son that is told with masterly precision in terms of pacing & feeling. Exquisitely heart wrenching.

I‘m diving into this chunky tome (977 pages). Just started the preface and it seems like it‘s going to be a delightful book. I love a good, long generational story. And while I was reading Patsy in written format, it dawned on me that the audio may be exceptional, given the main character is Jamaican & some dialogue is written in patois. Sure enough -that was a good decision. Both are chunky books so I‘m hoping to get through them faster this way.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold | Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Mehso-so

Charming book about the people who come to & work in a cafe where one specific seat allows you to travel in time. There are sweet & poignant stories of people wanting to give messages they couldn‘t before, to see people they miss, & get answers to questions. While I enjoyed it, I never understood the rules of the magic, why or how it exists. In the end, that feels like a miss & served to remind me how crucial world building is to fantasy stories.

I have heard raves about this book from my friend and didn‘t realize there was an audio book of it. I find the subject matter so fascinating, especially after a trip to the San Sebastián area in 2000 and seeing an ETA rally. So my husband and I are listening to it together (a benefit of sheltering in place)! I love it starting with mothers on the sides of the conflict between the Spanish and Basque separatists.

Such a Fun Age | Kiley Reid

Just finished this audiobook that everyone is raving about. It‘s a contemporary novel about an African American babysitter who almost gets arrested for “kidnapping” the child under her care and the ramifications on all the players. At times I found it a little soap opera-ish with too convenient plot “twists” which was a bit disappointing. I can see this book being a good one for book clubs and continuing to generate buzz.

I started this as a buddy read over the holidays but my buddy got a bit overwhelmed by all the festivities and we ended up agreeing to read something else down the road. I decided to continue it because I‘m really enjoying the bird‘s eye view of the planning of an intricate spy trap, centering on the grooming and training of a young, wild, intelligent but self destructive woman. Interested to see where it will take me.

Just finished my 1st book for WIT month. This was a remarkable story & the audio was sublime. I don‘t often get on with child voice actors, as the precociousness can be a bit much. But this was just the right level of haughtiness in both character‘s voices. If you like really brilliant, difficult women who go deep into observations of the world/ their lives- this may be a book for you. I love the mix of intellectual discourse & heart!

I wish I could say that all these markers are for brilliant, insightful or lovely passages. For me, the hype on this one is overblown. I‘m finding the writing clunky, the context lacking and the underlying assumptions suspect. I‘m disappointed. I‘ll finish it, but have low hopes for it turning around. 😢

Megabooks I couldn‘t agree with you more. You wrote my feelings better than I did. 5y
HardcoverHearts @Megabooks It‘s such a bummer because I really wanted a great book on female desire but this isn‘t it. I think Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski or Mating In Captivity by Esther Perel are much better nonfiction reads on this subject. 5y
Megabooks Plus, I found very little positive in it. The small amount joy these women seem to eek out from sex and intimacy was just sad. I mean one woman fakes her whole life, another was raped and abandoned, a third thinks it‘s good when her lover spends a half hour with her and will do virtually anything to have that half hour. Is real depressing sometimes? Yes. Are there healthier relationships she could‘ve picked? Yes. 5y
HardcoverHearts @Megabooks I resent her assertions that desire is an overwhelming force that one is powerless to control. I was expecting a feminist romp through the joys of female desire, not a Tyler Perry movie about the perils that will befall you if you partake! 5y
