This was a quick, pretty entertaining book for me. It is set in a sorority at Ole Miss and while I did not go to Ole Miss I am from Mississippi and was in a sorority at a different college. I think some of it was a bit over the top but it did highlight the craziness that sorority recruitment is, the race and class struggles we still have, but also the benefits of finding a group of people to spend time with who will support you and stand up for you. And if you find the right sorority for you it can be a lifelong reward! #rush #olemiss #sororitylife #summerbooks #southerngirls #fightforrights #bookstagram #bookworm #booksofinstagram
Class Mom by Laurie Gelman - a very funny book! As a former class mom many times as well as PTO President, this book had me laughing out loud at times and wishing I had thought of putting “response times will be noted” in my emails!😂 This is a very light quick read and if you have any experience with class momdom I think you will be nodding your head knowingly many times. Gelman uses her own experiences to tell the story of class mom Jennifer Dixon, a mom who has 2 girls in college and a son starting kindergarten! It reminded me of what a different parent I was with each of my children as perspective (and maybe a bit of tiredness😜) took over! Hopefully I’ll get to the sequel - You’ve Been Volunteered -very soon! It’s out in a couple of weeks!! #classmom #pto #summerreading #funnyfiction #bookstagram #bookblogger #whattoreadnext
I finished A Well-Behaved Woman by Therese Anne Fowler and really enjoyed it! It is historical/biographical fiction but so informative. I really had no idea of the influence Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont had on the women’s movement and while this book only covered her time right up to when she really started outwardly fighting for women’s rights, it does a great job portraying how she got to the point that she would speak out. It is a reminder that sometimes we can get our point across by actions and sometimes we have to speak loudly but either way many women have, for years, been paving a path for other women and Alva was one of those amazing women! #awellbehavedwoman #biographicalfiction #historicalfiction #bookstagram #booksharks #kolachekkub #alvavanderbilt #womenempowerment #womenssuffrage #nationalwomensparty #19thamendment
I’m very happy to be back after an unplanned but needed hiatus and what a week it has been! My book club chose two books to read during our summer break - Lying in Wait by Liz Nugent and A Well Behaved Woman (A Novel of the Vanderbilts) by Therese Anne Fowler. I chose to start with The Vanderbilt’s and it is so good so far AND Vanderbilt, my alma mater, won the College World Series this week! Coincidence?!?! 😀 Shout out to the ‘Dores and if you’ve read either of these books, what did you think? #cws #vanderbilt #awellbehavedwoman #lyinginwait #imback #summerreading #anchordown #bookstagram #booksharks #liznugent
Fun day today at the Nutcracker Market Spring Spectacular! Picked up a couple more sleeves of “832” cups -now I just need to write “Book Review” in sharpie underneath each one to advertise😜. #nutcrackerspringspectacular #houston #thewritedesignco #noreadingtoday #gocups #nutcrackermarket @832bookreview
Chanel Cleeton has done it again! I absolutely loved her first book - Next Year in Havana - and this follow-up does not disappoint! When We Left Cuba focuses on Elisa's strong-willed sister Beatriz once the family has left Cuba for South Florida. I loved her first book for the history of the island and for teaching me about life in Cuba. This book focuses on the early years of Castro's rule as seen by exiles and on the Cubans in American who want to do something about it. If Cuba, or Fidel Castro, or espionage interest you then this is right up your alley! It is published by Penguin Random House and Berkley Publishing Group and goes on sale tomorrow! Happy Reading! @chanelcleeton @penguinbooks @berkleypub #whenweleftcuba #cuba #nextyearinhavana #espionage #1960s #bookstagram #bookblogger #tbr #whattoread
