audiopainting

so-so

A soft pick. It's a cool concept that doesn't quite live up to its promise. Julia has narcolepsy which runs in the women in her family. Her condition, along with a family heirloom, allows her to travel in time but she can only go back a year. It's long enough to save the love of her life but turns out to have a ripple effect that causes 100s more deaths. Julia repeatedly goes back to try to forge a reality in which Alex- & everyone else- lives.

bookandbedandtea There are other storylines: her mother's mysterious disappearance, a serial killer who's been active for decades, the effects of her time jumping on her grandmother with has dementia, Julia's recurring dreams of a fire and a man with a knife. All of these things come together but it didn't grip my attentive the way I expected. 6mo

Cut & Thirst | Margaret Atwood

pick

I did some #audiopainting yesterday. The Atwood- talk about your SHORT stories- is an amusing homage to friendship (with a message about either not waiting to get your revenge or simply letting things go) that I was enjoying until it came to an abrupt end.
I'm about 1/3 of the way into Mad Love and so far it's really good. Love the multiple narrators.

This was okay. Cute and funny but I was looking for a little more oomph. Started on #audio last month and finished last night while #audiopainting

Finished this audiobook while painting my little fox. 🦊☕ I kinda like those King books that have nothing to do with the supernatural.

I listened to this book while #audiopainting and enjoyed the heck out of it! It was absolutely fun: from Fizzy's zest for life, the concept behind the reality show, the "heroes," to the cameos by Jess and River it was a great ride! And Connor is going on my #litcrush list! ?

The Golden Spoon: A Novel | Jessa Maxwell

pick

I've decided to take up watercolor & got some #audiopainting done while listening to this delightful book yesterday.
Told through the POVs of 6 contestants & the longtime host of a popular baking show, we're given a story of betrayal, friendship, ambition, sabotage, self-discovery, a historical mystery, & a current murder. It's very character driven, with good backstory on each character, rather than a fast paced thriller, which worked for me.

bookandbedandtea The friendship which developed between Pradyumna and Lottie was a joy. Teeny quibble: I would have loved more time with Peter as he's such a good person. But I get that he didn't bring enough drama to the plot. 1y

dabbe If I could paint like that, I'd take up watercolors, too! Wow! 🤩🤩🤩 1y
