Twenty-fifth challenge finish of the year.
Dual timeline. I could have done without the current day one. It was a just a romance story, and not a great one. But the past timeline was about Johanna Van Gogh Bonger, the wife of Vincent Van Gogh's brother Theo. It was beautifully written and seemed to be well researched. I gave it three stars only because I've about reached the end of my patience with dual timeline stories.
And I'm about a third of the way through this one currently. Love Louise Erdrich.
Good for you! I've got to do less scrolling, more reading!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. The scrolling is hard to get away from!
DeleteI agree with you about dual timelines but it has me wondering how long different plot “affectations” tend to last. The shortest one I can think of was the text messages/emails one.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, I read a text/email novel quite awhile back...maybe for another challenge! LOL
DeleteI am determined to finish the current book I am reading TONIGHT. Then I pick something more interesting!
ReplyDeleteI am reading two at the moment. The Mighty Red (above) is good. The other one is called The Ministry For the Future, a novel about climate change. I bought it in 2022, I started it in 2024, and I AM finishing it this year! I read a chapter or two each morning, then read other choices the rest of the day. SO many words!
