August 2024 Book #3

The month of August was not a good reading month for me in terms of how many books I enjoyed. Another unpopular opinion. I just couldn‘t with this book. It was interesting at the beginning but I found it so boring. I really struggled, some parts I care but most of the time not. Sorry for fans of this book. I have two other books by this author that I will try. 2.5⭐️⬇️

Gissy I felt with this book the same way I felt with The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow😳In my opinion too unnecessarily descriptive, dragging the story but at the same time an interesting story🤷🏽‍♀️ 3mo

Ruthiella This one is super slow. I say that as a huge Sarah Waters fan. More fast paced are Fingersmith and her debut

Gissy @Ruthiella I own Fingersmith and The Little Stranger which has low rating in GR but the premise sounds interesting. I want to watch the adaption but after I read the book. 3mo

Gissy @5feet.of.fury I was almost on that thought, it was a torture😖 3mo

I'm never satisfied with any Horror or suspense story...it can always be better...but this pretty good

About 1/3 of the way in, nothing has happened & I‘m not finding myself hoping for anything to happen. Might be a slow burn (but too slow for me).
On to the next! maybe whoever is next on the Libby hold list will find it a better fit! #authoramonth

Ruthiella This one is really slow, but next to Fingersmith, it‘s my favorite. 🤩 5mo

Do Dead People Watch You Shower?: And Other Questions You've Been All but Dying to Ask a Medium | Concetta Bertoldi

I don‘t know where to begin. I‘ll start with, I‘m enjoying it, it‘s an interesting and comforting perspective. It makes me feel MULTIPLE different emotions, experience MANY different thoughts and now I have LOTS of new questions. I‘ve always been afraid of this topic and reading this was my way of trying to get over that fear… this is helping, but I will admit it‘s hard to read after dark 😆. I feel this would be a fun discussion with others 👻📚

I liked this gothic mystery. I predicted a few of the plot points and so the ending only partly came as a surprise. I have been wondering about something while reading the book I'm hiding it as a Spoiler in the comments.

This was as much an impulse read as a book that's been on my TBR for a while, but I'm using it for the Green or Red on the cover prompt for #RushAThonChristmasBingo.

julesG Why does it always have to be "mad" women doing the killing in such gothic tales? Or am I picking the ones with "mad" women only? 13mo

Caroline2 Oh glad you liked it. I‘ve had this sitting in my tbr for agessss. I loved her other books so I must move it up my pile. 👍 13mo

Caroline2 Just read your spoiler… totally agree. 🙄 I was a disappointed with this one, bit cliched and predictable compared to The Corset. 10mo

julesG @Caroline2 Then I'm looking forward to reading The Corset. 10mo

Caroline2 The corset is sooo good! 👍 10mo

Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic. | Lisa Lister

I would recommend this for a read even if you don't consider yourself spiritual. The author's takes on history and The Patriarchy are really interesting, and offer a take that I hadn't considered, but makes perfect sense. I found a warm familiarity when reading this, and I imagine others will too. I found I was reading aspects of myself that I hadn't shared and her words gave a sense of forgotten community that was pleasant. Give it a go.
