Jeatherhane Reads's bookshelf: favorites
This is the most incredible story I have ever read. Impossible to put down.
I understand why this novel won the Pulitzer for fiction. I listened on audio, and the narrator was excellent.
This is a story about living in a small, dying town in America. I think anyone who has lived in a small community will connec...
When I read a Tana French novel, I come away feeling as though I actually know the characters. This is my favourite kind of book – one where I actually forget about the plot because I am just spending time with friends. At times I forgot...
This is a retelling of Greek myths from the point of view of Circe, daughter of the god Helios. I loved the title character, and I loved that she was reimagined as a relatable and complex character, rather than simply a villain.
Circe ...
Continuing with my reviews of top ten favorites of all time, I re-read Rebecca recently. Written in 1938, it has a writing style that can put me off sometimes - long descriptive paragraphs of the house and grounds - but in this case, it ...
Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo is the story of Yejide and her husband, Akin, who married for love and want to break from the tradition of polygamy. But when Yejide is unable to get pregnant, Akin’s family pressures him to take a second ...
This book made me laugh out loud and cry out loud. My favourite combination.
:)
This is Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel. It is completely riveting, heartbreaking work of fiction about the history of slave trade that begins with Fante folklore and ends in present day America.
Effia the Beauty was born under a curse in a vil...
A senseless tragedy takes the lives of June’s entire family. Bill Clegg writes, in vivid detail, how several people caught in the aftermath are affected by the disaster. I love books with alternating points of view if they are done well....
This is an excellent book about depression with many valuable insights and helpful advice on how to make it through.
I am practically crying from nostalgia. This game - er, book - is so much fun for an 80s geek like me.
:)
This book is heartbreaking. I couldn't stop reading it and now that I'm at the end I want to start over.
Still as awesome as when I read it 15 years ago. "What we seek we are." :)
The characters in this book were so real and funny and I related to all of them in some way. I couldn't put this one down.
:)
At the beginning of this book, I was disappointed and thought I would not enjoy it the way I loved the other John Green books I've read. The footnotes annoyed me, the characters annoyed me, the language annoyed me. But they grew on me, I...
I love John Green's writing and his characters. This book made me laugh and cry (a lot).
I saw the movie before I knew there was a book. The book is quite different from the movie, and I love them both.
I first read Rules of Civility in 2013, and since then I have loosely thought of it as my favorite novel.
This is one of those books that I loved so much I wish I could read it again for the first time. I have always been afraid that I...
How fun it is to revisit favorite books. I have never been one for re-reading (there are so many good books to read) but writing these reviews has given me the desire to do just that. I guess favorites are favorites for a reason.
"Now t...
I wasn't sure what to think when I read the first chapter. This was my pick for book club, and I thought "Uh oh, this book is going to be boring." Boy, was I wrong! I have been laughing out loud and sobbing hysterically for two days. I a...
Great book. The character is sarcastic and funny as heck, and I could relate to his anxiety.
