Pickpick

Continuing #kidspickingbooks (is it July yet 😁)
Sons pick- the blurb says ‘if you like Gone Girl and Girl on the Train‘ which always makes my heart sink as I didn‘t like either. BUT, I did enjoy this, good twists, good characters (didn‘t necessarily like all of them but well written in the story!). A quick, easy thriller to read. I did guess the end but that was fine too!

TheKidUpstairs I feel like any thriller will be described in that way. They sold lots of books, so the marketing department wants to make the comparison! 6y
TrishB @TheKidUpstairs I know 😁 puts me off if anything! 6y
TheKidUpstairs @TrishB it's a major pet peeve of mine. Anything remotely magical gets "if you loved Harry Potter", thrillers get this shit, etc. I try to ignore it all. But I've been sucked in by some crazy ones myself, so I understand why they do it. 6y

RadicalReader @TrishB what an amazing Tag to have children pick books. They should also do one where parents pick out books for kids as well 6y
TrishB @RadicalReader I do that too 😁 they just don‘t read as much as me! 6y

Fascinating read, yes, you do have to put the hindsight aside. But you still end up questioning decisions made etc. We think it can‘t happen again, but minority groups are being persecuted worldwide 😢
Quote from the end of the book- ‘More than 8 decades after Hitler became chancellor we are still haunted by the Nazis. It is right that we should be.‘

Mehso-so

Next up on #kidspickingbooks month. Daughter choice - so I can learn about the geography in Peru 😁
An absolutely gorgeous looking book- reason enough to have on the shelf. Somewhere between a pick and a so-so- some sections where fantastic and some fell a bit flat or I lost the plot! Good ending. I haven‘t read the authors other book - but probably will.

Prairiegirl_reading This is pretty much how I felt about the watchmaker of filigree street. I still think I‘ll read this one someday though. 6y
TrishB I‘ll probably get the first if I see on offer 👍🏻 6y
