The Ghost Woods

pick

This one is a low pick. I have a lot of this author on my TBR, but this is only the 2nd book I‘ve read by them. This one freaked me out because pregnancy freaks me out lol. A lot of pregnant women, set in the 50s/60s so a lot of prejudice against unwed pregnant women. And a lot of mushrooms.

How can he be wearing black trousers and white shorts at the same time? It‘s the same scene… 🤔🤔🤔

Suet624 I\'m kind of stuck on the \“yellow toenails hanging over his toes\“ sentence. 1mo

Laughterhp @Suet624 😆😆🤢 I know. It‘s real gross. 1mo

Laughterhp @vlwelser I mean, she didn‘t say that, but maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

vlwelser That would be pretty aggressive to drop trou in a group setting and then ask for a favor. 1mo

Faranae Editor must have missed it because their eyes glazed over in boredom. I\'m almost impressed by how un-engaging this first person present is. 😂 1mo

A slow paced, atmospheric book about unwed mothers, queerness and feminism in the 1960s time frame of Scotland (although more about atmosphere). This is also mixed in with folklore which is well backed up by science (mushrooms everywhere). I enjoyed the book for a cottage read - there was nothing too surprising in this book and it was somewhat predictable but it was still a nice atmospheric read.

*There are trigger warnings in this book*

The sun came out and we spent the majority of the day in the water. We've finished dinner and the kiddos are tired out now so now I get some mom time with a cold beer and a book. The book is pretty slow paced so far, but that is kind of nice for cottage reading.

Another rainy morning at the cottage so we are stuck inside until it (hopefully) clears this afternoon. Our time at the cottage is quickly running out and I'll miss being able to get this much reading time in!! I'm looking forward to reading a bit of forest mystery while up at the cottage.

I was really hyped to read this book. I even requested that my library purchase it so I could read it and I just don‘t care anymore 😭 I don‘t care about any of the characters. I was promised a creepy witch in the woods and so far I‘ve only gotten gross childbirth descriptions and bland characters.
