Do it!

Wow, had no idea. Thank you

Had the same experience reading the book as you did listening and came away with the same thoughts.

Absolutely! It also dove-tailed with other things I’m reading personally, like Arundhati Roy’s essays and a book on the history of American bookstores. I love when that happens- readings that enrich each other?! Feels like magic! 💛

Agreed, Wild Dark Shore was excellent. Adding the Annie Hartnett to my “sooner” list. Thank you!

I had to get up and take a lap around the sleeping house after I finished at 3am. 😆 What were the others in your top 3?!

Thought this was a writing snippet of your own you were sharing and sighed the same sigh. Then I read your comment. I might have whiplash from the “ugh to yay!” ride I just took. 😆

Not bad at all! Congratulations.

These are going into the holiday gift spreadsheet! I’m building libraries for nieces and nephews one holiday at a time. :) TY

It does. A beautiful sad, but definitely leaves you with a heaviness to hold and consider. I would have needed to put it on my “Paused” list a few months ago. When you are feeling ready, it is a book that does not opt out of discomfort with a serendipitous plot trick or anything.

I forgot all about Magic Tree House! These are great, thank you!

Thank you!

Oo! Do you mind saying why? This is on a list and I keep putting it off.
