![]() ![]() ![]() For starters, any book about books is a green flag for me. I was actually especially stoked for this novel, not for the premise but for the meta tropes. But I couldn’t relate to the sister dynamics, or the New York loyalties, that were so integral to the plot. Goodreads reviewers share the same attitude, with reviews for Book Lovers higher than her previous two contemporary romances.īook Lovers, while still featuring elements of romance, was focused more on themes ranging from family dynamics to career opportunities, and felt like more of a shift from Henry’s previous novels. Friends with whom I normally share similar book opinions found the novel to be their favorite of Henry’s yet. ![]() I’ve learned that I hold an unpopular opinion regarding this novel. As Emily Henry’s previous two popular books, Beach Read and People We Meet On Vacation, were total hits, fans’ expectations were even higher for her most recent work, released on May 3rd. This is likely due to the sheer amount of hype for this novel. It just wasn’t as wonderful as I anticipated, and I was disappointed. ĭon’t get me wrong, it was still a great read and one I devoured in a sitting.īut I wasn’t hooked from the first few chapters, and wasn’t as enthralled even after as I usually am. It is my displeasure to admit that I did not love the most recent and highly anticipated of Emily Henry’s three romance novels, Book Lovers. ![]()

Proulx told the Paris Review she is regularly sent rewrites of her original story “including all kinds of boyfriends and new lovers and so forth after Jack is killed”.

In thinking and walking we are thinking with the presence of our moving bodies in given surroundings. Here ‘walking’ does not solely refer to being on foot – although it does retain the “slow” pace of this embodied movement. In this blog I wish to highlight the simultaneity of walking, thinking and their relation to the notion of making way – three things one might consider to be inherent to education. Hence the ‘al andar’ translation of ‘by walking’. ![]() For Spanish speakers “We make the road by walking” evokes the line ‘ se hace camino al andar‘ in Antonio Machado’s poem or in Joan Manuel Serrat’s song. ‘Al andar’ can be translated from Spanish as ‘by walking’ as in “We make the road by walking”, a book that records a conversation about education between Paulo Freire and Richard Horton, two prominent thinkers of education and social change. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments Block shot by kennedy ryan![]() I understand many of the phrases in BLOCK SHOT could be translated in various ways depending on the Spanish-speaking people group and geography.
