10BeforeTheEnd

pick

This has been a standout read of the year. I absolutely loved everything about it. The narrative is told alternately between Snow, the fox wife, and Bao, the private investigator looking for her. The setting is China at the end of Empress Cixi's reign, as modernity and Western culture start to infiltrate China.

It's heavily interlaced with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean folklore.
Highly recommended 5⭐️

ChaoticMissAdventures Good Luck!! 🍀 This time of year can be hard. 4d

julieclair What a nice variety of subjects and genres! I loved Calm Christmas and plan to read it every year. And I, too, am hoping to catch up with AK. I haven‘t even started yet. 😳 4d

mcctrish Good luck with AK! I needed to be sick in bed to settle in with it ( it was a silver lining to being sick) I read Elegance of Hedgehogs that way too ( I found the beginning a slog and then I loved it ) 4d

Andrew65 Hope you have a good reading week. 4d

The Drift | C. J. Tudor

pick

My second C.J. Tudor thriller, and I‘m sure it won‘t be my last. As I learned more about the three different sets of characters stranded in blizzards, I started to suspect one of the twists, but I still had no idea where the story was going. I love books where the tiniest description can come back into play. Had me using the search function on my Kindle several times.

Another one down for #10BeforeTheEnd

The Drift | C. J. Tudor

#10BeforeTheEnd is shaping up for me. I‘m going to read that Control Unleashed book if it kills me! I‘ve had it on my #TBR for so long.

My last three fiction books should be fast reads. I‘m putting my audiobook of Dungeon Crawler Carl aside while I listen to my library Libby hold for the Marvellers, one of my #SnowedIn choices. But I know I‘ll get back to Carl. Princess Donut will not be ignored!

For now, I‘m reading the tagged ebook🦠❄️🏔️
