GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.

My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend against it, because it might speak to someone else.

Good collection

I have no idea how accurate the portrayals are, but it seems like all the authors were writing stories using their own culture, so I'm hoping that the representations were accurate.

As with any collection of stories, some spoke to me more than others. I did like the overall framing of the drive-in as a place. It allowed for characters from one story to make an appearance in another story, and I enjoy that when it works well and doesn't feel forced.

finished reading The other Bennet sister : a novel by Janice Hadlow

Janice Hadlow: The other Bennet sister : a novel (Hardcover, 2020, Henry Holt and Company) No rating

A bit disappointing for me. Some parts were very good, while others seemed to drag. I really wish that the author hadn't included Caroline Bingley from Pride & Prejudice. She is just too easy a target as the bad guy.
