What is everyone reading this month?
How did you like it? What was it about? Why did you pick that particular book to read? |
| I started Rest is Resistance. I love the message but the first chapter is a bit repetitive. Not sure I’ll stick with it. |
| I re-read the US Constitution every year. Should be required reading. |
|
I recently got off the hold list for Fourth Wing, and I'm going to start it today! I just finished Carrie Soto is Back yesterday, and liked it (but I posted about this in the June thread).
I picked Fourth Wing because it seems very popular in a FB book group I am in, and my sister and her friend read it and both liked it. |
| Just started How To Lose A Time War, which I’ve been meaning to read for years. Really enjoying it so far. |
Glad you liked Carrie Soto, I had heard mixed reviews. What is the fb book group you’re a part of? |
Is it YA Fantasy? Are you normally a fan? Would love to hear what you think. |
| I didn’t care for the Carrie Soto book. I only liked Daisy and the Six from that author. |
I didn’t like Daisy Jones but I liked Evelyn Hugo. |
I know this is going to sound absurd, but I carry a copy of it with me at all times. It's small, fits easily into my purse. It was given to me by a VIP when I started working years ago, after she gave a speech to all of us new lawyers about our sacred duty to uphold the rule of law. I took it seriously. And have kept that little reminder with me ever since. It's come in handy a few times when someone who didn't know anything about the Constitution started rambling on about it and getting things wrong, lol. |
| Verity. So good with unexpected plot twist in the end |
I’m going to do that tomorrow! Thanks for the idea; it’s a nice way to celebrate the season. |
FWIW - I like Carrie Soto, Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo all pretty equally - & more than I liked Malibu Rising. Peloton Moms Book Club - I love that group. You can join even if you're not a mom or have a peloton, I believe. |
I think it's about dragons I'm up for anything, really, and I like to change things up. I haven't read a dragon book recently
My sister's review was "Fourth Wing isn't going to win any Pulizer Prizes, but I can't put it down." |
Me again - sorry to keep posting, but I wanted to add that I am glad I read Malibu Rising, because Carrie Soto is a character in it. Also - Carrie Soto is Back is a lot of tennis, more tennis than I was expecting. I don't play tennis but as a general matter, I like sports and books about sports. It was a good beach read - I read it while in Hilton Head this past week. |
