I finished Emma M Lion. I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life. Started over at the beginning, this time on audio. I’ve been mispronouncing everything in my brain. Through book 3, I find them even funnier with the excellent narration.
I thought Pachinko was lovely. Min Jin Lee has written American Hagwon, coming in September, and I wanted to read her master class first. It took until well into the second half before explaining what Pachinko is, a parlor game. Who knew?
Did you see The Odyssey? Are you the kind of person who needs the movie to align exactly with the text, or do you allow the movie to merely be inspired by it? I really liked it, thought it was very stressful! (So somehow I saw it again a couple of days later 🤷♀️)
Up next? I’m halfway through the upcoming Barbara Kingsolver, Partita, which will be out in October and follows a musician reminded of her past.
What’s on your shelf this month?

I have only done Emma M. Lion on audio and my second read needs to be print to figure out how everything is spelled. 😂 I started Everything Was Beautiful… and had to bail out. Maybe it will be the right book at another time but I couldn’t handle it!

I am listening to Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt right now. (Not RIGHT right now, but you know.)
