pickA gothic tale of a young orphan sent to live in the countryside with a woman her extended family doesn‘t trust. It was a quick, intriguing read consisting mostly of diary entries by 13 year old Maude in 1876. I enjoyed most of it but didn‘t really like the ending.

pickA fast engaging read. Not sure how I feel about the ending.
Can‘t wait to pick my Aardvark November book.
so-soThis was a slow burn, gothic tale about a young girl facing a new life, with a feminist (gasp), when her parents pass. There are sinister undertones that eventually lead to a sudden plot development; yet after lots of lead up, none of it was very satisfying. It wants to be a haunting book, but the only haunting part of this story is its lack of resolution. #aardvark
Really pleased with the first Aardvark Book Club box! Due to the delays, everyone got a free extra book, so in addition to my choice (tagged ⬆️), I also got The Marsh Queen. I have an unboxing video over on my Instagram, if you‘re interested. (Megabooksreads) 🎉📚
It‘s here!!! #aardvarkbookclub
The first ever box, so excited to be a member.
I was waiting to see what BOTM chose this month before I decided whether to try Aardvark. I was tempted by Sign Here from BOTM, but ultimately decided to get in on the ground floor of Aardvark with this gothic tale!
Wellllllll....I did it!
I signed up for #Aardvark book club to give it a try!!
They got me with a Gothic pick 👀 I'm intrigued..
Can't wait to get my pretty box in the mail and see if they send any additional goodies! 🙃
pickWhen a widow inherits a house from her late husband's Aunt Maude she is happy to have a space in which to raise her son. She can't understand her father-in-law's refusal to see it as option. Her first night in the house she finds a diary started by young Maude that may hold the answers. A story that grabbed me with the sinister seeming house and tale spun by Maude of a girl facing great loss. But is she a reliable narrator? Very much enjoyed this.
