Historia
Set in the 19th century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White and Sarah Dowling, whose romantic bond does not sit well with their puritanical New England community. In addition to being an inspiring love story, the audiobook for Patience and Sarah is an ideal listen for young-adult audiences. It is a story that shows how irrelevant race, religion, and gender are to love and that loving and being loved are what keep us human and sane.

I didn't want it to end!

I've been reading a lot of disappointing books lately, so this was a wonderful change of pace. It's well-written and a very good read. The characters are endearing and I liked the mellow pacing of the story. I just wish the author had given us more! I want to know what happens next!

Historia
Michigan. To tens of thousands of womyn from around the globe, the word meant not a state in the upper Midwest of the U.S., but a state of mind, a state of freedom. A culture, a community, a revolution. The Land. From 1976 to 2015, the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival was home ground for the lesbian feminist movement. There we strove to embody the principles of matriarchal feminism and bring that wisdom to life in every aspect of the town we created, and the values that guided our lives together.

Couldn't put it down!

Even though I didn't go to Michfest, I absolutely loved this book. Lisa is a great storyteller and learning about how they started THE iconic women's music festival that lasted 40 years, along with the triumphs and hardships along the way was fascinating. I was at an event on womyn's land and still managed to listen to the whole book in two days.

Historia
Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Scratch the surface and look closer. One is lonely, one is desperate and one of them is a killer. When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear...and it all leads back to a book club.

Petty women, ugh
Revisado: 10-03-23
Do women actually spend time in person each week with women they don't like? Certainly no women I know do this. The characters were distasteful, petty, and just awful. Their interactions forced and unbelievable. The writing was barely tolerable.
What should have been a fun read for book club ended up being a chore that most members couldn't even finish.

Historia
Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society - she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her. But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.

Quirky story and mostly good narration
Revisado: 02-23-22
Just discussed this book with my book group and I was the only one who liked it at all. Most found it confusing, not sure if they were in Louiseville or NYC, not being able to keep track of what was going on, and distracted by the magic.
The story could have been smoother for sure, and I think it helped that I listened to The Great Gatsby immediately prior.
The thing that was most distracting to me was the narrator's inability to pronounce the word "library" in a book that used the word multiple times.
