Water Moon: A Novel | Samantha Sotto Yambao

Well this was an interesting part fantasy, part maybe (with a little tweak) almost horror story. Anytime souls are integral to a story my creep factor rises and I start thinking HP death eaters.

After a few weeks of just “meh” reading, I‘m excited to start my week with this one. I hope it‘s as good as I want it to be.

BC_Dittemore I‘ve heard excellent things about this. I was gonna try to put it on hold at one of my libraries but every list is like 80 ppl waiting for 4 copies. 😅 22h

Whew boy, this has been tough to get into. I‘m 25% thru and have been reading this book for four weeks, two days. Soooo slowww.

I love reading about the Dust Bowl, so got an ARC from NetGalley and have been chipping away at it for ages. I almost DNF‘d but decided to get the audio from the library to see if that helps me push thru, and it does. I‘m finally getting a little bit eager to see where the story goes. But I‘ve really had to work for it.

annahenke I want to read this because I like her and I like this time period. However, this is not the first I‘ve heard of it being slow. 3d

I just found out that the movie I loved back in the day, Practical Magic, was book 3 in a series.....so I just had to

monalyisha I loved the movie first (as a teenager) and then read the book later (in my twenties). It remains one of the only examples I can point to where I love the book and the movie equally -- and what's more impressive is that there are *distinct* differences between the two! 4d
itsjustme40something This makes me excited to read it now, since we know they always butcher the book. I'm the most excited for book 2, which I was told was about the Aunts...who I plan to be as I age 4d

2/5
Not my cup of tea.
Good writing, but the story didn't work for me. I didn't gain an interest for any of the characters, and I'm sure the story won't stay with me.

“Or maybe, all this time, it‘s been trying to tell us something else.” Hana held his rain-streaked face.
“Like what?” Keishin brought his lips next to hers.
“That we belong to each other.”

A beautiful story about love and the resiliency required to sustain hope. Shortly after Wren and Lewis are married, he is diagnosed with a genetic mutation that is turning him into a great white shark. This novel follows our two main characters, as well as Wren's mother, Angela. Most of the chapters are short (one or two paragraphs), making this a quick read.
