i like the way ann patchett writes and thinks, and i like the way she depicts her friends and family and life, so this book of autobiographical essays worked for me.
but it would have been worth it for the dutch house behind the scenes alone.
bottom line: dutch house fans unite!
--------------------
pre-review
at first i thought i couldn't get into this book, but now i think maybe i was just savoring it.
review to come / 3.5 stars
--------------------
currently-reading updates
accidentally bought a large print edition of this and i have just one question: why isn't every book a large print edition
--------------------
tbr review
nothing i need in this life except ann patchett writing about how lovely it is

I have no idea why, but something about reading large print books makes my eyes hurt.

How do you accidentally buy a large print edition? Every time I see them in a bookstore I fall in love, but they're just so much more expensive than the normal editions that all I can do is cry and try (&fail) to move in. Point is, I think I'd notice from the ridiculous price xD
the dutch house 🔥 did you listen to the tom hanks narration? it was *chef's kiss*

I’m about to start it too for your book club! And waiting for Conversations on love discussion.
Currently reading this! I have the same exact thought that I feel like I'm struggling to get into it.
Have you tried the app Fable? It’s the best thing to happen to book clubs since the invention of libraries (its an app of book clubs). Might be cool to add the dinner party to it.
reading this now! her essay about Charles strobel was moving
I use to find large print books irritating, now I request them at the library. Things have changed with age.

I don't understand your rating of 3.5 if you seem to have loved it??
