I came very close to buying WPWT for my cruise but decided against it. I'm glad it worked for you!<br /><br />I loooooved The Maid, so I'm bummed it didn't work for you. It was definitely a little unrealistic at the end, though. I think I rated it more for the characters than the plot. It just gave me such happy feels. <br /><br />Best book I read in November... probably The 57 Bus. I also found I'm Glad My Mom Died to be a super compelling read.Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-62938996546173985102022-12-02T15:39:36.786-06:002022-12-02T15:39:36.786-06:00I abandoned a couple in November, too.

I hadn't read it yet, but decided that if I liked the description enough that it jumped out at me twice, I had better read it. So I gave one copy to a friend, and finally read the other. I really enjoyed it! It was 'In 5 Years' by Rebecca Serle. Not a new book.<br /><br />I'm currently reading two books...'Haven' by Emma Donoghue, which I am enjoying. I'm listening to 'Lucy by the Sea' by Elizabeth Strout. I really like her writing style.<br /><br />I am perfectly happy to abandon a book if I cannot get into it, though at the same time, sometimes I end up loving a book that took me awhile to get into.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-24738921173644842002022-12-01T11:38:49.731-06:002022-12-01T11:38:49.731-06:00All 3 of your nests are on my holds list at the li...All 3 of your nests are on my holds list at the library-- can't wait!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270389106604867450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-24049976330252143262022-11-30T17:42:03.735-06:002022-11-30T17:42:03.735-06:00I really like think again, it's really importa...I really like think again, it's really important to not stick to an idea when there's new evidence to show otherwise. the ability to think again is a real strength and sign of confidence. Unfortunately most people likes to stick to one idea and not even want to consider alternatives. cocohttps://newjourneystarts.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-80542068108466798612022-11-30T13:34:18.984-06:002022-11-30T13:34:18.984-06:00I love the Bruce books.

For awhile I would buy a new one for my niece each Christmas but she's outgrown them so now I shall delight my own child with them! :) I have abandoned the most books I ever have this year. The only book I didnt really care for this month was Our Missing Hearts and I realllllly wanted to love it but the first part of the book was so hard to get into that I almost gave up.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-57806864238966341392022-11-30T12:31:44.708-06:002022-11-30T12:31:44.708-06:00Wrong Place, Wrong Time sounds really good!

I will add it to my list. <br /><br />I read The Maid last month and I liked it pretty well, but I agree it was wildly unrealistic as well as predictable. Plus I wanted more closure on the Wilbur angle. But I liked Molly and -- since I listened to it -- I really enjoyed the narration.<br /><br />Mo Willems is an absolute treasure. My daughter adored/adores the Elephant and Piggie books. <br /><br />Have you/your kids read any of the Jon Klassen or Mac Barnett books? I don't know why they popped into my head, because they are not the same, but my daughter (and I) love them as well.

I'm slowly coming out of it, having read a good romance novel and the newest Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) books. Let's hope December turns around our reading game.NGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056381269070465424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-8643367654811714562022-11-30T08:36:58.303-06:002022-11-30T08:36:58.303-06:00"I'll Show Myself Out" reminds me of..."I'll Show Myself Out" reminds me of that terrible memoir I read "Bookends" in which the author had so much ridiculous privilege, and name-dropped constantly, that I just could not muster up compassion or empathy for her in any way. I actually listened to one of her podcasts because she was interviewing Catherine Newman, and I was just so viscerally affected by even her voice. Now stupid Spotify keeps suggesting episodes of her pod and I can't figure out how to get it to stop doing that.<br /><br />I liked the Maid a lot!<br /><br />My sons used to like Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-5793202090200555772022-11-30T07:23:52.792-06:002022-11-30T07:23:52.792-06:00I enjoyed Think Again and also thought The Maid wa...I enjoyed Think Again and also thought The Maid was only okay, but have not read any of the others on your list! I have abandoned five books this year and have had a few DNS due to your recommendations! <br /><br />November was a great reading month for me; I had a lot of books that I really liked: I read 15 books and five were four stars and four were five stars! My five star books were Carrie Soto, I Am Glad My Mom Died, One Hundred Years of Lennie and Margo and These Silent Woods.

I find them so interesting!! <br /><br />I mostly just read The Day the World Came to Town. And I also finished that huge Tribe of Mentors book early in the month. I recently started a Christmas book called The 13th Gift that seems very touching so far. <br />Grateful Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806911561388871220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-34728880280503159922022-11-30T03:42:36.536-06:002022-11-30T03:42:36.536-06:00Potty humour lands very well with me, too (and my ...Potty humour lands very well with me, too (and my kids actually).<br />I've never been able to get into the "Bruce" books, but I'll have to try again!<br /><br />I also read The Measure and Think Again this month; review coming soon!Elisabethhttp://elisabeth-frost.comnoreply@blogger.com
