Centique
Elena Knows | Claudia Pieiro

Pickpick

Wow - this book 🙌 I was reading it thinking how sad and harrowing it was to be experiencing Elena‘s Parkinson‘s and her grief at her daughter‘s death. And then Pineiro knocks you out as both Elena and the reader‘s eyes are opened to the underlying truths - the story behind the story. This is the sort of novel where you dont realise how clever it is until the end.

Soubhiville What a cool and creepy photo! 2d
Centique @Soubhiville its a cool and creepy place! Theres a big old bunker down there too and they have a grand piano in there and recently had an event with a concert pianist. Apparently the acoustics are great. 2d
Soubhiville Oh I bet they are! I‘d attend that, I bet you can feel every note. 2d
Cathythoughts Great review and picture. Excellent book. 2d
Reggie You, Lindy, TrishB, and Cathythoughts gave it the thumbs up. If I hadn‘t already stacked it I would. And that photo is wonderfully creepy to me. 8h

The Adventures of China Iron | Gabriela Cabezn Cmara, Fiona J. Mackintosh

I'm sure this would have resonated a little more if I was more familiar with the Argentinian epic of Martin Fierro than just what I got from Wikipedia, but I think it stands on it's own very well. China Iron, or whatever name they're using at the time, is wonderful character. We're there for their coming of age and sexual awakening against the backdrop of the pampas.

What do the living owe the dead? How do we deal with victims of mass killings? Families need closure and people deserve to be buried/put to rest with their names in places their loved ones can visit. We are human because we have rituals to honor the dead. All of these topics come up while Hagerty describes her profession of handling bones in Argentina, uncovering mass graves of victims of the genocide there. Sobering work but important.

Somehow?? An Ali Hazelwood book was my favorite for the month. No one is more shocked than me, considering my personal vendetta agains her and her #steminist novels that are…just the same book. BUT I‘ll review that later. Four books (technically five if you count The Ritual 🤢). Pretty good start to the year!

Great reading month for January! I finished 19 books total & read almost all I set out to. I think weekly plane rides & trying to avoid media upped my reading time. Finished all 3 #Roll100 books, 3 from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac + #AuthorAMonth #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FoodandLit #ChloeGongReadalong #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #JaneAustenThenAndNow ⬇️

DebinHawaii … & #SeriesLove2025 & also had some library books sneak their way in. I enjoyed most everything I read (although I got a little heavy with Nazis/Fascists books for a month of political horror that was depressing but some lighter books pulled me out). Top 3 Favorites were Bad Cree, Lula Dean‘s Little Library of Banned Books & The Night Guest. (edited) 3w

Overall a decent month of reading for January. The final week I kinda hit a slight reading slump.
