Books and Jams Readalong discussion

Chapter 1 was too short to really get a good first impression I think. (Of course I haven't started reading it yet, so I could be wrong.) SO I'm including the first 2 chapters for our first impressions comments. What do you think so far? Did you have expectations going into this book? Do you think you're going to enjoy it??

O.K. so I started it this afternoon. Not sure what I think. Is definitely not the type of book I usually read. The first two chapters to me don't really give me much insight. She seems a sprite lady for as old as she is. To be living alone at her age in NY I can say impressive.

I went back and reread Chapter 2 and it seems Lillian is jealous of her sons relationship with his stepmother. Which makes me wonder did her job take her away from her family a lot and what will we learn about that in the coming chapters.

I'm not sure if I'm 100% into it yet, but Lillian is a firecracker! I'm loving her tone of voice, and her phrases. :)

I finally got started tonight. Sorry for being so late! I am not connecting with the writing style yet. Hoping it gets better as we go along. I have a feeling it is going to be very character driving - and mainly about Lillian, obviously. I am not convinced I'm going to really enjoy this book. Hopefully it surprises me. We shall see.

I haven't even started the book yet. This has been such busy month. I have two books to finish before I get to Lillian. I am sorry you are thinking you might not like it. I was one of the people who thought it might be a good read. Elisa at "Paperbits" really liked it. Oh well, we win some and we lose some.

Finally, I have had time to start Lillian. So far so good.
