December Reading Wrap Up

there were some really beautiful lyrical poems that i really enjoyed

it was very like tangential history of private life it was not very focused and it was very meandering and anecdotal

there was just a really wonderful beautiful compelling read so i highly recommend this one definitely one of my favorite books this month

i love this book so much there is so much i loved about this i think each individual story for me felt so complete and so perfect and was such a wonderful short story on their own

i have very mixed feelings about this book because objectively this is a very good book but it was too dark for me and i'm not sure that i can really say that i enjoyed it

there was so much i loved about this book i thought it was really beautifully written i love the way patrick gail writes about family i think he just does it brilliantly and the characterization in here was just so real like i just think his writing is great

there were some things about this book that i really enjoyed there's a lot of interesting exploration of gender in this book i think the characterization in general is interesting and some of the way it looks at memory is quite interesting too but i just found it a little bit confusing and the very end of it was really confusing and i didn't really understand what was going on

this one was quite fun i didn't enjoy it quite as much as some of the other jeeves stories and partly because i think most of the g's books i've read so far have been like sort of short story collections and they do have sort of links between the chapters but they're fairly episodical and this is sort of like one narrative and i think it was a little bit too long

this was really good fun and i really enjoyed it was entertaining and clever and i liked the way that it characterized all the different bronte siblings

it's very good fun as all diana wind jones is it's funny and it's witty and it's clever and i just really enjoyed it

i read the author's book the rabbit back literature society a few years ago and really enjoyed it

it was a weird book but i really loved it and it was great

the writing fell a little bit flat for me and there were a few elements that i found quite problematic especially the way this book looks at dementia and people with dementia in a very dehumanizing way which i did not like at all
