so-soThis book is pretty good actually but it's not for me:
✔ Intriguing plot
✔ Blend of Victorian + Oriental components which I enjoy
✔ Good storytelling
❌ Not one likeable characters
❌ Explicit sexual content
❌ Some issues left unexplained although did not affect the whole story
Rating: 3🌟

#TBRTuesday
Finishing up my last three #netgalley titles for #netgalleyTBRattack and a library ebook of Beartown.
My #RehabTBR is a mix of #MountTBR, #NetGalleyTBRAttack, my personal challenge to read more physical copies off my shelves, and #bookmail.
Let's see how many I can get done this week. 😀

It‘s always hit and miss for me with poetry. Some of these poems really resonated with me, others did not. The ones that stuck with me did so because of their striking imagery and creepy weirdness.
One poem used red and white to talk about how stressful it is to grow up with religious expectations, walking through the world just waiting to be tainted. It really struck a chord with me.

A bit disappointing. I loved The Orchid Thief and the way Orlean ties threads together. This book was a lot of threads, but they just didn‘t form a cohesive whole for me.

Im currently reading two of these, so I should be able to get through these this week.
Found out I got approved for 6 #NetGalley #ARCs this morning!!! My tbr pile is getting out of control & I failed my #NetGalleyTBRAttack miserably 😓 Have to make it my goal to finish them next month! Focus is the key! 😔
