#TomLake was an easy read but I’m grateful for that because I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know how it all ended, & boy was it worth it. It felt so real & brought up some raw emotions I didn’t expect. It’s entirely worth the journey, & I could easily see it become a series/movie someday.

The novel Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

Reading #TomLake on #LakeComo and it’s sublime (both the book and the view) #BookSky #Holiday

Such a beautifully quiet read. #tomlake #books #annpatchett

finished ✅ this book gave very summery vibes. It was slow paced but felt nice to listen to (audio by Meryl Streep) and read. There was nothing exciting going on just reminiscing and gentle. ⭐⭐⭐✨ #booksky #TomLake 🖋️📚 📚💙

a pair of silver Apple AirPods Max headphones next to a Kindle e-reader. The headphones are positioned on the left side of the frame, with the earcups facing to the right. On the right side of the frame, the Kindle is displaying the cover of the book "TOM LAKE" by Ann Patchett. The cover art features what looks like a field of daisies in black and white, with the title and author's name prominently displayed. The Kindle itself has a thin red or pink bezel around the screen. Both items are resting on a textured gray fabric surface which fills the background of the image.

#SomethingGood in these fire times:

Ann Patchett has become my newest favorite author. Read #BelCanto years ago and loved it. Have recently finished listening to #TheDutchHouse and #TomLake. Simply gorgeous writing. And Hanks' and Streep's narrations are... chef's kiss.

I would've been 283 on the local library's wait list for #TomLake by #AnnPatchett. Luckily my mom borrowed it from her senior center last month & I will actually be prepared for my in-person book club on Monday! Whew.
