My July, August, & September Reads

Quietly Hostile, Samantha Irby - These essays reminded me of Irby's first book, Meaty, which happens to be one of my favorite collections—hallelujah! Quietly Hostile is so so funny and occasionally disgusting; it's perfect.

Housekeeping, Marilynne Robinson - Some beautiful sentences, but overall it is too much of a bummer. It messed me up for a few days.

Scattered Showers, Rainbow Rowell - Words can't express how thrilled I am that Rainbow Rowell has a multi-book deal for brand new adult novels. I enjoy her YA as much as everyone else, but Attachments and Landline—her two adult novels—are so cozy/funny/wonderful. Also, I'm old! I want to read about fellow olds. This collection is a mix of YA and adult stories; she revisits characters from past books and introduces us to new characters as well. The standouts for me were the Covid lockdown love story, the Attachments story, and the mermaid fairy tale at the end.

Less Is Lost, Andrew Sean Greer - I'm not generally a fan of road trip novels, but I'm a huge fan of this author and his character, Arthur Less, so I gave it a chance and thank goodness for that! I laughed out loud over and over again. Fingers crossed for a third Less novel.

This Story Will Change: After the Happily Ever After, Elizabeth Crane - I took this with me on a milestone birthday/anniversary trip to Mexico, and it was the ideal vacation read—I was riveted by the drama. Whew!

The Last Picture Show, Larry McMurtry - My first Larry McMurtry book and now I have to read all of them, because this one is a masterpiece. It's devastating but it also has some laughs, and by the end I fully believed the characters were real. If you read this based on my recommendation and don't like it......I simply don't care and you don't need to tell me!

Because of Winn-Dixie, Kate DiCamillo - This was on the shelves at my Airbnb in Guanajuato, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to re-read it on what must be one of the world's most beautiful balconies. Kate DiCamillo, thank you, you goddess.

We're gonna be doing a book club at work, and our first book is Because of Winn-Dixie and so I was rereading it, and it did make me cry even though I'm 30 years old

I still don't think anything I've ever read has touched me as much as anything Kate DeCamillo has written

Not saying that every Kate DiCamillo book makes me cry, but The Tale of Despereaux? Because of Winn-Dixie? The Tiger Rising? The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane? Quite a big coincidence.

when Kate DiCamillo wrote "The world is dark and light is precious; come closer, dear Reader, you must trust me. I am telling you a story," and "Tell me a story. Make some light," and when Peter S. Beagle wrote "As for you and your heart and the things you said and didn't say, she will remember them all when men are fairytales in books written by rabbits," and when Andrew Peterson wrote "The winter is whispering 'Green and gold,' and the heart is whispering too; it's a story the Maker has always told and the story, my child, is true."

#thinking about how kate's two best known novels are about the redemptive hopeful act of telling stories #because of winn-dixie's entire framework is built around india opal telling her own story #and around the stories that other people tell her. the preacher. otis. gloria. winn-dixie with his pathological fear of thunder. #the whole of the story is about people's stories #also relevant i feel like is the entire segment of les miserables dedicated to french poormen's slang??? #anyway i can't think of any winndixie quotes off the top of my head that fit into this but i CANNOT stop thinking about it #Lu rambles #words #kate dicamillo #the tale of despereaux #peter s beagle #the last unicorn #andrew peterson #the wingfeather saga #web weaving #kind of??

The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket—and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar. Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship—and forgiveness—can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.
