For those of you who attend reading groups, what are you reading/discussing this month? If you are not in a group, which of these selections sound good to you?
I'll be interested to read your thoughts on The Sense of an Ending. I read and reviewed it in 2012 and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I have read so many mixed reviews. It will be my first Julian Barnes. And I certainly want to read it before I see the movie.
DeleteLooking forward to your review of Daughter of Fortune since I have it in my TBR list. Do you know it has a second part? I think Portrait in Sepia continues the story.
ReplyDeleteI have read both of those novels and loved them. Unfortunately I read them back in 2000 and 2002, before I was blogging and I don't plan to reread at this time. So there will not be a review. But they are great historical fiction featuring the same woman and her story of breaking free of oppression and finding her abilities. You will love them too! I used to read each of her novels as they came out and I still do. You can find the ones I have reviewed here by searching Isabel Allende on the blog.
DeleteActually, Daughter of Fortune is part of a trilogy, Portrait in Sepia tells the story of the other side of the family, The House of the Spirits brings them all together.
DeleteThey are all great reads that I can highly recommend.
Have a good day,
Marianne from
Let's Read
I have read all three and completely agree!
DeleteI'll be interested to read your thoughts on "Daughter of Fortune".
ReplyDeleteThat heart picture makes my heart melting... so beautiful :)
It is a beautiful book. I read it back in 2000 so will not do review at this time but I highly recommend it.
DeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeletethank you for visiting my blog. Your book club reads sound all very interesting.
As I mentioned on my page, so far, I have only read Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende and one book by Patrick Modiano (La Place de l'Étoile) and have a book by Hamid Mohsin on my TBR pile but I'm sure they are all great reads.
Happy Reading,
Marianne
And thank you for visiting mine! I love your reviews.
DeleteNot currently reading anything for my church's book club as we're on a break, due to the vicar and his wife just having a baby :-)
ReplyDeleteWell that is a happy reason!
DeleteYeah I read & reviewed the Barnes one recently & the movie. I will refrain from saying more till you finish it. You probably liked Exit West a bit more than I did but still worthy. Enjoy your discussions and I hope the Babes will get to see the movie of it too.
ReplyDeleteI will revisit your reviews when I finish the book. Yes, I bet the Babes will have another movie party! Exit West really impressed me and our discussion at Laura's Group was great.
