pickFinished the last one in the series. It‘s a low pick for me mainly because I‘ve liked the series. The format is the same as the other 3 books in the series. Again it‘s tied to a point in English history & the fight for women‘s rights. Nothing earth shattering but a good quick, easy read. April review #bookspin
#ItTakesAllKinds Day 29: This is a #BkMentionedInBk #BookMentionedInBook kind of novel that I absolutely adored. Took a photo of the page and edited using an app. See my full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-i6R
bailedLost interest and got slightly confused while reading. It seemed to jump around and the plot kind of became an afterthought for me
so-soMMC: Elias - loved.
FMC: Catriona- wanted to smack upside the head.
Loved revisiting the characters from previous books. Especially the first book Bringing Down the Duke, which is still my 5 star favorite. We are told Catriona‘s smart. I guess. The pacing was very slow. Honestly I feel like this story was trying to tackle too many issues at once, and the story didn‘t flow well. I wanted more details on the HEA. Not a vague ending for the couple.
“The word you said earlier, what did it mean?” she asked.
The way he went quiet said he knew at once what she meant.
“Ta‘abrinee,” he said.
“Yes.”
“It means, bury me.”
“Isn‘t that a bit morbid?”
He stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. “We say it to someone we don‘t want to live without. Hence, we must go first.”
Sorta sappy, but if the love isn‘t like this, I don‘t want it!
pickAll the romance books I‘ve read so far in February! Been reading a lot but haven‘t had much time for social media and posting!
Hope everyone else‘s reading is going well this month!
pick3/5
During Lebanon civil war, Zeina and her brother wait for her parents to come back from visiting their grandmother. As the bombing grows in intensity, we are waiting with them & their neighbors. Tension is palpable, past events are shared, allowing us to get a little more acquainted with the neighbors.
Some illustrations worked well to express the tension. But the book shortness makes it harder to create a deep connection with the characters.
pickI love her books, this book just got to me. I wish I could have this kind of happy ending. My most recent love story is so similar but instead just ended.
