 Daily Joys – 193
Some days are just too tough.
Loved this book of characters who are all interconnected through a storage depot in Boston. It was relatively light but still fun and enjoyable. Read it quickly and it kept my interest the whole time.  Daily Joys – 192
Rest day. Giving myself grace.
I loved this book. I know many thought it was too long and it was too much about video games. I didn’t. I am not a huge gamer but I did know most of the games mentioned in the book and I am a programmer so that part didn’t scare me. But this book wasn’t about that in the end. It was about the deeply layered, flawed, interesting, and complex characters and how they changed each others lives. I loved every one of them and I could not stop listening to it once I started. It did not feel long to me at all. Loved it.
This book took me forever to read. I started it at least ten times. It felt too depressing each time so I put it down. After months, I finally picked it as my book club pick so I would make my way through the book. Even then, it took me days to finish. I can’t put my finger on exactly why this book didn’t have as profound as effect on me as it seems to have on many others. The writing was totally fine and I did love the food and all the evocative scenes. But I think in the end, it felt like the story was about grief, yes, but not about growth. Not about what she learned. Such it made it an interesting and very sad story but harder for me to relate to it and make it my own. Still I am glad I read it and grateful for more stories of grief out in the world.
I really enjoyed this quiet but textured book with stories around infertility, family, sisterhood, and how we and our stories help each other.  Daily Joys – 191
Love my people. Watching Korean tv and resting.  Daily Joys – 190
Feeling light today. Grateful.  Daily Joys – 189
Better than I thought. We’ll take the win.
Heartfelt and beautiful book about family, sisterhood, loss and love. I enjoyed this story and recommend it.
Ok I know I am in the minority but I disliked this book. I found the characters stupid and despicable and I really felt awful by the time I was done reading it. I gave it two stars because I did keep reading it and some of the twists were interesting but I was of course able to guess the biggest ones and honestly, I was so unhappy by the end that I am sorry I read this book. |
