Getting early start on fall book club selection. Going slowly. Unimpressed with his cheating on his wife and how he plays his wife and mom off each other.

Hilarious and insightful. Highlights so far are sweet valley high, scrabble tournament, rules of friendship, and being faculty sponsor/mentor to a student group

Elections, race identity, and food network = good stuff

Sad and relatable

Intense and engaging

Dark and sad, but also inspiring and hopeful

Appreciate the approach and struggle to make friends

#fridayreads funny and poignant. Feels so good to be reading a book club selection again!!

Funny, but also poignant

Love the family immigrant stories.

Maybe my enthusiasm for the book will return while I wait for it again from the library

I should be intrigued with the unresolved issues that are coming up, but it is hard to feel connected to the main character

#fridayreads something is off and feels odd with the book

Light reading to start the year, but wish I liked the main character more.

Good news: easy to get into bad news: hard to put down which results in a bad combination of late nights and early mornings

Nice to return to Hogwarts with new and familiar characters

#fridayreads glad to get a better understanding of the tempest. Engaging, beautiful, and insightful. Makes me miss book club even more because I want to discuss

Like hearing ideas and theories about what happens to characters in the tempest after the play ends

Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled

The transformative power of the theatre is shown! #fridayreads

Nice to be with these characters again. Comforted to see that even the legendary Harry Potter struggles to communicate/connect with his kids. Although, I am now more nervous about parenting the kids as they get older.

Compelling and makes me not mind train delays because I can read more #fridayreads

Amazing how much more I read when I stop checking my phone obsessively

Laughing, but still having trouble finding time to read

Yay! I finished a book. This turned out better than I expected

Poetic passage about bringing the wild home with you

Love all the different ways we remake the world after loss and how we make places are own

I am rooting for Helen and hope Mabel continues to help her heal

Surprisingly moving.
