Welcome to Litsy!

The Honey Farm is atmospheric and immediately creates a subtle, creeping sense of dread. I was fully immersed in the world and lives of the characters, and I absolutely needed to know how the book would end. The ending was a tad too abrupt in my opinion, although upon reflection, it really is one of the best ways it could have ended. While other reviewers felt lukewarm at best about this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is my May #bookspin pick

I‘m a little late posting this, but these are my first five books for the #bookspinbonanza! I can definitely get through these ones and any others I get to will be an added bonus 😊📚

#BookHaul I found an amazon gift card whilst clearing out a drawer.... so what to do but have a little Kindle shopping spree! 😉

Mediocre Litsy reviews on this one but it‘s on my Goodreads tbr.... Cynthia‘s bee farm is suffering from a drought so she transforms her home into an artists colony with free room & board in exchange for help. Two artists fall in love but the summer is filled with ominous events (lice, frogs, oh my!) that leave Cynthia feeling unsettled. Doesn‘t sound quite like a thriller but not a romance either. I‘m very curious....

Cynthia runs a farm in Canada where the honeybees are in danger due to drought. She invites artists to stay in exchange for working on the farm. Silvia is a young poet, Ibrahim is a painter, just two of the artists whose lives will change on the farm during increasily ominous events. While I found the metaphor and allegory to be heavy handed at times (literal plagues, artist colony, you get the picture), I was interested to the end.

This book had an interesting premise and good characters, but I was really disappointed in the way it ended. Audiobook narration was so-so. 3⭐️ Available on Hoopla.
