There Are Rivers in the Sky: A novel | Elif Shafak

pick

Every once in a while you read the blurb of a book and think this could be a new favorite. Then you read the first paragraph and gets it confirmed. This was that book for me. I knew I was in safe hands and could just get lost in the story.

Arthur by the Thames from the 1840s, Narin by the Tigris in 2014 and Zaleekhah by the Thames in 2018. I preferred Arthur and Zaleekhah‘s stories and I post under a spoiler why

And that ending

AnneCecilie When reading we don‘t know how the stories of Arthur and Zaleekhah will end. Very early on we learn that Narin is Yazidi girl and when the family is going to a town near Mosul and ISIS is mentioned, at least I knew where this was going. Everyone remembers the massacres of the Yazidi, the only thing we don‘t know is how Shafak will do it and how much in the center of this her characters will be. 14h

AnneCecilie I‘m going to an author event with Shafak later this month and I‘m so looking forward to it. I can‘t wait to hear what she has to say about this novel and her process. 14h

Luke-XVX She‘s going to be at my local bookstore in April! 13h

TrishB I loved this one ♥️ 12h

squirrelbrain Enjoy the event - I‘m sure it will be fab! ❤️ 12h

Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe: A Novel with Recipes | Jenny Colgan

pick

When I‘m not feeling well, I love reaching for favorite authors. Colgan writes wonderful characters and heartwarming stories. The relationship between Issy and Grandpa Joe is sweet, loving and beautiful.

The English Monster: Or, The Melancholy Transactions of William Ablass | Lloyd Shepherd

so-so

This was very slow, it got better at the end but I found it a slog to get through

julieclair Isn‘t it odd that sometimes a fascinating premise can result in a not-so-great book? Writing skill is so very important. 1w

The Woman in Cabin 10 | Ruth Ware

pick

#BookReview
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.

maich This year I made a #bookjar. For every book I read, I will put 1€ inside. We'll see how many coins I'll save up. 2w

The Husbands | Holly Gramazio

pick

I didn‘t walk today, but I did finish The Husbands. It was an interesting book with a unique premise. I wasn‘t in love with the ending, but it made sense for the book. Here‘s little George by herself and with our old boy, Cow. He‘s often grumpy, but he likes her.

There Are Rivers in the Sky: A novel | Elif Shafak

It occurs to him, in that moment, that poverty has its own scent, an odour that emanates from his pores, easily detected. It is an awful, debilitating thought.

(This quote has my thinking of “Parasite” right away)

Cathythoughts Can I ask you what book is Parasite ? Thanks , I‘m curious. 2w

AnneCecilie @Cathythoughts it‘s not a book, it‘s a Korean film that came out in 2019 2w

Cathythoughts Ok. Thankyou. ❤️ 2w

sarahbarnes Parasite is so good. 2w

BiblioLitten @sarahbarnes That movie stays with you, long after you‘ve watched! 1w
