Tournament of Books discussion

space to discuss one of the commentariat's favorites & worry about what other darling it will face in the tourney!

This book! I feel like there is so much to talk about. It is also a book that made its rounds through my podcast, first on Episode 086 when Shawn Mooney discussed it to Episode 111 when I discussed it, and then it gets like 3-4 other mentions by other guests who read it because of the podcast or picked it for best book of whatever year they read it.

It's been a few years since I read it so I kinda want to return to it!

I also think it's high time for her next novel!

I love this book with my whole heart. It won’t likely survive the first round (AGAIN ... grrrrrr....) given the pairing, but I’ll never stop admiring it.

Yes, I, too, am eager for her sophomore effort and also sympathetic to what a hard act she gave herself to follow.
