pickOne of Nothomb's more decent books, that actually comes with the promised Happy End (no spoiler, duh). It is totally Amelie Nothomb on one hand, on the other hand it's not. It's less dark, less gruesome. It comes with the usual noteworthy characters, with situations that won't happen unless Nothomb writes them. For her, this is a really happy book.
pickThis is an extensive compilation of the history of mirrors with humanity, spanning centuries and millennia. It is A LOT of information. Very interesting! Love them or hate them, mirrors have quite the history—and it‘s still growing.
panI‘m disappointed that this didn‘t work better for me. It started pretty strong, but got really repetitive and dragged much longer than necessary.
The premise was interesting, and I loved the dark fairy tale feeling. Unfortunately it doesn‘t come close to Bunny for me though. Not sure if I‘ll read her new book, right now I‘m leaning towards no.
so-so3✨ This is a concept that I never fully understood. Trying to look your best so much that your life revolves around chasing the fountain of youth. The fantasy element and time jumping had me a little lost, but our narrator was confused too. The ending had me scratching my head, but overall a nail biting story. #HTBookClub
Didn‘t read this one first but it was one I saw on Netflix that looked interesting #BookToScreen
pick3.7⭐️ I have to admit, this book is nowhere near as good as Bunny… but that doesn‘t change the fact that it was still good. It left me intrigue me confused, asking 1 million questions. And then when it answered one, it gave me 50 more. But it ask the question what are you willing to lose for your most perfect self? I can give you a therapeutic answer, but honestly, I just really enjoyed the read. #HometownBookClub.
pickI have to admit that I did not know who Emily Ratajkowski was when I chose this book. She is brutally honest about her body, her life. This book left me feeling that she still has some work to do to get to a place of self love, but then don‘t we all? I think I like her, though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WTF RIP🥲
