The Curious Secrets of Yesterday | Namrata Patel

so-so

⭐️⭐️💫

I enjoyed the cozy spice shop setting in Salem and liked learning more about Ayurvedic practices. I also appreciated Tulsi‘s journey to learn more about herself and her family. It just felt overly long to me and fell a bit flat. #amazonfirstreads

A great example of duality perspectives puzzle piecing the story together. It was interesting until the end!

I liked it, especially when things finally started coming together toward the end. Multiple POV‘s, multiple timelines, and a lot of redirecting meant it took me a while to get my bearings. I had a suspicion about halfway thru that ended up being correct! The characters were not easy to like, they were all fairly unbearable actually. But I was kept entertained thru a particularly busy workweek, which worked well for me.

intothehallofbooks I received a digital arc prepublication but the multimedia chapters didn‘t translate well for me in digital format, so I waited for a print copy to become available from my library. I enjoyed that reading experience much better. Many thanks to Knopf and NetGalley for the eARC. 3w

So imagine if two people brought the same puzzles together and l decided to combine the pieces before putting together two of the same puzzle. then they discover that each box also contained pieces of other puzzles. Yeah, like that.

Super heavy on the introspection. But I think I gained something from reading it.

All you need is a 4 lb Butternut (from my garden) a large onion, 3 garlicky cloves.Bouillon that has ginger in it. Cook until Squash is soft.Let cool a bit and put it in a blender to make it smooth. Add cream and fresh parsley to serve. @Catsandbooks @Texreader

Just the kind of book I love for October and while it had some good twists, I called the who pretty early on. The how and why was fun to see unravel, though.

Another of my #trappedinaspookyhouse reads, chosen for me by @GHABI4ROSES and organized by @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper Wahoo! 🎉🎉 2mo
