It reminds me of a book I got recently, 'How to be a Heroine' where the author reviews and reflects on reading classic works by women writers.<br /><br />I'm glad you're reading more than reviewing, I'm sure it's paying off xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-65684959962875551812015-02-01T01:12:25.052+00:002015-02-01T01:12:25.052+00:00I love all of Ann Patchett's books that I'...I love all of Ann Patchett's books that I've read, but I think I enjoy her nonfiction even more than her fiction. This is the Story of a Happy Marriage was excellent, and I frequently recommend Truth & Beauty, her memoir about her friendship with Lucy Grealy (who was the author of Autobiography of a Face.) She's incredibly talented and insightful.3goodratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352969901692029558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-31939323422848243872015-01-31T17:13:23.434+00:002015-01-31T17:13:23.434+00:00Glad I'm not the only one...Glad I'm not the only one...Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-81429882351058038092015-01-31T17:11:30.795+00:002015-01-31T17:11:30.795+00:00To be honest, I wish I had skimmed/skipped some of...To be honest, I wish I had skimmed/skipped some of the essays, as I would have enjoyed the book more, but I just can't bring myself to do it!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-24633239295556157092015-01-31T17:10:52.874+00:002015-01-31T17:10:52.874+00:00I'm looking forward to Bel Canto :)I'm looking forward to Bel Canto :)Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-8879655021035677732015-01-31T17:05:49.844+00:002015-01-31T17:05:49.844+00:00I've not heard of Run, although I am keen to t...I've not heard of Run, although I am keen to try her non-fiction book This is the Story of a Happy Marriage.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-56253119918842076632015-01-31T17:04:02.821+00:002015-01-31T17:04:02.821+00:00I'm really looking forward to Bel Canto, which...I'm really looking forward to Bel Canto, which I already own.

It's honestly dangerous going on your blog because I keep getting books I think I might like. I notice a lot of the books you pick up are ones I could potentially enjoy.
