Reading with Style discussion

I was looking over the tasks and I see that my Post 279 doesn't fit 10.4 Debuts. Not only was the author a man, but the original pub date was 1920. What was I thinking!

I can salvage the read with a loss of points.

Please move this to 15.1, 2nd round. Author, Aged. It will be out of order for that already claimed, but the last claim I had for Celebration of Styles was for an Aged author. I think that makes it no harm no foul.

I have changed my score in the above post to 1085.

Thank you Rosemary, for posting this book for this task in post 586, otherwise I would still have 6 hours of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue to listen to and I don't think I would have finished the season!

That's me done, thanks for a good season.

10.4 Debut

Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue

Well, nothing like getting in just under the wire! I’ve had this book for weeks, but I was hesitant to start it because I thought it would be depressing reading about a new immigrant (to the US) caught up in the Lehman Brothers collapse. However, it wasn’t depressing potentially because of Mbue’s deft hand writing the story. This book is so well written it is hard to believe it is a debut. The characters are well drawn and interesting, and the story flows and makes sense. Best of all is the writing; it wouldn’t surprise me if Mbue is also a poet. 4.5*
