Psyche and Eros: A Novel | Luna McNamara

pick

I‘ll give this book a low pick. I enjoyed learning about Psyche and Eros, but wasn‘t my favorite myth retelling. It kind of seemed like the author was trying to show off how much Greek mythology she knew and to name all the gods. I won‘t say too much more but I mailed this out today. It should be there Saturday or Monday! #LmPBC

The Devil Makes Three | Tori Bovalino

so-so

Just finished our last #LMPBC #GroupM book! I see what ya‘ll were saying. This was okay. A quick read about high schoolers, magic and the devil. Tess is trying to work hard for her and her sister‘s future when rich and pretty boy Eliot comes into her library and the devil wreaks havoc on their lives. Although book was just okay, I absolutely loved the ending! Will send out in mail soon!⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Liar's Dictionary: A Novel | Eley Williams

so-so

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for picking this interesting read for #LMPBC! I lost patience a few times with the alternating storylines and the pacing, but I ended up appreciating how the meaning of the story changes, mirroring the ever-evolving meaning of language. It gave me White Noise by Don DeLillo vibes.

psalva Late as ever, I should have this in the mail today/tomorrow @Bookzombie - as you can see by my suitcase, I‘m on the road, so it‘s a matter of getting to a post office. @Reggie tagging you for good #GroupQ measure! 4d

BookmarkTavern Yeah, I don‘t think the two timelines worked as well in this story as they could have. 👍🏻 4d

Broken Monsters | Lauren Beukes

This was very disturbing, thought provoking & truly strange.
This thriller set in Detroit follows a varied cast of characters as a grisly murder impacts them &their communities with an eye towards art, social media & societal issues.

#lmpbc @Captivatedbybooks @Readergrrl @BethM

Readergrrl I thought the same! Kind of disturbing, but in a well-developed way, and I‘m still thinking about it. Admittedly, I was speed reading it so I didn‘t write as many comments as I normally do. I have a teen daughter and the scenes where the girls were “playing” with the online creepers had me sweating!! 2w

5feet.of.fury @Readergrrl the girls were stressing me out! But vigilante teens in cat masks - iconic! 2w

5feet.of.fury @Readergrrl The ending got a little Stephen King in a “this is really happening somehow, I guess” type of way, but it was good. 2w

Vampires of El Norte | Isabel Ca�as

pick

Between a pick and a so-so. There was a lot I liked: the setting, the atmosphere, parts of the story, the culture. There were things I didn‘t: characters that grated on me, the vampire plot point felt unfinished. I really enjoyed doing a gothic book with this setting, and it was fun to interact with the others who left notes in it for #LMPBC
