Absolute eye candy. The art is so pretty, and every character is ridiculously gorgeous. I love the concept of painted magic. Unfortunately, the story is very much under-developed and the painting magic plays very little role. I'd give this a read because of the pretty art and story potential, but don't bring high expectations for the storytelling aspect. #lgbtqia #comics #astrology #UniqueMagic

PuddleJumper Impressive horns 2mo

Kenyazero @PuddleJumper they're removable, but I figured it still counts since one character didn't realize they were 🤭 2mo

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel | Olga Tokarczuk

pick

This quoteable little gem was philosophical, convincing, well-characterised, and eccentric. I truly appreciated it.

It did, however, take me far too long to finish. I struggled to stay focused. My mind just kept wandering.

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead | Olga Tokarczuk

This one is slow going. Good, and very quotable, but slow going.

90% sure I know where this one is going.

To the point where if what I think is going to happen DOESN'T happen I will be surprised, and possibly disappointed.

We shall see...

Pogue This book was so good. Let me know if you figured out the why. 4mo

DGRachel I loved this book so much. 4mo

Yuki_Onna I really enjoyed this one! I'm curious to hear what you think about it at the end! 4mo

Branwen This title is everything! 4mo

RaeLovesToRead @Pogue @DGRachel @Yuki_Onna Totally called this one 😋 Just saying 😉 4mo

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel | Olga Tokarczuk

pick

I had no idea what to expect when I started this. In fact, 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was foolishly thinking it was a short story collection. Kept seeing it on many Best Of lists and somehow grabbed a copy from a LFL or the Library sale, can‘t recall. I am starting to wonder if I should do more prep. I usually don‘t read/enjoy mystery/thrillers because then I start thinking they will be fast and twisty. This is NOT. This is definitely on the literary side and ⬇️

BkClubCare it took some time to get into. I needed more big blocks of uninterrupted time to finally get swept into it to appreciate. Which I do! Giving it high pick. Just stick with it and don‘t give up on ol‘ Mrs. Duszejko. 🦌🦴🚜❄️🌲🐕 (edited) 4mo

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel | Olga Tokarczuk

so-so

My reaction to this book is like a pendulum. It swings one way and I‘m excited by the writing, how Tokarczuk delivered the story almost obliquely, from the POV of Janina who, perhaps admirably, doesn‘t seem to waiver from her righteous (?) moral system. It swings the other way, and I‘m in awe that I finished the book, having found Janina mean and often unsympathetic and the “mystery” predictable. ⬇️

psalva Again it turns and I‘m reminded of how I was swept along by Janina‘s thought-provoking philosophical monologues. There was much I liked about this book in the end. I have a strong impulse to want to discuss it with others. It brings up many moral questions and paints a picture of a flawed and messy world. As I write this, it seems like the pendulum continues to swing toward the positive. Will gravity continue to function and change my mind? (edited) 5mo

Lindy This book has stuck with me too. I was totally charmed by cranky Janina. My overall reaction was much more positive than yours because I loved it wholeheartedly. 5mo

It was incredibly difficult to capture a shot of a plow while driving from Nebraska south back home to Kansas but I liked the photo composition of this farming implement and decided to use it anyway. Starting this now.

BarbaraBB Great photo and I hope and expect that you‘ll love the book! 5mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - thanks ☺️ 5mo
