Another thought provoking read from this author. If you‘ve liked her others you‘ll like this. Lots of feminist theory. Oh, and flies.

Took me a long time to get through this novel because of life.

I enjoyed it but did not absolutely love it. Packed with a lot of feminist themes to think about ðŸ‘ðŸ¾, it just didn‘t have the drive of Elena Knows. That one is hard to top and it‘s difficult not to make comparisons. Elena is still my favorite of the three I‘ve read so far.

If you like tidy endings, take a pass. ðŸ˜… Pineiro might be planning a trilogy or leaving the door open?

BarbaraBB Which three did you read? 3w

Tamra @BarbaraBB the tagged book, Elena Knows, and Little Luck. I probably should read All Yours, which apparently is the first book with the protagonist in Time of the Flies. (edited) 3w

BarbaraBB I just read All Yours and loved it. My favorite though is A Little Luck. You‘ve made me curious about Time of the Flies. 3w

Tamra @BarbaraBB I will have to get my hands on All Yours! 3w

BarbaraBB I think you‘ll love that one too 3w

#bookhaul

It‘s sale at my favorite bookstoreâ€¦ so I went a bit overboard and bought all of these ðŸ¤¦ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
In my defence: they were real cheap, except of course for the tagged book, which I couldn‘t ignore after @Tamra posting about it!

I hope I bought some good ones!

LeahBergen Nice haul! ðŸ‘ 2mo

squirrelbrain Oooh, great haul! 2mo

Deblovestoread ðŸ‘€ lovely stack! 2mo

sarahbarnes I can‘t wait to hear what you think of Time of the Flies! I‘m waiting for my library to get it in and I‘m on the list. And a new Everett, too! 2mo

sarahbarnes Oh and the Lacey - I‘ll be interested to see what you think of it! I liked it but not quite as much as her others. 2mo

Suet624 Oh my! I want so many of these! Great picks. 2mo

Tamra ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ I‘m reading it slowly - life intervenes. 2mo

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes The Everett is an older one but I couldn‘t resist it! 2mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 I bought the Lacey based on your review! 2mo

Suet624 Oh God. This had an outrageous concept. I hope you don‘t hate it. ðŸ˜© 2mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 Don‘t worry, it cost me about one euro so nothing much to lose ðŸ˜€ 2mo

My idea of Happy Hour. â˜ºï¸

I made a trip to the nursery today. The cashier mentioned mums when I expressed dismay at the nearly empty greenhouse. I hate the word and sight of mums in August - which I humorously explained to her. ðŸ˜ ðŸ˜¢ She got it. It‘s too much of a reminder that summer in the upper Midwest is woefully short.

Amor4Libros This book is so good! Did you read the prequel? 2mo

Tamra @Amor4Libros is there a prequel? What am I missing??? 2mo

Amor4Libros @Tamra Yes! It‘s called â€œTuyaâ€ (Yours). The time of the flies takes place 15 years after. It gives you the backstory of what happened that landed Inés in prison. Some people say it‘s not necessary to read it, but I feel it gives you a lot of context for this one. And it‘s also a great read! 2mo

What does this mean? â€˜â€¦‘ Pineiro uses it frequently in this book.

Ruthiella Long pauses of no talking maybe? ðŸ¤” 2mo

TEArificbooks Long pause in speech. Probably speaking with their facial expressions. 2mo

Tamra @Ruthiella @TEArificbooks yes! I thought that or perhaps omission of irrelevant speech/gestures/vocalizations. 2mo

Tamra @Pogue have you seen ellipses used this way before? It‘s new to me. (edited) 2mo

swynn @Tamra It's not common, but not exactly new either. The early 20th century novelist Ronald Firbank used to do this sort of thing, with characters speaking in ellipses and punctuation marks. I'm not sure whether he was the first. 2mo

Tamra @swynn thank you for the insight! 2mo

Pogue @Tamra yes, it is not very common but I have seen this before. 2mo
