Book Discussion: Euphoria by Lily King
Hello readers. The book of this month is going to be Euphoria by Lily King. Now I not too long ago read Writers and Lovers by Lily King and completely you fell in love with it so I'm really looking forward to going back and reading this novel by her. I am sure it will not disappoint but we shall see if you have read any Lily King before. Please let me know if you've read Euphoria

Hey, you long time since we've talked books. I mean, I feel like completely out of the loop or something. No, I have not read the Writers and Lovers book, and I really want to read it. Tbr is just way too long. I don't even think I'm going to add it to the TBR. I'm like, just kind of like if it shows up, I'll do it kind of thing anyway. Yeah, I'm intrigued

So I'm finally catching up on Euphoria this week now that I have settled in my next location for the summer in Chicago, and I just wanted to share my favorite quote so far. It's on page 79. It reads, I am learning the chapter of them of their talk, the sound of their laughter, the cant of their heads. I can feel the relationships, the likes and dislikes in the room in a way I never could. If I could speak

And, yeah, it looks like you're having an absolutely fabulous time. I've been dealing with stuff and stuff with podcast and books and everything. One day it just felt so overwhelmed. So for past few days, I've been like, books. What's that podcast? What's that? It's funny, because I am like a chain audiobook listener. Like, I'll go from one audio to another to another to other

Hey, Shana, I was glad to hear that you are keeping busy as usual with books, books, books. I unfortunately won't be coming to St. Louis area anytime soon because I am heading back east in a couple of weeks for another wedding in New, New York. And then we'll be heading South West. But most likely we'll be taking a more Northern route so I can see some mountains and things like that on the way

The book also did lead me to reading a bunch more about Margaret Mead, who the books is loosely based off of her and who end up being her two ex husbands, actually. So I love you just thinking about all the possibilities of the fiction writer that you can take history and then run with it and completely reimagine. Maybe what would have happened just based on something that captivated your imagination. That was really, really interesting and fun for me with this book
