Penitence: A Novel | Kristin Koval

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 😅) 27m

“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. ✔️✔️ 4d
Sace @ChaoticMissAdventures I think companion is a good word choice. There was very little of Karana in this book. 4d

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

I struggle with this one.

I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I kept thinking that if it weren't for Kyle (who I hate, by the way) this whole story wouldn't exist.

The slow pace, character driven plot just didn't grab me like the Farseer Trilogy did.

However, I understand that Hobb develops her stories over time, and I can see a lot of potential in this trilogy and its importance in the overall Elderling series.

Enchanted_Bibliophile @PuddleJumper I know I'm way behind on the #RealmOfElderlings timetable, but I'm going to try my best to catch up before the end of the year. 1w
Ruthiella Kyle is despicable. But there is good character development in this trilogy, especially with Malta IMO. 1w

PuddleJumper Kyle is the absolute worst. He is a catalyst for the other characters and plot but yeah, it's hard sometimes when nearly everything goes back to one character. I've totally lost the plot with where we are! I think this book was for Sep/Oct and last one is Nov/Dec. I'm very behind as well 1w
Enchanted_Bibliophile @Ruthiella I can't wait to see that, she really got the spoiled little teenage brat going strong in this one. 1w
Enchanted_Bibliophile @PuddleJumper Glad to hear it's not just me 😊 1w

I do not like zombies but I‘m glad I picked up this book. It‘s got other supernatural creatures besides zombies. There are vampires, witches, trolls, etc. It was really good on audio. The narrator was so good with voices!
