Signal to Noise | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Not my favorite by this author but still a good read.
A coming-of-age/dual timeline story, involving teenagers casting spells by spinning the perfect record 🪄🎶.
She loses the plot a little, but never the characters ♥️

Reggie I love this book so much. Untamed Shore is my favorite by her but this is a close 2nd. 5d

Mexico: A Novel | James A. Michener

What a Story!
Mexico by James Michener is an absolute masterpiece. This author is so talented—he has a rare gift for blending historical fact with rich, compelling fiction. The story gave me a completely new perspective on Mexico, its people, and its history. While some of the bullfighting scenes were brutal, they were also exciting, vivid, and deeply enlightening. Michener‘s ability to bring a culture to life on the page is unmatched

Very good. Wonderfully atmospheric and moody. Full of twists and turns. Follows a family that has many secrets that they wish to keep buried.

Mexican Gothic | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

#tlt @dabbe
Three books that I am intrigued by from the list are: Mexican Gothic, Carrie, and Gone Girl.

dabbe I can only vouch for CARRIE, and it is scary-good! 🤩 2w

thebacklistbook @dabbe 👍. Regarding my comment on your post I enjoyed all three I listed. M. L. Rio is one of my favorite authors. Though to be fair I'm heavily biased having followed her tumblr since before she was published in fiction. 2w

thebacklistbook The summoning sneaks up on you. It's good. And I adored Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. 2w

Temporada de Huracanes / Hurricane Season | Fernanda Melchor

Loved this audiobook. Took me a little to get into it at first, but when I got the hang of it, I couldn‘t stop.

This was not the story I was expecting but I love how unapologetic and real it felt.

Under the Volcano: A Novel | Malcolm Lowry

This was a difficult book. Halfway through the first chapter I considered bailing, but I had known going in what to expect and so pushed on. I'm glad that I did. Though I'll probably need to reread it several times before I can claim to have caught everything going on here, it's clear by the end of this first read that something truly great is happening here. Like all great art, it demands a lot from its audience, but the hard work is worth it.

Ruthiella Oof! I had such trouble making my way through this book! 😅 I may have been too young to have tackled it. It was over 25 years ago. 4w

Liz_M Nice seasonal reading, Day of the Dead type book! I don't think I would catch everything even if i read it a half-dozen times. 😂 4w

Reggie @Ruthiella 7!!!! you were 7 when you tried reading this?!!!! lol 3w

Ruthiella @Reggie That‘s right! 😜 7…not 37…😂 3w
