so-so

What a bummer! Mandel writes so beautifully but this one just went nowhere, in my opinion.

MrBook Your opinion isn‘t uncommon. When you have a smash hit, particularly it being your debut, subsequent books have high expectations. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage So sad you didn‘t like it. But hey, it checked off prompts. 📚👊🏻💙 4y

Blackberry and Wild Rose | Sonia Velton

I enjoyed this tale full of morally ambiguous characters. In the late 1700s Esther, the Huguenot wife of a silk-weaver, rescues Sara from life in a brothel, but all is not rosy in that household either.

This felt rather like a Tracy Chevalier novel; a great storyline as well as an in-depth look at an aspect of history, in this case silk-weaving.

Thanks so much for the gift @julesG ! 😘

Here is my (for once) early #ReadWithMrBook prompt. It was not only #pickedforcover as it was a book-club-prompt, but I really like the Magritte-esque image.
