#BookReport

I continued with the buddy reads; Dark Fire #ShardlakeBR and Unwell Women #SheSaid which I hope to have finished before tomorrow‘s weeklong forecast

I finished The Ghost Ship

I read So Late in the Day, My Name is Lucy Barton and The House at the Edge of Magic. These last two where the first books in different series and I‘m definitely continuing with both

This is an odd book, and I really wanted to like it more than I did, but the experimental, stream of consciousness style, and the tough subject matter made it a difficult read. Still, we shouldn't shy away from talking and reading about injustice and violence and death, and Wolf and Mrs Death are strangely likeable characters. This is really well written, I just didn't quite get it.

I think it‘s time for me to realize that Keegan isn‘t for me. This is the 3rd book I‘ve read and every time I feel a little underwhelmed. It‘s hard to explain but I always feel that I‘m missing something since I don‘t love them like so many others.

The only reason I didn‘t finish this in one sitting is because I had appointments this morning. There‘s something remarkable about how the book tells you what it‘s doing the whole time, and yet it never feels didactic or too clever. Really liked it.

Next

3.5⭐️ A really interesting book; some sections felt longer than they should have. A character study that looks at how war affects people on a daily basis. #2024 #historicalfiction #fiction #canadian #literary #bosnianwar

I LOVED Margo‘s Got Money Trouble and was happy to see this one on my shelf by the same author!!

This was just not doing it for me. I kept putting it down and forgetting about it and then did not even remember what I had read previously when I went back to it.

My reading time has been consumed reading War and Peace for the past few months. Wonderful book. It‘s proof we just keep making the same mistakes about war century after century!

Been reading this for a couple of weeks and have not gotten very far. I find myself forgetting about the book entirely, which is never a good sign…
