Thank you, I haven’t heard of either, but will have to check them out!

I have read it! Astonishing that someone can pull on the heart so hard with so few words.

I just got a copy of Beautyland because I’ve heard such good things about it!

Claire Keegan is an amazing writer. If you haven’t yet done so, read Foster. Another one that touched my heart. There’s a movie based on it called The Quiet Girl.

He loses much of the tension in his slow-burn. I will skip the latest one. We both read In Memoriam this month and I liked a lot as well. It was my book of the month – it felt epic too. I did read a few January releases: The Waters by Bonnie Jo Campbell and The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan, but both of those were like 3 star or 3.5 reads. I would not pick up either if I had to do it again … but perhaps some of the light humor in Beautyland makes it worthwhile. I am almost done with the audio. But I agree let’s move on from January!
