Apparently my reading and visual life is farming 😂😅

See you Sunday … 🤫🤐🤫

AmyG I didn‘t know this was based on Zorrie. Thanks for the heads up. 23h
TheBookHippie @AmyG it‘s not -but the visuals of farming were helpful to see what she came from . I think it‘s a 1935 setting. (edited) 23h

The prose is beautiful …… sigh

Happy Sunday ! I love the slow pace of this month. I also love the slow read of this to soak it in and contemplate it. I think it‘s the better experience for this book.

I thank you for joining me ♥️

On we read 🙃

Sargar114 I‘m pretty dense when it comes to prose and writing styles, but I am enjoying it a lot more than I would expect so maybe that‘s why. I agree the slow read is beneficial; I think I am catching more than I would if we went straight through. 5d
AmyG Thank you for this one. You have redeemed yourself after The Notebook! 🤣 5d
TheBookHippie @AmyG omg we were bamboozled by that one … now when I see it mentioned in other books I truly believe the author hasn‘t read it. 😵‍💫🤣👀🤭🙄 5d
See All 36 Comments
TheBookHippie @Sargar114 I think we would miss too much of the story. 5d
AmyG @TheBookHippie Ha, I wouldn‘t be surprised….they want to seem like they read it because it‘s a “literary work of art”. 🤣🤢 5d
kspenmoll I just love this read so far! 5d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll Oh me too, it‘s just lovely. Heartbreaking -but I think very necessary. 5d
Librarybelle Great start! It‘s such a quiet novel that packs a punch with its poetic writing style. 5d
Karisa Beautiful book! Definitely one to slow down and savor with. Perfect for SBR. It wasn‘t on my radar—thank you! 5d
TheBookHippie @Karisa ♥️😊♥️ 5d
vonnie862 I am enjoying the short read. I am still in shock that people use to add radium to their food and drink. 5d
Read4life This pace is perfect. My post op meds make me very sleepy so I‘m in and out. Small, beautiful daily reads have been wonderful. 5d
TheBookHippie @vonnie862 it blows my mind…. 5d
TheBookHippie @Read4life Sending love & some good healing vibes! This is a lovely read and pace… 5d
Read4life I couldn‘t find The Golden Notebook to borrow on ebook & the physical book was too bulky for me to navigate one handed. I followed the discussions and I‘m ok with missing that one. This one is so beautiful so I‘m glad I bought the ebook when it was on sale. 💙 5d
Read4life Thank you, Christine 💙💙 I‘m really enjoying it and savoring each page. 5d
vlwelser It's so nice to just read a few pages for the week after that last nightmare. 5d
TheBookHippie @vlwelser 😵‍💫 thankfully I‘m a good planner… whew. I stillll feel betrayed. 😝 ughhh. 5d
TheBookHippie @Read4life I am actually glad I read it but… what an ordeal AND it wasn‘t what people say it is, not even a little bit. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 5d
willaful @TheBookHippie I wish I'd noticed, I would've warned you! 😂 5d
mcctrish This book is an actual gift, thank you Christine for picking it and extra thanks for your impeccable timing ( @AmyG I laughed out loud at your comment ) 5d
mcctrish @Read4life you dodged a bullet with the notebook 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish ♥️📙😊♥️ 5d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish Now when ppl say they‘ve read it I QUIZ THEM. 👀 5d
mcctrish ABSOLUTELY!!!! Anyone who gushes is lying 5d
Sargar114 Y‘all are making me real glad I skipped last month…I mean with everything that happened can‘t imagine I wouldn‘t have bailed but still… 5d
TheBookHippie @Sargar114 only a few of us actually finished the really strong willed stubborn ones apparently gluttons for punishment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🤭🤷🏻‍♀️ it is SO NOT what it is billed as AND the author doesn‘t want it to be so 😵‍💫 it all just astounds me. It‘s been referenced in countless books we‘ve read together. 🤯 such a betrayal 🤭😝 5d
DebinHawaii I gotta say that after have a bit of guilt about abandoning TGN after 130-ish pages, I am happy I escaped it after seeing all the posts & comments each week! Whew! 😅😆 This is a lovely book & as you said, perfect for a slow read & discussion. Looking forward to more.💛 5d
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I want a medal for finishing and I found pictures and questions for all of it 🤣😵‍💫😝🤷🏻‍♀️🤭🤯🙄😳 I still can‘t believe we did it. What a mess. 5d
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii this current read is just zen. 5d
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie You deserve a medal🏅actually you deserve 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅one for each notebook & a trophy 🏆 for the whole darn thing! 😂 5d
julieclair I am in awe of those of you who actually finished TGN. I took one look at the page count and wimped out. But I do wonder… as much as I am enjoying this quiet read, would I be enjoying it even more if I was reading it after having slogged my way through TGN? 🤔 4d
maich Zorrie is outside my comfort zone and I wouldn't have chosen it myself. It is meaningful story and we can learn a lot from it. It is that kind of book that I have google open on my phone and looking for more informations about the stuff I read in book. And I agree with all you that this is a slow read. 4d
mollyrotondo I am loving this book! It‘s beautifully written. So glad this was the pick after The Golden Notebook. I agree @TheBookHippie that I think if anyone is glowingly referencing it in a novel they definitely have not read it 🙄 3d
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo RIGHT?!?! Surely not. 3d

Part two

Harold

Marriage

Farming life

Multiple miscarriages ( This blame the woman then and now makes my blood boil)

War

Kipling https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57409/epitaphs-of-the-war

Harold dies

So visceral it all is…

Sargar114 Amazing how much information we got. I wasn‘t aware there were multiple miscarriages (I didn‘t catch that) but not surprised. So sad about Harold, but again not surprising. Is she gonna have to take care of his parents now? Didn‘t seem like they were doing all that great and can‘t imagine how this will affect them. 5d
IndoorDame Harold blaming her for the miscarriage 😵‍💫. But the doctor and everyone else keeping her inside for so long actually shocked me! She‘s right, she‘s not exactly the first person this happened to… 5d
AmyG Oh, the times she lived in. I am fascinated by Noah. Does he come into the story more? 5d
See All 22 Comments
kspenmoll So much happened to Zorrie in so few pages- so much loss. @Sargar114 I missed the multiple miscarriages too. @AmyG Me too. Keep wondering if something will happen with Noah & Zorrie despite his marriage. Not sure why he cannot visit his wife 5d
AmyG @kspenmoll Right? What would make his wife set their house on fire? I hope we learn more about her. 5d
TheBookHippie @AmyG oh I hope we see Noah and more of the story. 5d
Librarybelle Zorrie‘s life - just wow. It is frustrating to read how miscarriage thoughts always blamed the woman. 5d
Karisa @kspenmoll @AmyG Noah does feel important somehow. It‘s like all the other characters at this point are too perfect, in a dream world. 5d
Karisa All these big events are covered thoughtfully but also quickly, not in small detail. I‘m wondering if the pace will slow down as we get to her main story. Laird Hunt‘s writing is reminding me a bit of Claire Keegan‘s novellas. 5d
vonnie862 My heart broke for her. With just a few words, Zorrie's heartaches were fully demonstrated. Laird Hunt was a talented writer. 5d
vlwelser This is all so very heartbreaking. But she just keeps doing her thing. 5d
vlwelser I want to know more about the neighbor and his wife that's locked away. But I guess we're getting Zorrie's perspective so she probably doesn't know. 5d
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I assume that as well, so I wonder as she or if she gets to know him more will we ? Or will it just remain background? 5d
mcctrish @IndoorDame I was surprised too that they had her take it easy for so long. I wasn‘t surprised she lost the baby taking spoonfuls of radium but I was surprised it meant she lost more ( unless it was understood she kept taking the ‘tonic‘ shudder) @Karisa it‘s a combo of Claire Keegan and Kent Haruf for me; spare, quiet and powerful writing ❤️❤️ 5d
Sargar114 @kspenmoll @TheBookHippie @vlwelser I wonder more about Noah and what will happen with them as well! 5d
DebinHawaii The keeping her inside & resting & the blame seem so Indicative of the times. So many things happening in the first two chapters & not that many pages should be depressing, but the writing style & pace make it hard to dwell on the tragic—it has a resilience to it like Zorrie herself. (edited) 5d
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii That is it exactly! 5d
julieclair I feel that Noah will become an important figure in Zorrie‘s life. 4d
maich So many happens in these pages. And that miscarriages. My mum was pregnant during Chernobyl accident and she had a miscarriage. She told me that there were so many miscarriages and genetic mutation in Europe because of the Chernobyl. So definitely Zorrie lost her baby because of the radium. 4d
TheBookHippie @maich oh how awful. It‘s so so sad. 4d
maich @TheBookHippie there are so many sad stories from the history that are still untold... 4d
mollyrotondo @DebinHawaii I agree. It‘s terribly sad but it‘s written in a way that makes you continue to feel the fight in Zorrie so you feel worried and angry and sad but not utterly depressed because Zorrie‘s fight keeps you keeping on. Harold wasn‘t my favorite 🙄 3d

PART I

We meet Zorrie and get her back story. What do you think of her childhood? Her Aunt 😵‍💫

Is this writing lovely or what ???

kspenmoll This writing is beautiful! So much related to us in “sparse” writing. “ Eerily lit, at times, by a radium glow, this is a luminous book.” Erica Wagner ( from back cover of the book) 5d
kspenmoll Her aunt was a horror. Nasty. 5d
IndoorDame The writing is so lovely!!! 5d

Sargar114 So dark and then just leaves her nothin!!!! It‘s amazing she made it out as lovey and sociable as she is. 5d
AmyG I am amazed how positive she stayed after living with her nasty Aunt. Agree with @Sargar114. And yes, the writing is wonderful….I am loving this story. 5d
Librarybelle The aunt is a terror. But, how she picks herself up and carries on is inspiring. I‘m liking the writing of this and really wanted to keep reading. I made myself stop after section 2! 5d
Karisa Love the writing! The part in which Noah and Zorrie talking about whirlwinds… breathtaking! Zorrie herself is almost too good to be true at this point—makes her feel not quite fleshed out. Aunt was 🤮! 5d
vonnie862 I love Zorrie. With everything she went through, she kept going on. She tried to find work to better support herself. People back then we're more resilient. 5d
Read4life @Karisa I think breathtaking is a perfect descriptor. 5d
vlwelser The writing is so lovely. I'm glad you found this. I would never have picked this on my own. 5d
mcctrish Zorrie is a wonder. I was so sad when she wasn‘t more forthcoming with her teacher but then she finds a full family and community so ❤️ her aunt was a shit (edited) 5d
DebinHawaii Her aunt was awful! I am enjoying Zorrie as a character & want to learn more. The writing is lovely. I agree with @vlwelser I‘m glad you picked this book because I hadn‘t heard of it & likely would not have picked it. 🤗 5d
BarkingMadRead That aunt is the worst, I was so glad she found real family on her own 5d
CoffeeNBooks Zorrie is so hopeful that everything will work out, despite everything she's been through. 5d
julieclair I am so impressed by her calm strength, despite all the tragedy that has happened to her. She just keeps quietly persevering. 4d
TheBookHippie @julieclair she seems to have inner fortitude that‘s for sure! 4d
TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks I kinda love that. She is quite remarkable. 4d
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead Right?! Our relatives in books are 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 lately!!! 🤣🤣🤣 4d
maich @CoffeeNBooks I agree with you. And that's why I like Zorrie. Her aunt is nasty. In Slovenia, we have the term 'Relatives are a scattered sheet' for all mean relatives. 4d
TheBookHippie @maich I love that saying!!! 4d
mollyrotondo Zorrie definitely had a rough youth. Her parents died and then she was raised by a woman who did not encourage her education. She basically just used Zorrie to keep her farm going. I felt bad though for the aunt because she was in so much debt that she was basically at risk of loosing her farm. It was just terrible that there wasn‘t anything left for Zorrie to inherit in order to keep a roof over her head. 3d

kspenmoll This was heartbreaking to read about with the knowledge we have now. How the girls used it for beauty, etc. ingesting it… Zorrie‘s loss of her baby & infertility caused by the radium - she thought she was haloing her baby. How sad. I wonder how many women suffered this way? 5d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll I wonder as well since I‘m sure there‘s so much more not reported about the affect of radium on these women. 5d
IndoorDame I found it especially hard to read these sections with everyone being so young and carefree. I kept looking for any kind of foreshadowing in the writing itself, but it was only in my mind which was a really strange sensation. 5d
See All 32 Comments
Sargar114 I cringed reading that part and every time she used it as a “tonic” especially when she was pregnant. I was so happy when she got out of there! 5d
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I know- it was in us the reader!!! So visceral!!! 5d
TheBookHippie @Sargar114 me THROW THAT BOX AWAY!!!! 😵‍💫 5d
AmyG I read Radium Girls and when I read what Zorrie was doing I thought….oh no. I would guess, too, her miscarriage and infertility is caused by that. 5d
Sargar114 @TheBookHippie right?!!! 🤢😵‍💫 5d
Sargar114 @AmyG I have that on my tbr! 5d
kspenmoll Thanks for all these articles-here‘s one concerning CT where I live - had no idea of this history. https://connecticuthistory.org/waterburys-radium-girls/ 5d
kspenmoll @IndoorDame I wanted to shout at Zorrie to stop using it! Yes, @TheBookHippie “ THROW THAT BOX AWAY!!!!!!” 5d
AmyG @Sargar114 It‘s a heartbreaking book…but very good. 5d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll oh my goodness …I was thinking while reading without Radium Girls being such a big hit would people even know about any of this? It should be taught in history class. Fascinating article you found. 5d
Librarybelle @AmyG Exactly. I too have read Radium Girls, and I think I actually said “oh no” out loud when we got to the first section. I groaned when she took radium during her pregnancy. It‘s so hard to see how people lived with this and interacted with this knowing what we know now. Same thing with opium and laudanum - I want to scream “don‘t touch that!” 5d
Karisa When they instructed her to put the brush in her mouth ((shudder)). I can see how the glow would seem like magic though. I didn‘t realize some people even thought it was healthy to use! 😢Makes you wonder what everyday things today will be found to be toxic… 5d
TheBookHippie @Karisa I had those same thoughts. Look at all the things women have taken in pregnancy that turned out to be deadly Thalidomide and Diethylstilboestrol (DES) just two examples. Nonstick pans etc etc 😵‍💫 5d
Karisa @TheBookHippie Oooh, yes. Exactly 😢 5d
vonnie862 I need to read Radium Girls. I shouldn't be shocked that radium was used for everything but I can't imagine all the health issues and deaths it caused. It broke my heart that Zorrie lost her baby and could not get pregnant again because of the radium. 5d
Read4life I, too, need to read Radium Girls. Like others have said, it was heartbreaking reading this section, seeing the joy the ladies felt using the powder for fun with the younger kids, etc and knowing the devastating effects it would bring. 5d
vlwelser I was horrified by this. Those poor girls. But how were they supposed to know? And then Zorrie loses the baby. So awful. 5d
mcctrish @Karisa as I was reading the part of her training I hit that part about putting the brush in her mouth and my brain corrected to “before” dipping and I kept going and then the real words caught up to me and I said “oh no, not after WTF” and then I thought do I know what radium actually is? Is it bad? Please don‘t be bad 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5d
mcctrish This was bloody heartbreaking 5d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish I was holding my breath while reading and then DREAD… but, how would they know? 5d
Karisa @mcctrish 😭 Horrible 5d
DebinHawaii I echo everyone. Having read Radium Girls as well, my heart just sank with the training, the brush in the mouth & taking her in the bathroom to see the glow & how much they used it. Then with the baby. So tragic. 😭 5d
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I imagine it was fun and new how could they know, but reading it we all just sucked in our breath, so worried for them all! 5d
BarkingMadRead I haven‘t read Radium Girls, the parts with the baby were heartbreaking, I hope she never knows 5d
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I had that same thought. 5d
CoffeeNBooks I read Radium Girls, too, so I worried as soon as I read this part. 5d
julieclair So so sad with the radium. And she purposely took it while pregnant because she thought it was healthy. 😢 4d
maich I was worried for her. She will probably die soon. I remembered of Marie Curie (my favourite scientist). She gave her life to radioactivity and died as a result. Her diaries still emit radiation today. 4d
mollyrotondo I learned so much from Radium Girls that as soon as she started working in this factory I thought oh no. And I loved how the author did not explain anything but just left everything for us to figure out. It‘s a sad story but incredibly beautifully written. 3d

I enjoyed this one quite a bit and I hope she becomes a nun 💟.

I very much enjoyed the read and l like the ending non ending. I enjoy Wharton's prose very much, even when it's about vapid people...

I‘d have never read this without the group so thanks all! Sorry I fell so far behind!!

Soscha Ugh. I‘m not Jewish but proud to be a Zionist. Which isn‘t a pejorative no matter how some children believe it to be. All it means is you believe the nation of Israel exists & deserves to exist. There are THREE generations of born-in-Israel Israelis with a 20% population Palestinians that have the right to vote, worship the religion of their choice, be LGBTQ+ & serve on the Shin Bet. That‘s the reality. Let them live in peace. 1w

1. My Grandma

2. Sophie Scholl. Sophie has nearly 200 schools named after her in Germany. After the failed July 20, 1944, attempt on Hitler‘s life, the White Rose students are the best-known example of Germans who sought to resist the Nazis. That there were so few similar deeds shows just how difficult and dangerous resistance was and how successful Nazi tactics had been in desensitising consciences and eliminating whatever stood in their way.

TheSpineView So much bravery during wars. Thanks for playing! 1w

I finished this today -it was very hard for me personally to read. I generally do not read fictional Holocaust stories because there are so many nonfiction deserving of my witness. The enduring impact of trauma is hard to describe. This comes close. Much more to say but … I‘m tired of trying to explain why this matters. In other weird news this was on the shelf in our public library. No holds, no one taking it out. Librarian didn‘t recognise it ..

StaceGhost I‘m taking a grad class called trauma and the holocaust and some of us are learning Yiddish so we can read and translate great Jewish poets. I thought I knew a lot about it but now I feel like an old writing desk crammed with a thousand stories, about to come apart. 1w
mcctrish What I think this book did an amazing job of, and maybe it‘s just where I am in my learning/processing of the holocaust, is talking about the bystanders. How it wove underneath the story, I‘m almost in tears writing this thinking about the layers of systematic plotting Hitler did in eradicating anyone he thought worthless and the relief people felt at “it‘s not me” and voila, the bystanders are born 1w
TheBookHippie @StaceGhost How wonderful. I bet it‘s fascinating. So many stories. It‘s hard to grasp the entire scope of it all😭……Yiddish is fun, I know quite a bit of it. I‘ve done that as well with poetry and short novellas. 1w

#FOODANDLIT VENEZUELA 🇻🇪

My library had TWO books. Tagged book is mine from my TBR

The U.S. Department of State strongly recommends U.S. citizens do not travel to Venezuela. If you must travel to Venezuela, we recommend you avoid all land border crossings into Venezuela on the Colombian border. Detentions of U.S. citizens at formal or informal border crossings into Venezuela are common. 😵‍💫😅

vlwelser My current intern is from Caracas. She also says not to go there. Especially Americans or basically anyone else that doesn't speak Spanish. 2w
