My Year of Ann Patchett: book # 1⁣
⁣
One of my goals for this year is to focus on one author and read their entire catalog. This year I chose Ann Patchett! I’ve loved The Dutch House, These Precious Things and Tom Lake so I want to read all her previous work because I bet they’re fantastic! I’m starting this month with her first novel The Patron Saint of Liars. ⁣
⁣
Synopsis:⁣
⁣
St. Elizabeth’s, a home for unwed mothers in Habit, Kentucky, usually harbors its residents for only a little while. Not so Rose Clinton, a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes to the home pregnant but not unwed, and stays. She plans to give up her child, thinking she cannot be the mother it needs. But when Cecilia is born, Rose makes a place for herself and her daughter amid St. Elizabeth’s extended family of nuns and an ever-changing collection of pregnant teenage girls. Rose’s past won’t be kept away, though, even by St. Elizabeth’s; she cannot remain untouched by what she has left behind, even as she cannot change who she has become in the leaving⁣

Four Thousand Weeks Review 📖 ⁣
⁣
“Productivity is a trap. Becoming more efficient just makes you more rushed, and trying to clear decks simply makes them fill up again faster”⁣
⁣
Rating: 3.5 ⭐️ ⁣
⁣
I enjoyed this book. I think it is insightful and thought provoking. I started by listening to the audiobook (it’s short and it’s on Hoopla) and I was captivated by it. However, I quickly realized this isn’t a book you should listen to. It works best in physical format so that you can go back to sections you found helpful and so that you can annotate. However, I switched to the physical format and then I was a little bored 😂 ⁣
⁣
This book is not a manual of how to improve time management, it doesn’t give much “tips” per se it is more about opening our eyes to the reality that you won’t get it all done. Hence, the target audience is people who’ve already tried some time management techniques and it’s still overwhelmed by it all. It’s more about reframing your mindset about time than to actually tell you what to do with time if that makes sense. ⁣
⁣
I actually think this book could have been longer and it left me wanting a little more so that is why my rating is 3.5 stars. It’s still a really good book, very insightful and I recommend it!⁣

📖 ✨ First Lie Wins Review⁣ ⁣ Rating: 4.5

📖 ✨ First Lie Wins Review⁣
⁣
Rating: 4.5 ⭐️ ⁣
⁣
“There’s an old saying: The first lie wins. It’s not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game. The one that is deliberate. The lie that sets the stage for everything that comes after it. And once the lie is told, it’s what most people believe to be true. The first lie has to be the strongest. The most important. The one that has to be told.”⁣
⁣
This book is FUN! That is the best way to describe my experience reading this book. Is it the best book I’ve ever read? No. Is it the twistiest thriller I’ve ever read? No. But it was very entertaining and I was hooked from the beginning. It was addictive, twisty and enjoyable. ⁣
⁣
This book is THE book of January 2024. There’s always hyped books each month but this one definitely stands out this month (it was a BOTM pick, a Reese’s Book Club pick and @jordys.book.club pick) and I think the hype is real. I think people are having fun reading this book and shouldn’t reading be fun? ⁣
⁣
This book is set all over the south and I loved hearing references of places I know, there’s some Atlanta, a lot of North Carolina (hey Raleigh!) and Louisiana. I enjoyed the way it was written with flashbacks to the past and you really don’t know what’s going on at times but that’s what kept me engaged, I needed to know what happened. The main character Evie is someone you root for from the beginning even though you don’t know much about her. I liked that everything we learned about her past was for a reason and tied into the present time timeline. ⁣
⁣
I alternated between the audiobook and the physical format and I enjoyed both! However, if I had to choose one I’d choose physical because there are a lot of time jumps and characters so it may be easier to follow. Overall this was a great thriller, it wasn’t a 5 star because I would have wanted a little more “showing” and less “telling” at the end. ⁣
