Loving this!

Lots of intergenerational conflict between grown men come home and their country folk moms

I’ve loved and read Flannery O’Connor’s older stories, but haven’t read this later collection. It’s been on my list for years. Looking forward to it!

Interesting while reading but once I put it down I’m not eager to go back to it. I like the way the history of basketball and changes along gender rules and racial integration lines are built into the narrative.

Wildly invested

Into it!

Very into it

Was the author paid by reference to “tiny hands” or something?

Checking out a few children’s books for Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander month, as well as checking out some graphic novels and novels 🙂

Ope something besides internal monologues just took til 84%

A first minor live spooky event at 78%, I really wish there had been a sense of danger and spookiness before this moment. Everything is told matter of fact that happened decades ago, and it feels so far and distant and non-threatening.
Which isn’t inherently bad but it’s not what I’d expect from a horror book club pick.
