Pickpick

I‘ve been on an audiobook kick lately. I‘ve had this book sitting in my library for a while now and needed something to listen to while I sanded and painted cosplays. The writing style is a tad repetitive—and a little cliched—but overall it was a fun listen with multiple narrators, all good performers. The setting was intriguing (a small Alaskan village housed entirely in one building) and the characters are quirky and engaging.

Beautiful. Stark yet bursting with imagery.
A rare treat, a brand new book. I e been lusting after either of her previous novels and then this sat on a shelf in a little indie bookshop and I picked it. And read, devoured, it.
Adored it. I keep mulling over the story and the island.

AmyG I loved this one. So beautifully written. 3mo

My June #12Booksof2024 pick was our first book for #CampLitsy24 & a clear (pun intended) favorite. Very atmospheric & absorbing.

Honorable Mentions include: Run Towards the Danger, Doppelgänger & A Scatter of Light.

Andrew65 This one has a number of nominations. 4mo

My choice for June is Clear. Beautiful writing, in depth characterization, imaginative, at its root a historical fact. 💛#12booksof2024

My favourite read of June. This one is quite an odd book, that appears to be centred around the Highland clearances of the 18th/19th century, but also looks at relationships and loneliness. It packs a lot in to a short novel.
