pick#Women‘s Prize Long & Short List
The books I have read from the long list for the Women‘s Prize have been so hard to read, so dark, sad.
This one is a family drama/coming of age story, narrated in two time lines. Every main character has a dark side in terms that they are not who they project to others, they have secrets, they are full of lies, hurting others. There are some triggers here: suicide, sexual abuse. Some parts are so sad😢⬇️
pickSecond in the new bunch of Munsch. Definitely not as intricate a story as his early stories, but it's still super cute. #19-2024.
panA very jacked up book that I wish I wouldn‘t have picked up. It‘s one of the most sick and twisted books I‘ve ever read and I‘m going to need a break from anything even close to dark, psychological thrillers, or anything even remotely close. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, human trafficking, sexual assault of a teen, descriptive torture, all around fucked-upness in the worst way. How can someone even write like this?! Book #19 2024
so-soHorrible cover😝This is book 2 in the Emry Merlín, a retelling. Not much to say without spoil book 1. In some parts, the story was okay, funny and the romances cute, at YA style. However, this a modality with YA trilogies, no need to have 3 books at all. There is a third book coming this year and I bet that these two last books could end the story in just one book. Why? why are they dragging the stories?🤦🏽♀️3⭐️and I think I‘m giving too many
#TBRtarot : Book that starts with “You.“
I'm glad I didn't look at the reviews, since this book seems generally hated and I thought it was very good. It's an opposite-attract YA romance -- privileged, politically active city girl and cynical small town boy -- but both have serious problems and they learn so much from each other. So an excellent mix of both romance and coming of age; perhaps readers who just wanted romance weren't into that.
pick4.2⭐️ I got to admit… This book was better than I thought I was going to be. What‘s crazy is I could not figure it out at all, yet I felt like I knew exactly what was going on. However, I‘m still confused on what was real and what wasn‘t. It was good. I liked it. This was book #19 for #Roll100
A 1963 small hardback by Whitman, illustrated by Carol Munshi. The illustrations are primarily bright and kooky!
