Book #14 in the Hidden Norfolk series. A good mystery in this one, and a few good beatings too (both physically and emotionally). There are a few repetitive themes, phrases, etc in the series but overall I can overlook them and just enjoy the story. I am worried for Tamera‘s job in the next one though. Some hints in this one are leading me down that path.

August 2024 Book #5 Elena Knows
My first novel by this author. Short but powerful novel. So intense, well written. It was amazing how the illness was described, I almost felt I was inside Elena‘s body, feeling her frustrations to command her body to react, to follow her instructions. Characters were masterly described, so much was said in a short novel. It was so sad the story of Elena. I was just captivated by this stor, by this written style 5⭐️

Gissy I‘m glad this book was translated to English language. I heard the same positive reaction amongst English readers about the story and translation.

July 2024 book #8

A group of friends and family members decided to camp and it seems that stories told around the 🔥came true next day. I recently read a book with a similar premise, very similar: The Telling by Alexandra Sirowy. But in Campfire, the stories are described in a graphic way, a slasher-ish story. The motive for the killings?...🤷🏽‍♀️2.8/3⭐️But I like the cover😳😂

DieAReader 🥳Great 2mo

😳Sorry, another unpopular opinion. Beautiful written but there is something missing for me in the story and in the ending🤷🏽‍♀️I wanted to love it after all those extraordinary reviews/ratings in GR and Litsy. Maybe I could give it another try in the future. 3⭐️

RaeLovesToRead I thought it was sweet enough, but I don't like short books that try too hard to make me feel stuff. Same with the tagged 3mo
Gissy @Prairiegirl_reading I wasn‘t the only one then 😅 3mo
Prairiegirl_reading @RaeLovesToRead this is totally how I feel about short books and feelings. 😂 3mo

#Book2Book members…. I found a few more!

All are paperback. #13-17 have no writing (or coloring😉) inside.

#18 was a #LMPBC book, so there is lots of writing inside - notes, comments, etc. 😎

KateReadsYA I'd like #13 3mo
TheBookHippie Oh 15! 3mo

Book #14 of 2024: “Snow in April” by Rosamunde Pilcher

I fell in love with Pilcher‘s writing in high school and this short little fiction was a reminder of why. Wholesome and old-fashioned, full of evocative imagery and sweet sentiments, I recommend this author to everyone ❤️
