so-soI reaaally enjoyed the main story plot but there‘s so much that didn‘t need to happen.. iykyk 😅 It was also SO predictable to me that I was hoping for some big twist that never came. I wanted to give it a higher rating but since I can‘t see myself recommending it, I just couldn‘t do it..
pickWhile this wasn‘t my favorite from this author, it was still very good. There were slower parts in the middle but it picked up again. This story follows three MCs and goes back and forth to their different times, with the “present day” being 1998. There‘s an eerie, witchy feel to it and plenty of mysterious events. Each MC has a mystery to solve with the three connecting in the end. The characters were well written and there was so much intrigue.
pickA lovely intro to spooky season reads! Will always read and recommend Silvia Moreno-Garcia
pickThis book was fun. I love stories that jump around in time and this keeps the pace moving. Another great book from Garcia.
New listen while I hop on the treadmill and cook dinner. It‘s been way too hot to walk outside lately but a good audiobook helps make the treadmill less dull.
pickMiranda is writing her thesis on Beatrice Tremblay, a little known horror author whose novel was based on the disappearance of her college roommate in the 1930s. As she digs deeper, parallels arise with the stories her great-grandmother, Nana Alba, told her in Mexico. A tense, gripping tale of witchcraft and survival, told in three alternating timelines. And what a beautiful cover!
so-soI liked how there was a mysterious vanishing in each timeline, but it didn't grab me and keep me there. The writing was good, but there were unanswered questions at the end.
Preordered some books with Barnes & Noble's preorder sale (even though I'm still expecting books from their last TWO preorder sales 😆 ).
Better World Books is also having a 25% off sale on 4 or more used books so I ordered 6!
Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 💕🐎📚.
1- Haven't preordered in years. Just tried returning to mail ordering books, but waiting for their safe delivery drove me crazy 😂. While I WAS tempted to preorder the tagged book...I'm just going back to keeping a lookout for books wherever I may find them. Do miss having a bookstore, I use to have books preordered/ordered and held for me all the time.

pickThis author is sort of all over the place in her genre. If you're ok with that (I am for sure) and enjoy a surprise definitely give this a go.
