📖🎧 I‘d love to finish these by EOD Sunday🤞🏻🤓
pickMarried couple Millie and Stan head to Africa on safari m. Stan doesn‘t want Millie to come along. He doesn‘t really want Millie at all any more but once they embark the oddest thing happens, Millie no longer cares what Stan wants. She comes into her own with new friends, new talent, and new love. That is just the start of their journey.After reading Mrs Caliban I knew I needed to read more by Ingalls. This was just as strange and marvelous.
so-soI‘m glad I read this, for the strangeness of it, the reminder that words are ours for the wielding to shape stories as we wish. Was aware of a theme of distance/observation (fitting for a detective main character I guess) and of recurring motifs, but not perceptive enough to piece together their importance. In that sense, as a reader I was distanced. Separated from the story by its opacity. I looked at words on a page, then closed the cover.
bailedI couldn‘t get into this one so giving myself permission to DNF
pick3⭐️ This is a perfect book for Halloween. 11 stories about ghosts 👻 I would‘ve given a higher rating if the endings are more conclusive. I was left feeling unsatisfied for most. My favorites are “Afterward” and “A Bottle of Perrier.” There‘s no ghost for the latter but a gruesome finding at the end, and I found it the most entertaining.
Finishing this book makes me want to cry. It‘s like losing a friend.
