The School For Good Mothers (Chan) & The Handmaid's Tale (Atwood) × The Project (Summers) in a debut that will haunt me for a long time... how quickly a person can earn power & leadership and let it lead to destruction. The Burning Season hit a bit close to home with a string of barn arsons in our not so distant community history. Very emotional read on many levels and would be a wonderful book club pick just to be able to discuss it all.

This slow burn was not worth it and 💯 lame. I hate it when the actions of an MC just don‘t make sense in their world.

Rosemary has joined a cult with her husband Paul. Why? I‘m still not sure. Guilt maybe because she‘s cheated several times and continues to be attracted to other men. He‘s trying hard to get her pregnant but knows shockingly little about women for a 30-some man. The cult has bizarre practices because yeah, but it‘s pretty boring.

Megabooks Two pans to close out July because I‘m really unlucky atm. Sigh. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3y

Cinfhen Another one I haven‘t heard of - when you read 300 books in a single year you‘re bound to get a few duds…here‘s to hoping your next book is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 3y
squirrelbrain Ugh - sorry you‘re reading some rubbish books. Just think of all the good you‘re doing though, so we don‘t have to read them! 3y
Megabooks @Kimberlone thank you! Lol! 😁😂 3y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB yeah, I‘ve definitely picked up a few books I haven‘t enjoyed. Such is life, unfortunately! 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen so true!! This wasn‘t as bad as Acts, but I didn‘t enjoy it either. 3y

TheLudicReader When the blurb on the front is referring to another book by the same author…never a good sign. 😂 3y

New release and I‘ve been listening to it all day. Seriously. If you liked Godshot or like books with religious extremism (Christian cult kind), you will love this.

Megabooks Sold! 3y
