The Sunday List of Dreams

Interesting but not what I was expecting! Upon her retirement as a nurse, Connie starts cleaning out her basement in preparation to selling her house and moving into a condo. As she attacks one daughter's stored junk, the truth about her current life jumps out - her daughter owns a thriving sex-toy store in Manhattan! From that point, Connie's life veers dramatically from the expected following of careful lists of hopes and dreams into a unexplored feminist vista of growth.

This was a fine, light read. I read it in the final months of writing a PhD, when I needed some entertaining, nontaxing, fun books to read.

It actually was somewhat inspirational to me, too, hokey as it was. Doing a PhD is a super-intense project and it's easy to forget why you're doing it. It just becomes torture after a while. This book helped me to lift my head up a bit higher and reignited the "dream" motivation behind my PhD.

I agree with other reviewers that the writing isn't the best. But it wasn't bad enough to make me put the book aside.

This book introduced me to the wonderful world of Kris Radish and I've been collecting and reading ever since. This wonderful story about the relationship between mothers and daughters is delightful and surprising. It's about discovering yourself at any age and that changes are good as well as scary.

I liked this book, but hated the feminazi undertones. I agree with women friendships being one of the best things on earth, I agree that women should take control of their own sexuality, but I completely disagree with the idea of some sort of feminine utopia. Loved the characters and the story, really dislike the hidden (or not so hidden) message.

Not my usual fare, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to books in English at book exchanges. I read this on a 6ish hour journey to the south of Paraguay, entertaining enough, but nothing great.
A nurse, mother of 3 and grandmother finally gets round to ticking things of her to-do list.

Een zeer matig boek, een soort chicklit voor oudere vrouwen. De stijl sprak me niet aan. Anderen hier vonden het boek anti-man; dat zag ik er niet zo in. Wel uitgelezen, maar ik ben nu wel toe aan iets anders. Beetje te moralistisch.

Smutty and trashy! :) I LOVED it! VERY funny and sexy.
