Are you enjoying it? I tried reading this one soon after it came out and I just couldn’t get into it. But it could have been timing and exhaustion between work and kids.

But you know how it is, sometimes a writer and a book just clicks!!!
Glad to hear that, Mark. Might have to give it another chance.
Wow! From Faulkner to Morrison! You’re doing some serious reading, Mark!

How's that for a surprise? Cheers 🤗🎈
How is it going so far? I've heard Beloved can be both beautiful and emotionally devastating at the same time, so I’m really curious how you’re finding it.
Hey Pia, well its both, and also magical ✨️ But, overwhelmingly sad 😔
Honestly, that combination of magical and devastating makes me even more curious about it now. Happy reading! 🤗
