March 2025 Book #4
I really enjoyed this book about two families and the matriarchal way to raise their families. So different. During my reading I was mad with Mrs Willoughby and more in the side of Mrs. Fowler. But then you follow each family, their sons and daughters through their lives and you will understand each side of the story. This is really a story about family dynamics and each and changes in each generation. So well written and⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) so well described. Loved it. 4.5⭐️
I‘m late @Leahbergen in my #PersephoneClub2025 and 2024😂But I will read them eventually because I‘m enjoying each book so much. And…I love my Persephone editions.😍

rubyslippersreads I‘m glad I‘m not the only one who‘s behind. Somehow I completely missed reading October‘s #PersephoneClub book. 🫢 24h
Gissy @rubyslippersreads I‘m currently reading a book from last year list Harriet. I eventually will read them but I‘m a slow reader and I wanted to read so many books from different challenges that I know I will be behind from the rest of the group☹️But I can‘t read faster😫 23h

March 2025 Book 2 A re-read for me but I only read the first 2 books. Now I‘m planning to finish the series, obviously, next year 😂It was enjoyable to go back to this world and I could say I enjoyed more the story now than the first time. Looking forward to see the dynamic of this “romance?” triangle. We know things will drastically change in the next books. I have the first edition cover and this new hardcover edition🤦🏽‍♀️book collector⬇️3.8⭐️

This book was as beautiful as its book jacket. The process of nature's cycles and the imperfections of our lives combine for an engaging look at the human condition: mistakes-suffering-forgiveness and the gentle art of always moving forward. Sometimes that means reconciling with the unresolved…

TheBookgeekFrau That cover reminds me of the work of an artist local to Colorado Springs (just don't ask me her name 😅) 4d

“The measure of us isn‘t in the day-to-day. And it‘s not in our past or our future. It‘s in the fundamental changes we make within ourselves over a lifetime.”

This conclusion to the Jaipur Trilogy was so satisfying. Really enjoyed this series💜

I'm not a fan.

The snobbery, constant gossip and battle of egos just rubbed me the wrong way.

I only finished the book, because I was curious about who Rachel's dad was, and even that was a bit of a disappointment

Carmilla | J Sheridan Lefanu

4½✨
My newly discovered love for all things with teeth and a lust for blood; has me searching out Vampire Lore in any form, shape or size.

Carmilla is a short, very engaging tale, with just the right amount of dark gothic horror and innocent intrigue that without a doubt withstood the test of time. There's even a touch of queer subtext shimmering just below the surface.

My only complaint is that it was too short, I wanted more.

Low pick. It‘s billed as a sequel to The Island of the Blue Dolphins, but it‘s not exactly that. I‘d say it‘s adjacent. I found the ending a little sad.

One more for #10BeforeTheEnd @ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures I was obsessed with Island of the Blue Dolphins as a kid! Didn't know there was a companion. ✔️✔️ 1w
Sace @ChaoticMissAdventures I think companion is a good word choice. There was very little of Karana in this book. 1w

I‘m calling this a high so-so because it sort of wasn‘t what I was expecting so I was a little confused and disappointed. It wasn‘t bad, just not what I was looking for.

Definitely listen to this Audio!

This Razor-sharp psychological Thriller with a contemporary infused setting, was not at all what I expected. It was so much more, it grabbed me form the get-go and didn't let up until the very end.

Mixing the amnesiac, mind-game vibes with the media-obsessed true-crime-podcast created an unique story, brilliantly narrated by January LaVoy and Will Darmon
