Forgot to review this. #pop22 #setinthe80s
Love this author! Gorgeous writing, the characters written with such empathy and depth, and a compelling plot, full of love, betrayals, tragedy and secrets. It‘s a story of 3 friends, inseparable in childhood, separated by a series of events in their teens, as the narrative moves back and forth in time. Ultimately this is about friendship in all its complexities, evolutions and endurance. Just fantastic.

ChaoticMissAdventures Excited to hear! I read one of hers this year and it is making my favorite books of the year 2y
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures always happy to see someone else loving Fresh Water as I do!! 2y

The Decagon House Murders | Yukito Ayatsuji

A club of university students spends a week on an island off the coast of Japan where a gruesome crime has recently occurred. Soon the first among them is murdered.
The characters in the book are flat, there is no poetic line to be found, but this cult book is an example of the “shin honkaku” genre — a Japan-specific reboot of the classic whodunit. Recommended!

I just loved this refreshing, honest, heartwarming memoir by Rob Lowe. As a true #EightiesGirl I enjoyed looking back at some of the most iconic movies & actors from my younger days. Rob Lowe is such a genuine good guy, his charm really comes through. I‘m definitely going to listen to his follow up book. I highly recommend the audio version….If any of my #Pop22 Crew needs a book for #SetInThe80s this memoir would be perfect 🥰

Cortg I‘ve heard good things about this one! 2y
squirrelbrain Sounds wonderful - I don‘t need that prompt any more, but stacking anyway! 2y

This was fine, entertaining at times but it was too long; felt dated & campy. The writing was a little off color, probably acceptable for the early 80‘s but I don‘t think it would get published today without some editing & polishing. A light pick. 🎉In non book news my niece qualified today and will skate at tomorrow‘s pairs long program. She has no chance to medal but her personal goal was to skate clean & advance and that‘s just what she did💕

BarbaraBB Wow! That is the best news! That is so cool! Even I feel proud #TeamHailey 🤍 (edited) 3y

Megabooks I just can‘t believe she went from leaving the sport for a bit to this. Just shows her commitment, practice, and athleticism!! 3y

Campy fun 🤩 Some low key 80‘s vibes and the ease of language from Stephen King.
#PoP22 #SetInThe80s or #AdaptationComingOutIn2022 can‘t decide which prompt I‘ll choose.

TJR is incredibly talented at writing charming ensemble stories. This sort of merges the formats of a multi generation family epic with a story told in a single night, hour by hour. The combo is surprising, but it works. #PopSugar2022 #SetInThe80s #LGBTQBookBingo #BlueCover @Kenyazero

LeeRHarry Just started this - loving the summer vibes 😊 3y
IndoorDame @LeeRHarry definitely a welcome change from this weekend‘s snowstorm! 3y
LeeRHarry @IndoorDame I should be getting those vibes here as it‘s summer but we have just had thunderstorms, it‘s humid, so yuck! Wouldn‘t mind me some snow 😊 3y
marleed I want to be one of TJR‘s characters so she can fill me with such great responses in the midst of conversation! 3y
