Odds and ends and ramblings

December 9, 2020 by Bothari43 1 Comment

I have never before hit my CBR goal and then just stopped, but 2020 has sapped my motivation and willpower and wordpower. So these aren’t real reviews, but I did want to do a brief round-up of some of the books I’ve finished recently, because one was SO GOOD I needed to add my voice to the chorus of praise, and because one was SO disappointing I needed to growl about it for a sec. So here’s my Cannonball Lightning Round:   So You Want […]

I still don’t really know how I feel about this book. #CBRBingo – Red

Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) by Jojo Moyes

August 3, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

This is one of those books that has the weight of expectations before you even pick it up. I bought it, actually at a Rainbow Rowell reading, right before the movie came out and everyone was talking about it all the time. Then my sister completely spoiled me for the plot (I asked her to; she wasn’t being a dick), and it sounded like something that would make me angry, so I just never got around to it. Flash forward to this year when the […]

One Plus One is the story of a single mom of three – a mathematical wunderkind daughter, the son of her estranged husband and his ex, and a stinky, lovable dog – and her fight to give her children a better life. When her daughter is offered a spot at a prestigious school with a generous scholarship, she must find a way to afford the rest. A math competition is announced, and the top prize is enough money to pay the school fees. The only […]

The Packhorse Library

The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

January 26, 2020 by Sophia Leave a Comment

Once again, I was sucked in by my library’s “Lucky Day” books. The Giver of Stars (2019) was just sitting on the shelf looking all shiny and new, and I couldn’t resist. The blurb said something about the friendship of women and library books, and that was enough for me. I’ve only read one other book by JoJo Moyes, Me Before You, and I enjoyed it more than I had expected. I was more than willing to give a second book by Moyes a try. The book takes place […]

Sappy, but some interesting history in the background

The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

January 24, 2020 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

I feel like Jojo Moyes has begun to resemble Liane Moriarty in my mind — I read their big hit a few years ago (Me Before You for Jojo, I think Big Little Lies for Moriarty), immediately devoured all their back catalog, and have jumped on the waiting list for each of their new books. But like Nine Perfect Strangers, which soured me on Moriarty a little (that book was just terrible), I may be ready to retire my super-fan status of Moyes. Not forever, but I […]

“For the old Kentucky home far away”

The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

January 20, 2020 by Vern Leave a Comment

I had skipped Jojo Moyes’ previous outings and did not immediately recognize the author without her telltale font when I selected this for my Book of the Month club pick. The Giver of Stars is about the Kentucky pack horse librarians who, through a grant during the Great Depression, brought books and reading materials to the more isolated regions of eastern Kentucky. The story centers on Alice, an Englishwoman who is wooed by a Kentuckian abroad and brought back to live with him and his […]
