the swans of fifth avenue sounds like a perfect summer read, ill have to check it out

i meant to read Wild Swans for a previous challenge but I didn't finish before it had to go back to the library. I might try it again now

Swans of Fifth Avenue is written from an extremely acidic and toxic place. It's fun and gossipy and knows it's stuff. But some of it cannot be verifiable and is the imagination of the writer, which I always find irritating in non-fiction.
Just a caveat.

to be fair, it's stamped as a novel, not nonfiction

[gloeden2]

Point taken, my bad.

shoutout to everyone who's already fallen off the rails with their 2022 reading challenges, I dropped it cram general knowledge for trivia competition purposes (but I still want to finish the challenge, even if I dip into 2023)

anyone have a recommendation for a book set in a bookstore? I don't feel like finishing the book I had for that prompt (The Sentence, a book that started in a very different place from where I left off)

I was JUST hearing someone talk about The Bees and what a fascinating reading experience it was. It sounds interesting but I don't know if I can do it. I have a couple books on my list that match so I'll see!
