June 2025 Book #3

I keep reading this author thrillers because they are entertaining but I don‘t love them. Usually the premise is good with various good twists but nothing that impact me. With that said, I liked it but not loved it. I probably read her next novel🤷🏽‍♀️3/3.5⭐️

#bookspinbingo scored a line! This was a sweet little book with lots of interesting spiritual musings… one that I would like to return to again.

June 2025 Book#2

This one is going #offmyshelf @wanderglynn It didn‘t work for me. I found it so exaggerated and even histrionic in the way situations were managed or explained. What about menstruation it was like the topic is something out of this world🙄I still don‘t know why this book was in so many awards lists. I know mine is an unpopular opinion🤷🏽‍♀️2⭐️Almost bailed it.

BarbaraBB This is such a dividing book. People either hate or love it! 6h
CarolynM Not an unpopular opinion, as many people hated it as loved it, me included. Pretentious twaddle. 6h
Gissy @CarolynM I tried but the book is going to another home☺️ 6h
Gissy @BarbaraBB Agree 6h

May 2025 Book #1

I really wanted to like this book but it was a little disappointed to me. It has mixed reviews, people love it or not. Well, I‘m one of those who didn‘t like it much. That beginning was just unrealistic and then even when it has creepy scenes, it didn‘t make any sense unless you “imagine” what you want to happen. For me was more like a mental health situation. No, it wasn‘t for me 2.5/3⭐️

May 2026 Book #6 (last one read this month, see I didn‘t read much this year)

My intention to read this book was to understand better James by Percival Everett who was the author on May. But it didn‘t happen, I haven‘t read James yet. Wow, this is a controversial story due to its racist content. You can read in GR a lot of comments in favor or con. So interesting in that way. But I try to read these type of books within the time frame ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.)…it was written since it will reflect part of the history or author perspective. It is also considered a satirical story which it could be expected some uncomfortable expressions. The story has parts that you can laugh but others definitely can be so offensive this time. For what I read in GR reviews I think it could be a story to analyze and compare that time and current time analyze many concepts and how racism is in this novel⬇️ 10h
Gissy (Cont.) I‘m not an expert in literature but I think with this novel we can learn to not continue doing the same mistakes in our present history…I wish I could know who read and analyze these topics among those (who called themselves)“leaders” out there 🤔
3.8/4⭐️love my gorgeous edition and bookmark.

May 2025 Book #5

This book came in a subscription box in 2022😱It was interesting since it is set in Ecuador in 1920‘s I enjoyed it. It has a touch of mystery and suspense. Puri traveled to Ecuador personifying her dead husband to claimed her inheritance but she is not welcomed and things happens and secrets start to happen. Maybe not realistic, cheesy romance but I liked Puri character and all the drama that occurred in this cocoa plantation.

Gissy 3.5/3.75⭐️ I will like to read something else by this author.

May 2025 Book #4

This thriller was a page turner with its many twists. But the end was not as I expected, maybe rush or too simple. But it kept me reading. 3/3.5 ⭐️

May 2025 Book #3

Cleo, an NYU student, came late to stay some days with her mom. But the scene she saw at her mom‘s kitchen suggested that something happened to her mom: food burning and one bloody shoe.
Not the best thriller, it is predictable but I focused on the family drama and how Cleo‘s perspective changed. 3/3.5⭐️Maybe should be described as so-so

Texreader I just got my second returned card I‘ve sent to you. 😢 I‘ll try again. My poor postman. When he handed it to me I told him that it IS the correct address! He looked at me like “lady, there‘s nothing I can do about that!” 7h
Gissy I can email you or you can ask @TheBookHippie because she had the same problem at the beginning but now I receive her cards. I received all the cards this autumn and winter using the same address🤷🏽‍♀️maybe there is a twilight zone between your home and mine 😂But don‘t worry don‘t know what to say🤷🏽‍♀️ 7h
