Possession | A. S. Byatt

Byatt incorporates multiple types of documents to create a dual timeline of love and secrets. It‘s a very detailed read, and I think at some point I will have to reread this to fully intake the multiple layers. The ending is spellbinding, a perfect conclusion to a story rich in interweaving details. So glad I finally read this! #ByattBuddyRead #192025 #1990. #52BookClub24 #NominatedForTheBookerPrize

kspenmoll I am almost finished! It‘s been in my shelf for years & I doubt I would get to it without this buddy read. Love your review! 4mo
Graywacke Glad you enjoyed (and are ready to read it again!) 4mo
Librarybelle Thanks for leading the discussions, @Graywacke ! 4mo
Graywacke @Librarybelle thanks for joining 🙂 4mo
Hooked_on_books I feel like a good ending is the marker of a really good writer. Too many books don‘t have a good ending, and I love it when it‘s well done. I‘ve never read her, which I should probably rethink! 4mo
Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books So true…an ending could help or ruin a book! 4mo
CaramelLunacy I came to this one after seeing the movie (Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle were perfect as the Victorian poets). 4mo
Librarybelle @CaramelLunacy I plan to rewatch the movie soon! I saw the movie years ago, and it would be interesting to see it again after reading the book. 4mo
Crazeedi I have had this a long time but have not read! 3mo
Librarybelle @Crazeedi I‘m glad I finally read it! 3mo
Crazeedi @Librarybelle I'm going to move up 3mo

A short mystery set in an Order of the Daughters of Compassion convent. Sister Joan is sent to investigate when her Prioress receives a cryptic message from another convent.

Here‘s the link for the song from a band called Lemon Demon who I did not know

BarbaraBB I am always googling if a book title matches a song one 😀 8mo

Set during the lead up to the summer vacation of 1937 and the end of the summer of 1938. Meet the Cazalets: the Brig and the Dutch, their children and their children‘s souses and grandchildren. The entire family spends the summer together

You really notice what a year does in society, in the conversation and in the grandchildren

Loved this book! It was funny and eye-opening, describing species that are near extinction and the heroic efforts to save them.

While visiting the Museum of Natural History in Oxford a couple of days ago, I saw an exhibit on the kakapo, one of the animals featured in the book!

I‘m finishing off the #20in4 readathon at 8 hours and 15 minutes. Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting!

Part 2: #Amazon #Bookhaul

Published in #1990 by prolific #sci-fi #fantasy author #PiersAnthony known for his #Xanth Series. Used to own a copy, but lost nearly half my collection in house #fire in 2015.

If you like smart, yet graphic horror I highly recommend.

NOTE: includes graphic descriptions of Gore and sex

madamereadsalot1 I didn't know he wrote horror!!!! I LOVE Xanth! I have to get this! 6y
bookcollecter Yes! He is very prolific....nearly 200 novels/novellas I believe. He has some other great horror series as well like the #incarnationsofimmortality series. 6y
madamereadsalot1 I bought the first one in the incarnations series. Haven't read it yet. I'm so bad about being all over the place with my reading. 😅 6y
bookcollecter I know the feeling 😉 I'm usually reading like ten different books at a time...just plain 🥜🥜🥜 lol 6y

I enjoyed the #duckquotes and the #Queen references, but it's not going to be in a top 5 books for either author.
