UnPopularOpinion

Nancy Drew 24: The Clue in the Old Album | Carolyn Keene

pick

I‘m late finishing this one for #nancydrewbr and I think I have another potentially #unpopularopinion. 😂 I was surprised to see this with a 33% rating and I enjoyed it for exactly the reasons many hated it. While I have major objections to the Romany stereotypes and the pejorative used to name them, I liked that the mystery didn‘t involve a lot of secret rooms and exploding oranges. The side characters were awful, but that was part of the charm.

Ruthiella Nice to read a positive review of this one! 😃 (edited) 6d

Librarybelle It was nice to have a different type of mystery—agree on that! 6d

Buckeye | Patrick Ryan

so-so

Perhaps without the hype I would‘ve enjoyed this one more. Lots of anachronisms, which drives me bananas. I liked the start with the parents, but when it got to their kids‘ lives it devolved into trite, well trod boomer lit fic. The narrator was great, which was good because it was almost 16 hours!!

AmyG Thanks for this post. Saved me from reading this. As a U of Michigan Wolverine, I do not want to read a book titled Buckeye. Iykyk 🤣 2mo

sarahbarnes @AmyG 😂😂😂 2mo

Chelsea.Poole @amyg we are buckeyes here, so I can imagine how yucky this title is for you lol! 1mo

Chelsea.Poole Sorry to hear this one didn‘t work for you. I have this on audio and had high hopes. I‘ll temper my expectations. 1mo

AmyG @Chelsea.Poole Ha! And let me say….you might just be my favorite Buckeye. 1mo

Chelsea.Poole @AmyG right back at you! (Wolverine!) 1mo

Megabooks @amyg @Chelsea.poole I'll always have a soft spot for THE OSU because it was the first veterinary school I was admitted to. (They do rolling admissions.) But I dated a guy, who went to Michigan, so I had a lot of GO BLUE at one point in my life. I'll just say my dog is no longer in that fight lol! I hope you like it more than I did. It has a good rating on the storygraph, so it's probably an #unpopularopinion! 1mo

Suet624 That's a bummer - I saw Chris Whitaker at the National Book Festival and he talked about how it was the best book he'd read in a long time. So of course I bought it. Who knows when I'll get to it... 1mo

JHSiess I have never heard the phrase “boomer lit fic“ until now. Frankly, I have only a vague idea what that is, but I'm sure it's insulting to a whole generation. As a baby boomer, and daughter of the Greatest Generation, I found this book absorbing, moving, relatable, and full of themes to be discussed and considered. I love historical fiction, particularly World War II-era. There is much to be learned from people like my parents who served & survived. (edited) 3w

JHSiess @Suet624 I attended a Zoom with Chris where he said the same thing. And a Zoom with the author, Patrick Ryan, who is thoughtful, eloquent, and delightful. Ignore the snotty comment about “boomer lit fic,“ read the book, and decide for yourself. I loved it & enthusiastically recommend it. Younger readers especially can learn much about the world & life by reading it.⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ (edited) 3w

Megabooks @JHSiess what I meant by “boomer lit fic” had to do with the narrative arcs of the characters of baby boomer generation. There weren‘t any new insights that this particular author brought versus others I‘ve read. I understand reading things that reflect on your own generation and experiences is really nice and probably a richer experience than I get reading this. When I find an author born in my microgeneration ⬇️ 3w

Megabooks (1978-1982), I tend to like it more or read it with more nuance than a writer about boomers. When I read the Greatest Generation characters in this book, I felt I had some surprises, the characters and plot in the Boomer generation I could‘ve told you exactly where he was going with them. And that made it less enjoyable for me. (And that‘s me having read over 2000 books in the last 6 years.) @JHSiess (edited) 3w

Megabooks @JHSiess probably my favorite multigenerational book with baby boomers is this one that employs a lot more creative storytelling.

The Nix

Suet624 @JHSiess I‘ll definitely read it and I agree with @Megabooks about The Nix. 3w

BarbaraBB @JHSiess I think ‘boomer lit fic‘ is a description of what to expect. Like ‘millennial angst‘ novels. It‘s not meant to be offending! (edited) 3w

A Killer Getaway: A Novel | Sienna Sharpe

pan

Oof. I had high expectations for this one—female serial killer who chooses a victim while she works at a beach resort every July—but it fell flat. The writing never fully engaged me, and it took a really, really long time before MC Lily acknowledges what she does every summer (if you did not read the cover nor any book summaries, you‘d be very confused with the aside comments she makes up until this point). There are other things that confuse ⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ …me too, but they are kinda sorta spoilerish. I was happy when the audio was finished, though the ending was much better than the beginning. The epilogue, however, was very eye rolling. Lily is an LGBTQ+ character, so there are elements of diversity in this. There are a couple steamy scenes in this one, and triggers for body shaming, suicide, and violence. This has received a lot of positive reviews, so I have an #UnpopularOpinion 2mo

Hooked_on_books Well, that‘s a bummer. Sounds like a fun premise, but based on what you‘ve said, I suspect I‘d feel the same as you. 2mo

Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books I had high hopes, but it just fizzled for me. 2mo

Meshell1313 Ooh I think it def adds more drama and makes the story more high stakes. I cared about her survival more and her situation seemed way worse because we were worried about the baby. 3mo

Kitta I think it‘s provided an interesting way for her to tell the story - directly to the baby. And yes as @Meshell1313 said it adds drama! I cared about her either way but it certainly seems more high risk given she‘s heavily pregnant. 3mo

jenniferw88 I'm probably going to be the #unpopularopinion here, but I think she'd have done the same things, pregnant or not. 3mo

Lesliereadsalot I agree with @jenniferw88 Of course she was trying to save two lives, but at the end of the day, everyone tries to save themselves. I couldn‘t stop thinking about how cumbersome it was to be heavily pregnant! 3mo

Ruthiella Would she have behaved differently if not pregnant? If anything she would have been perhaps more reckless? The whole book I was on edge. She thought more of her husband than her own or her child‘s life, it seemed. 3mo

squirrelbrain I agree Kitta - it was a good way to tell the story. Otherwise there would have had to have been another person with her all the time, or it would have been a stream-of-consciousness inner thoughts-type book. 3mo

BarbaraBB I agree the pregancy added to the drama - 36 weeks 😱 @Lesliereadsalot I kept thinking about that too, but I agree with @jenniferw88 in thinking that she‘d make the same decisions without being pregnant. Like @Ruthiella points out, she seems to hardly think of her baby. 3mo

Megabooks @Ruthiella Me too. I was on edge. I think it also made the periods she reflected on the relationship with her own mother more poignant and impactful. I have heard there is some brain fog in pregnancy, and I have that with my chronic illnesses. Her actions and the split between being single-minded and not always rational is reminiscent of that for me. 3mo

jenniferw88 @Ruthiella this 100%! She doesn't seem at all bothered about her own life, nor her baby's. She is SO NOT ready to be a parent. 3mo

JamieArc I think one of the aspects that is directly affected by the pregnancy is how others perceive her or help her. More people are aware of her because of her pregnancy, and we as readers see that. And would she be getting the help she is if she weren‘t pregnant? 3mo

TrishB Jeez, harsh judgements 😁 first baby/pregnancy, hard to imagine a child or being a mother! I don‘t think it‘s that she didn‘t think of the baby, she was just panicking. I mean she made some dodgy choices. I think as @squirrelbrain says, it‘s a good story telling device. 3mo

Bookwormjillk @jenniferw88 I agree. Other than the physical issues she didn‘t really seem to think about the baby. The big thing though is that without the baby she would have been at work instead of crib shopping at IKEA. 3mo

jenniferw88 @TrishB, my medical conditions may be influencing my judgement for this book! As I've said somewhere else on one of my posts, I probably can't have children, so I can't empathise with Annie at all because I'll never be in her position. 3mo

TrishB @jenniferw88 no one is ever ready. It‘s life changing. 3mo

BarbaraBB @TrishB You‘re absolutely right, it‘s life changing, and I think she did what she thought was best - under pressure of the earthquake and not knowing where Dom was. I think she would have made those decisions anyway, mainly because she isn‘t a mother yet. She‘s a lonely panicky woman at this day! (edited) 3mo

Susanita She was “talking” to the baby constantly, for one thing. Yeah, she would be a hot mess regardless, but I think the story would have been different if she wasn‘t pregnant. Also, saving her life IS saving the baby‘s life. 3mo

mcctrish I agree with @TrishB that first babies/pregnancy are hard - no matter what you read it‘s a constant feeling of being out of control imo, I think Annie feels that on so many levels, she isn‘t exploring her dream job, finances are a shit show, her husband is going rogue, and there‘s an earthquake. She‘s lost herself and not having her mother is 💔 3mo

TrishB @mcctrish yes- that‘s a great summary. 3mo

TrishB @BarbaraBB she definitely is a lonely panicky woman! Felt for her. 3mo

vonnie862 Yes, I think her pregnancy added to her decisions and how people perceived her. 3mo

Chelsea.Poole I think the late stage pregnancy added to the emotional impact of the book—both in the present day earthquake aftermath and the lens through which we get Annie‘s past (her mother, her partner). It changed both others‘ perception of Annie and her own interactions/thoughts with the crisis (the little boy alone in IKEA, etc.) And I think that‘s pretty much how it is in real life. Motherhood colors everything: both the way I am seen and the way I see. 3mo

DGRachel Nothing new to add, but I think the pregnancy made it the experience physically harder for her. She‘d still be a hot mess if she wasn‘t pregnant, but I can see myself being just as lost, especially if I was alone. I agree with @JamieArc about it impacting the way others perceive and help her. I think if she hadn‘t been pregnant, she‘d have been invisible. 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I have a moderate tokophobia, so normally I would never read a book centering pregnancy in this way, but I do think everything is heightened a bit by it. I am with @Kitta it provided an interesting way to narrate the story, @Megabooks pregnancy brain fog added to disaster confusion, I honestly thought she was holding up pretty well so far. I cannot imagine the pain in the body, I thought Pattee did a great job describing it. 3mo

AmyG Yes wha mt you have all said. I believe it changed how she might have reacted. We will bever know. It wasnmt just her, it was her and the baby. I also agree it changed how th e reader reacted to her. I may not have had as much compassion for her if it was just her. 3mo

Zuhkeeyah Her pregnancy definitely played a role in how others interacted with her. Annie seems to be mostly ignoring the existence of the baby despite being late in pregnancy. There is also an element of shock to it all that leads to some decisions I don‘t agree with. 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @jenniferw88 I agree she is not prepared, but more so what the heck is she doing with that man, having a baby with him??? @Susanita yes, constantly talking to Bean, I almost think having someone to constantly talk to is a bit grounding for her. My stream of conscious would have been out of control, but it seems like she is able to talk to Bean in a way to get her thoughts a bit more in order than if she was just talking to herself. 3mo

GatheringBooks Was laughing out loud as I was reading the responses in this thread. Poor pregnant Annie lols. I echo the sentiment that pregnant or not, Annie would most likely make the same choices. However, I do sense her efforts to protect her Bean - she is very much aware of her own baby, but perhaps she overestimated her own capacity and underestimated the chaos and danger? As a first time hormonal mother, I think she would go even crazier if she went home. 3mo

Jas16 I agree that her pregnancy had a large impact in the ways others perceived her and in her physical capabilities, I think in some ways though the feeling of not feeling being prepared for the way a baby is going to change her life and the way she reacts to an unexpected earthquake, digging deep insider herself are connected. 3mo

Deblovestoread Not much new to add. I think she might be a bit better prepared for Bean‘s birth if she had a partner not just a husband. 3mo

Butterfinger While reading, I was comparing myself to Annie, not really thinking about her not being pregnant. I remember being scared out of my mind and being very rash when I was at that stage. I locked my keys in the car when I started laboring so I calmly went back into the trucks top restaurant to grab a chair. I was not going to have my baby at a truckstop. My husband, who stupidly was not panicking, said let's just call someone. I WAS NOT IN A DISASTER 3mo

Butterfinger I couldn't imagine being in that situation. I know I would walk to my husband's workplace to be with him. Maybe, if she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been more willing to offer aid to others hurt far more than she. 3mo

Hooked_on_books The physical challenges alone for her would have been so hard. She‘s late in pregnancy, so she‘s quite front heavy having to navigate broken ground. She‘d also have leg swelling and reflux at this stage. It would change everything compared to having to deal with all that. 3mo

CBee So strange - I never got a notification! Will check out all of the questions soon. @BarbaraBB Litsy being glitchy 🤪 3mo

CBee I kept thinking that what she was doing was impossible. But somehow, she did it. Being pregnant definitely influenced her decisions. 3mo

BarbaraBB That‘s frustrating @CBee I did tag you. I hope you‘ll enjoy the discussion nevertheless 🤍 3mo

CBee @BarbaraBB no worries on my end! I know Litsy can be wonky sometimes 🙂 3mo

willaful I'm maybe the only person here who has actually been this situation - NOT, thank goodness, pregnant! -- and getting home to my then boyfriend (now husband) was the only thing I cared about. I made what in retrospect were very foolish decisions and could have been killed.

I feel no one is giving Annie credit for listening to her intuition, turning down a bad ride for example. She's doing her best in incredibly dire circumstances. 3mo

peaKnit @AmyG I agree, I would not have had as much empathy if she wasn‘t pregnant either. I totally think her pregnancy influenced her decisions. 3mo

TrishB @willaful I hear you! I haven‘t been in this situation (thankfully!) but I understood the making decisions in a stressful situation and that‘s just the way it is. Some harsh judgements here 😁 3mo

BarbaraBB @willaful You‘re right, I cannot imagine those circumstances. Next week we‘ll discuss her encounters with people along the way! 3mo

cariashley Gah, this was such a tough read 8 weeks postpartum but better to read it now than when I was 37 weeks! The whole time I just kept thinking she was in shock and on autopilot out of sheer desperation, which I can‘t imagine would have been quite as visceral if she wasn‘t pregnant. I cannot imagine. My ankles were swelling so bad in heat at the end and it pained me reading about her walking such distances! 3mo

BkClubCare Fifty comments!! 3mo

BkClubCare Okay, I thought it insane that she was in Ikea and attempting to move/lift boxes; that she wasn‘t getting any help and that was before the earthquake. I was super happy that she connected to the girl again to assist getting out of the store. 3mo

BkClubCare @cariashley - it pained me for her! All that walking! Bad shoes!! No water!!! Wow. 3mo

BarbaraBB @cariashley You could relate to Annie very well much I think, and you describe her feelings perfectly. 3mo

Suet624 @BkClubCare Her attempt to lift boxes! Insane. :) 3mo

Suet624 I loved reading all these comments. I don't think she would have acted any differently if she weren't pregnant - she'd still want to get to her husband. That's anyone's first thought, isn't it? :) 3mo

Maggie4483 Only a day late this time instead of a week! Woo hoo! I kinda don‘t agree with everyone about Annie‘s actions. I think she‘s definitely looking out for Bean (she‘s always very aware and protective of her belly), but it seems instinctive, not intentional. And her guilt at leaving the little boy in IKEA, and her hesitation to leave Becky‘s body, makes me think that, were she NOT pregnant, she might have become a helper. (edited) 3mo

Maggie4483 @willaful - I think that‘s only natural. I imagine after a disaster all you want is to be with your loved ones, if anything just as reassurance that they‘re okay. I was a freshman in college on 9/11, away from home for the first time. Even though no one I knew was anywhere near NY or DC, but I called all my loved ones. I‘ll never forget my grandfather laughing at me and telling me that Nacogdoches, Texas was one of the safest places I could be. 3mo

Well-ReadNeck I def think her pregnancy makes a huge difference. For the reasons everyone mentioned, but also because this baby will be coming at some point in the near future and she doesn‘t have the option to hunker down and wait and take things slowly. She needs to get to civilization and medical care. 3mo

sarahbarnes I‘m sorry to have missed this discussion @BarbaraBB - I‘ve been so distracted lately and haven‘t even read this book yet. I hope you‘re doing well. 💕 3mo

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes No problem of course, I just hope you‘re doing well. Been missing you on Litsy 🤍 3mo

ImperfectCJ Annie seems incredibly aware of her baby (I mean, she's talking to it the whole time), but it seems like she's thinking of the baby as a part of her, which it basically is. And really, the baby is in the safest place it can be, so she doesn't really need to think of it separately. She's just got a need to bring her little family together and feel safe, and it's not clear to her how to make that happen. 3mo

ImperfectCJ I've no idea if she'd act differently not pregnant, but I suspect she would have less focus on one goal. And without Bean to talk to, she might be a lot more panicked. 3mo

BarbaraBB @ImperfectCJ wow you‘re late to the party but you add a lot to think about! Very insightful 🤍 3mo

sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB 💕💕 thank you. My work is very connected to all the terrible things happening here and it feels very overwhelming these days. I still love Litsy and miss seeing you on here; I hope to have more time to be back on here soon. 3mo

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I am very sorry for you. I can‘t imagine how that must be but I guess it is frightening and frustrating. I hope books and Litsy can continue to be a much needed way out 💝 3mo

#Unpopularopinion. It took me a long time to read this book and that‘s probably because it‘s so boring and annoying. Frank and Cleo are married on a whim and this book is about their based-on-nothing marriage and the friends surrounding the couple. Everyone is beautiful and doing drugs and alcohol and anti depressants. I didn‘t see the point. At all. #Roll100

#unpopularopinion time. Repetitive AF. I knew going in that this was spicy, which is fine, but there was sexy times in every chapter except for 2, maybe 3. And it just seemed like the MCs did literally nothing but bang it out, so I don‘t buy that they formed an emotional connection. When they did talk, it was mostly about each other‘s private parts. And if I never hear the words cock, beaver, or monster ever again, that would be fine with me!

The Safekeep | Yael van der Wouden

so-so

#UnpopularOpinion

I appreciated what the author is trying to do here but for me she wasn‘t successful. I didn‘t buy the central relationship - there was too little to show how they came to care for one another. It‘s a trope I rarely enjoy or find convincing so maybe it‘s just me. The writing is good and the background story is really important. I‘m extra critical when I think a book could be truly great but misses the mark, so only a so-so.

Jeg Just finished it. When I got to the end , sort of ending I like , I did feel there was something missing. I have a hard time articulating my feelings. Thinkyou might have nailed it. Though I did really enjoy it and can relate to the relationship between the women to some extend. Especially the first kiss. ❤️ 3mo

CarolynM @Jeg The enemies to lovers thing is really hard to do convincingly, I think. Especially in a case like this, where they both had good reasons to hate each other and no obvious reason to feel love. (edited) 3mo
