I wonder if I’m just over the genre? Actually, no, this writing and plot was simply dreadful.

Oh, interesting. I try and use the aqua sparingly and to bold it to help it stand out better, but I’m sorry to hear it’s problematic. I’ll look at something darker.

I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but pleased to hear from another PNW lover. I hope both your health and your reading improve!

I read that a long time ago, but can’t remember what I thought of it. Are you enjoying it?

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. There’s a surprising (to me) amount of pushback against it. I thought it was incredible.

Ugh. It’s at times hard to screw up a coming of age tale … but I guess it can be done, sadly.

I have one quibble, however: The pale aqua captions are hard to read with my 76-year-old eyes due to the lack of contrast. I can read them, but it takes more effort. I have the same complaint with the interview section of the New York Times Magazine, so you’re in good company. Please consider a darker font for your readers with aging eyes or low vision. Thanks!

I am in a reading slump not sure why…. I just finished, Stay True, hmmmm, meh, not in the mood?!? Wasn’t a fan. Only read 4 books in January, not great. Am half way through Migrations, and Am Savoring The Book.

Thank you for your honest, candid insights to your life. I didn’t know about your health challenge and am facing a new diagnosis of an autoimmune issue….

I’m in the Pacific Northwest too!

I really appreciate your reviews, look forward to them all. Helps me cull my TBR

I read some great books but not as stellar as I’ve read in past months. My favorite was “All the Broken Places” by John Boyne – thanks for putting that book on my radar. Boyne is an auto-read for me but I somehow hadn’t heard he had a new book out!
