April 2025 Book #4
I enjoyed this book inspired my true events. I was absorbed in the book but also I was searching for some historical events. I like the author‘s writing style. Love the cover. After I finished the book, I bought three more books by this author. Couldn‘t finish them this month but looking forward to read them later. 3.8/4⭐️

Soubhiville I like this author too 🙂 22h

Gissy @Amiable That edition has like 503 and then the acknowledgement and then the first chapter of a new novel😳so it will be more pages. I didn‘t want to read that first chapter because I bought the book and I will read it later. The book has deckled pages, which I love, and usually they looked like book have less pages. 12h
Gissy @Soubhiville I read The Rose Code and I also liked it and I bought like three more books😄 12h

@Texreader posted this sale, but be aware this is Book 2 in The Arc of the Scythe series, and you do really need to read Scythe first. For February‘s author for #authoramonth

Soubhiville It does, but it is book2 and you have to read Scythe first for it to make sense. 5d

Was unsure of where to start for this month‘s #AuthorAMonth and this was available on Spotify so I started today. Pleasantly surprised to find this essay collection is narrated by actor Maya Hawke, as we‘re in rewatch prep mode for the new season of Stranger Things. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Soubhiville I‘m gearing up for the new season too! 7d
Bookwormjillk I‘m ready for closure on Stranger Things! 7d

Though I‘m not a fan of Joan Didion‘s writing style, this is a moving reflection on loss and the impact of her daughter‘s death.

The narrator is also the author of this unusual fictional story, being portrayed as a true nonfiction biography of the wife, Inez Victor, of a senator. She (assuming the narrator is a she) tells the story according to the events she learns her information about Inez. As a result it is told out of chronological order, but in “real time” as the narrator interviews Inez and many others and reads news articles and documents, etc. In other words, ⬇️

Texreader the narrator continually broaches the fourth wall. Once this unusual narrative starts to make sense—granted it takes some time—it becomes very effective in creating the illusion of real events and people and their lives. Did all of this really happen? If the narrator quotes Newsweek, for example, does that mean it‘s real? Enough about the style…Inez is unique, detached it seems, from her cushy life. The husband acts like a politician and their ⬇️ 2w
Texreader kids act like kids of famous people would act. All of this against the backdrop of the end of the Vietnam War and the people who one would find with a senator and the man who seems to have a special relationship with Inez. And their families, and what one would expect from families of this echelon. There‘s an awful lot going on in this brief novel. I wouldn‘t want to read books like this often, but I‘m glad I read this one. #authoramonth 2w
