bailedNope, not for me, I had to bail.
Couldn't enter into the story, didn't care about the characters.
There are too many other books I'm enthusiastic about for me to lose valuable time with one I don't connect to.
pickNot my usual Christmas fluff that I read this time of year but a wonderful historical fiction novel with a Christmas backdrop. Written in epistolary form, this story will have you cheering for the characters and reaching for the tissues!
pickE. Cidnosin witnesses strange, giant eel-like creatures and starts a correspondence with scholar Henerey Clel. This leads to investigating a mysterious structure and the pair‘s disappearance.
E.‘s sister Sophy and Henerey‘s brother Vyerin delve into their siblings‘ exchanged letters to find out what happened.
If you want something different, cozy with a good mystery, academia with some excitement, all told in letter format, this is for you.
Driveway and sidewalks are shoveled and it is now time to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book!
pickBeautifully poetic, but suffers from it also at times if you plan for a straightforward narrative. Of course this is about time travel, so the unwieldy structure fits and gives the reader a more impressionistic pallet from which the story bubbles up. Should come with a user recommendation to “best read in one sitting” to thoroughly enjoy.
pickDay two of my short story marathon, and I‘ve officially caught up. I am now seven books ahead of schedule in my reading goal. After tomorrow, I should have a nice cushion to get me through the month of December.
so-soI don‘t like YA because the drama feels a bit melodramatic. And while Dellaria did dial it back some from her YA roots, her first novel didn‘t hit a natural pitch. Plus, there are more young orphans than a Disney movie!
Annie and Juliette are best friends growing up in LA. When they separate for college, Juliette meets Noah. Years later Noah is trying to make it in Hollywood with his girlfriend Jesse. Their four lives colliding = devastation. ⬇️
Later on me and Charlie recited our Torah for him, but we did it the way Cab Calloway would, including the Hi-De Ho's.
This is such an intriguing book! I only knew it involved time ⏰ 🧳 and I am loving the epistolary back & forth. My only to-dos today, besides walk the CopperBop, is to finish this book and write ✍️ a few letters 💌📬

I am going to include these quotes; the first one to my friend in MS and the erosion one to my brother, the geologist. The third one made me laugh.
