Crow | Amy Spurway

Now that #BookSpin numbers are out, I can answer yesterday's #3books I plan to read this month:

Crow is my current read. A bit odd because I like the writing and I like the main character but it's just not grabbing me yet. I'm going to give it another 50 pages and see what happens.

Surfacing is my #BookSpin pick. Also #Quebec for #ReadCanada

Swan Song is my #DoubleSpin. I've got two with the same title so I'll go by mood!

FantasyChick I found Crow to be....different. Not bad but definitely a unique sort of read. 4y

MsMelissa I‘ve been curious about Crow. I don‘t really think it would be something I‘d like, but one never knows. I hope you like Surfacing. I‘m on the fence with Atwood. I loved The Handmaid‘s Tale and The Blind Assassin, but none of her other books really appeal to me. 4y

TheKidUpstairs @Book_Fiend_Melissa have you read Alias Grace? Seems right up your alley 4y

MsMelissa I tried several years back, and it didn‘t click. I‘ve kept it though as I expect I would like it. Just need to be in the right mood. I have Stone Mattress and The Penelopiad on a shelf. 4y

so-so

Ok so.....I have no idea how I feel about this. It started off slow for me but I really got the humour in it and the author has the CB feel down. But then.....holy depressing shit. Followed by way more WTF than I had ever pictured this book to have. I mean....just....wow.

Definitely not something I would have grabbed on my own but not horrible. Many moments were had in this journey

runswithscissors007 Never mind! I remember now! Looking forward to it! 4y

FantasyChick @runswithscissors007 We are going to have some overlap in the books with the two groupings. Not sure if we messed up the schedule or it just worked out that way 😂 4y

runswithscissors007 Haha! I can handle it! Keeps me focussed.😬 4y

About half way through and absolutely loving this book. The author really knows how to paint a picture of Cape Breton Island! I'm being told it's playtime now but I'mplanning to finish this tonight.

Yes... this is a shameless baby post. I'm not sorry 😂😂

Starting off #JoysofJune by finishing up some books that have been sitting unfinished. I've got my #LMPBC and #doublespin picks to start with and hopefully I can find something here that will fit a #ReadYourSign prompt 😊

Shemac77 My sister went to high school with Amy Spurway. And Crow is magnificent. She encapsulates Cape Breton perfectly. 5y

I loved the cover and thought the second half was much better and more big hearted than the first. It dragged quite a bit in places, but that could just be the big city in me. #lmpbc #groupx

ShelleyBooksie I look.forward to your comments in the book :) 5y

@runswithscissors007 , @BookishTrish , @FantasyChick - #lmbc - I can't wait to get your thoughts on this book! I really enjoyed this novel by first time author Amy Spurway. The characters are gritty and true maritimers- I felt like they could be around my neighbourhood kitchen table.

@FantasyChick @BookishTrish @runswithscissors007 - what are your thoughts on hardcovers? I know they can be more expensive to ship.

BookishTrish All of these look good! 😍 5y

runswithscissors007 All good! No worries. Getting excited! 5y

FantasyChick No problem with hardbacks at all and these all look great! The Sun Down Motel is actually one I've been excited to pick up! 5y

ShelleyBooksie Yay! 5y

3 ⭐⭐⭐ Good story although some of the sarcasm, trash talking, joint smoking, alcohol drinking, sex talking and doing all the time got a bit too much, too drawn out for me. 🤷 #CanLit

erzascarletbookgasm Yum! Indian cuisine? Love the look of the rice! 5y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @erzascarletbookgasm the rice looks it but it's actually not! It's spicy rice looks like Biryani. Which I also love. Was so delicious! Fattoush salad. Chicken shawarma and spicy rice. 5y

Beautiful! I went to the same high school as the author. Amy nails Cape Breton as only a Caper can. I was transported back to home by her writing. She made me homesick and immensely proud to be from that magnificent island.
