📖CURRENT READ📖 Well…it was a current read when I snapped the picture this morning. Since then, I’ve finished reading A History of Wild Places, by Shea Ernshaw. I seem to be drawn to books that incorporate the theme of storytelling - the power of stories to inspire or to control, to shape who we are and what we believe. When I logged my finished book in Goodreads, I noticed that it was 🎉BOOK 100🎉 for 2022! This is the most books I’ve ever read in one year. My goal was 75, a number that was a stretch two years ago. ❓What inspires you to read? Are there certain seasons where you find yourself with more time for books? Do challenges help drive you to read more? Or read different genres? #ahistoryofwildplaces #currentread #100booksinayear #100booksin2022 #goodreadsgoal #goodreadschallenge #readingchallenge #booksbooksbooks #dogsofinstagram #dogsandbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/ClG6w4sLTc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Research for a paper lead me to the HBO series (specifically episode 3) which I liked so much I got the novel. Annoyed I have to put it down to get to work.

Book Review: From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home, by Tembi Locke

My rating: 3.5 / 5 stars

Recommended for: Readers who enjoy memoirs, fans of stories with an Italian setting

Quick review: It’s a sweet story and I enjoyed the Italian/Sicilian setting, but it only gets a solid “meh” from me.

Full review: I'm having a difficult time pinpointing why this book was "only okay" for me. It's a lovely, sweet story about the author's journey through grief and healing after her husband, Saro, passes away. The author, Tembi Locke, writes about the three summers after her husband's death when she and her daughter traveled to her husband's home town in Sicily. Tembi and Saro's love story is so beautiful, and the relationship that Tembi strengthens with her Sicilian mother-in-law after Saro's passing is heartwarming. I'm currently learning to speak Italian, so I loved the Italian setting and the Italian language generously sprinkled throughout. I think I really would have liked this better if it were the same story but with fictional characters. As I review more books and get better at consciously recognizing what I do and don't like in a book, I'm realizing that my connection to the characters in a book is very important to me. I never really felt a strong connection with the author in this memoir; while her story was a deeply personal one, she still seemed guarded, like she was holding some deeper truth or emotion back. I realize it's extremely difficult to make yourself truly vulnerable about one of the hardest times of your life, which is why I think this would make a great fiction novel. It's easier to make a fictional character vulnerable than to display your own true vulnerability for the world.
