My travel read - not sure when I'll get back to this, but it's really funny so far!

Bonnie is on page 157 of 320 of Year of Wonders
The first chapter takes place after the events of the book, and gives away which of the characters end up dying, but I don't really mind that, at all. It helps soften some really rough blows. This is a grim follow up to Never Let Me Go!

Knowing Ishiguro's style of writing, as I now do, and the plot of this book, as had been spoiled, I wasn't sure how it would fit, but this is as 'Ishiguro' as the other two were.

This book is taking too long to get where I know it's going. I feel about three steps ahead of it, plot-wise, which is super frustrating!

Reminds me very much of the last book I read. Perhaps it will change once he gets to Shanghai.

Stevens seems a combination of Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice, and Professor Snape.

Very similar, in several ways, to the last book I read, but, so far, I'm enjoying this one more. Perhaps it's because I saw the movie the book is based on, so I can kind of picture it better. Mostly, though, I find the character fascinating.

I didn't read during the move, but I'm back at it now. I finished the main story, and, so far, I'm liking the short stories after the main story better.

They're on their way to a neighbor's reunion. Period. That's about as plotty as it gets in amongst the abundant chat.

Maybe a low star rating coming for this one, but I'm still working out why.......

I predict that Tish will end up with Julian and Kitty will end up with Hank.

I wish it would alternate between the 3 sisters' perspectives. I also thought that it would be an epistolary novel, but I'm liking it enough not to be too disappointed by the fact that it's not.

I like the chapters in the past with Ptolemy.

I'm rooting for Kitty more than Nathaniel, but I've always loved Bartimaeus.

These chapter endings make you want to just keep on reading! I like the differences in this book from the first one, but the progression of the plot seems very similar.

I like the additional narrator. But I don't know if I like that Bartimaeus is the only one in first person.

This is one of those books that keep you reading. It's hard to stop at the end of one chapter, and not just go on reading the next.

The alternating narrators are interesting, though a bit odd. One is in 1st person, the other is 3rd. One starts in the present, the other catches up from the past. I do like how information learned from one of the narrators is beneficial to understanding what's going on in the other narrator's chapters.

I should read more books like this: well written contemporary fiction, with an emphasis on character development, without too much sacrifice of the plot.

She's a very judgey narrator, but otherwise, I'm really liking the story.

There was a short section with just letters between the characters that I liked very much.

It's currently very soap opera-y. Grand enemies, a love triangle, and lots of drama. Her ballet and his painting seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Very good so far. Degas just entered the picture (ha ha) and he's not so nice, so far. But I have a feeling that will change.
