Chad Spencer | 2 comments Untamed (getting kinda over it though (sorry glennon)) and court of thorn and roses!


message 29: by Bill (new)

Bill | 464 comments I recently heard that in May the tv series "Pose" will begin its third and final season. That reminded me of the similarly themed The House of Impossible Beauties by Joseph Cassara. Looking forward to both.

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.


message 32: by Tim (new)

Tim | 152 comments Sadly found myself bored by the hugely popular Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Was hoping to like it more. Maybe I'm growing dour in my old age.

I am enjoying David Sedaris' Calypso on audio whilst walking the dogs.

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 465 comments Laura, I read that 20+ years ago and loved it so much that I'm afraid to read it again in case I don't.


message 36: by Laura (new)

Laura | 20 comments Hi Natasha! So far it is a bit confusing I don’t really understand what’s going on but fingers crossed it becomes a favourite by the end!


message 37: by Eugene (new)

Eugene Galt (eugenegalt) | 286 comments I have reviewed Close to the Knives. I have just started Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories by Flannery O'Connor.

I also enjoyed Catch-22.

I was totally unprepared for how serious that novel gets as it moves along. It's a good choice!
