Summer reading ideas or maybe a BYC book club.

Just started it today.....is this categorized as a young adult book?

It wasn't advertised that way. I think it could appeal to teens, but older people can relate to the time period and her story.

There is a fair amount of the f-bomb in there. I don't know if that matters in YA lit anymore.

True and the content is rather adult.

Time period definitely strikes a cord here, I was just a bit older in that era.

It was the verbiage that seems a bit 'juvenile' to me,
I suppose that's because the 'voice' is a 14yo.

Yup, that was my time too.

I was a l little younger, born right after Gerald Ford took office, but could still understand the cultural and music references, etc. Maybe not as well as you guys LOL. I'll see if I can find some book club questions for next month that we can discuss.

I may read it again.

Just finished Painting the Light by Sally Cabot Gunning.
I really enjoyed it.

Big Little Lies was good. I'd already watched the series, but there were some differences. Starting Painting the Light now.

Who is the author? I may see if the library has it when I go in today.

Liane Moriarty. Laura Dave was the The Last Thing He Told Me author. That one was really good too.

I liked the book. Reminded me of a grown up Ann of Green Gables. Starting the God of Jade and Shadows now and then Nine Perfect Strangers.

Anybody else reading Mary Jane and discussing on the other thread? I didn't know if we wanted to go ahead and discuss sooner than Aug 1.

Out of curiosity has anyone else on here finished the entire Anne of Green Gabled series?
