Taking inspiration from Kayla, I’m going to start tracking the books I read.
ALBA FRAGMENTS by Audrey Niffenegger
SHARP OBJECTS by Gillian Flynn
WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE by Maria Semple
THE LONGEST DATE: MY LIFE AS A WIFE by Cindy Chupack
“Being single in your late thirties means you have to do some seriously stupid shit to prove you’re still fun, like ride in the back of a pickup, rappel down a waterfall, or go on a two-day river rafting/camping trip.”
DARK PLACES by Gillian Flynn
“I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ.”
A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN by Betty Smith
“On Sunday, most people crowded into the eleven o’clock mass. Well, some people, a few, went to the early six o’clock mass. They were given credit for this but they deserved none for they were the ones who had stayed out so late that it was morning when they got home. So they went to this early mass, got it over with and went home and slept all day with a free conscience.”
Beautiful descriptions! I recently reread A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and its poignancy always makes me cry. I had no idea there was a sequel to The Time Traveler’s Wife so I’ll check that out asap.
