Thank you so much for this lovely gift, Megan! @TheKidUpstairs ☺️
I bet you thought it was lost in the post, didn‘t you? It looks like you posted it in September! 🤨
I‘m glad you like it so much and that makes me look forward to reading it even more! ❤️
pickThere's no way I'm going to do this book justice in attempting to explain why it should be read.
This isn't about the quality of the writing, though it's staggering to recognize a young woman wrote this and conveyed such a strong feeling of being present at the moments of growing up, those early years of childhood innocence and joy, considering everything that came after, the brief moments of pure storytelling relaying family foibles, 1/?
“Dreams are so important in one's life, yet when followed blindly they can lead to the disintegration of one's soul.“ 💔
pickThe Hidden Keys (Quincunx 3/4), by André Alexis (2016 ??)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?
Premise: A thief is drawn into a series of heists intended to solve a puzzle about gifts given by an eccentric billionaire to his grown children.
Review: This wasn‘t at all what I was expecting it to be. It‘s a fun heist story with a satisfying mystery.⬇️
pickI wish more had happened in this book. The characters were interesting, but the story just kind of wandered. Low pick.
