Karen | 162 comments Happy new year all !
Hope you are all well and enjoyed a lovely christmas?
This month we will be reading Housekeeping
Published in 1981, this is Marilynne Robinson's first novel.
One of the Observer's hundred greatest novels of all time and it also received the PEN/Hemingway Award for the best first novel. Hope you can join me this month.
Best wishes Karen x : )

Cool. This has been on my tbr since 2017, so I requested it from the library. I should have it in a couple weeks and then I'll join this discussion.

Thanks Karen. You too!


Adelyne (adelynechan) | 11 comments I'm joining this too - just got to wait for the copy I ordered to arrive from Amazon. The reviews are amazing but some have also commented that it's quite literature-y, so I might struggle, but I'm liking the premise from the blurb so let's see how it goes.

I'm really enjoying it so far.
