This is a very atmospheric and disturbing dystopian book about two sisters, living an isolated life in what mostly is a walled garden and what used to be the kitchen of the mansion they lived in before. A mansion that has been shut down for years because their mother wanted that. I was never quite sure of what happened, what was true and what not. The ending is vague too yet it was a very satisfying read for me.

Lesliereadsalot A very good story right? It would make a good movie! 1d

Soubhiville Sounds a bit like

We Have Always Lived in the Castle

sarahbarnes I‘m glad you liked it! @Soubhiville it does have that feel. 22h

squirrelbrain Glad you enjoyed it! I‘m only about a third of the way through. 22h

Hooked_on_books Very interesting! This sounds like something I‘ll either really like or absolutely hate. 😂 I have it on hold at the library, so I‘ll get to see where I come down on it. 18h

Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution | Cat Bohannon

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction

Finished yesterday for #SheSaid & my third #Roll100 puck for September #23 Any Audiobook, this book was long but fascinating. Evolutionary biology centered around the female body over the past 200 million years. I learned so much listening to the audiobook, read by the author. It took me most of the month (it‘s 16 hours), listening to it mostly in my car but the blend of science & history kept me interested. There ⬇️

DebinHawaii … is a PDF of drawings from the book included in the audiobook & while sometimes science books can be tough for me to fully absorb while driving or just listening, I had no issue with this one. It answered questions I had & some I never thought of so I recommend it if you are interested in science, evolution & the mind & body. #MonthlyNonFiction2025 (edited) 3mo

Unlikeable characters and a slow-moving story made this less compelling than AF‘s other books. While the ending was great, the journey felt drawn out, and I struggled to stay engaged. That said, I always enjoy a good unreliable narrator! Book #23 in 2025

I bought this one at A Book For All Seasons, Leavenworth WA because an anthology dedicated to poems about birds? Obviously necessary in my life. The poetry is lovely and the art is incredible. Give it a read ❤️

dabbe @Librarybelle YW! 💛🤎🧡 13mo

LiseWorks Oh well, the mashed potatoes, legs, eating oysters, not my thing. Having pumpkin gravy sounded pretty nasty lol. 13mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Agree 💯! 13mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m a vegetarian who is allergic to pecans so some of these were easy choices for me! I couldn‘t decide between talking politics or food poisoning since both make me feel sick to my stomach at this point! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 13mo

Bookish_Thoughts Food poisoning over politics because then I would be left alone and. NFL referee over dog trainer because I‘m allergic to dogs (actually the entire animal kingdom). And desserts over everything else. Always. 🤣 13mo

AnnCrystal Thank you @dabbe for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 😉👍💝.

#2 Choice: Dress Like A Turkey 🦃.

#23 Choice: Eat at the kids table 😂.

#30 Choice: Dance at the Macy's thanksgiving parade 🥳.

Have a good and yummy Thanksgiving! (edited) 13mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Me either! Both are vomit-inducing right now! 💛🤎🧡 13mo

dabbe @Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes #leftalone should be a hasgtag, right? 😂 💛🤎🧡 13mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal #youngatheart HT to you and your family, too! 💛🤎🧡 (edited) 13mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I picked politics over food poisoning because I get a kick out of making other people feel awkward & uncomfortable. I also chose lots of pilgrim costumes just because I like black & white and think the others would be too hot. 🤣 13mo

vonnie862 The pocket full of stuffing/Mash potatoes was pretty crazy, along with the alien and mash potatoes for legs. 13mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤩😂🤩 13mo

dabbe @vonnie862 Just a wee bit of a stretch, huh? 💛🤎🧡 13mo

Bookish_Thoughts @dabbe Yes! It should be. 🤣 13mo

Catsandbooks So fun! I would actually love to be a dog trainer at the dog show!! 13mo

DieAReader 😝Super cute! My crazy picks were: turkey flavoured whipped cream on pumpkin pie, NFL referee & carving a turkey blindfolded😅😂 13mo

Singout Did you really mean without hands or without cutlery? 13mo

PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the tag @dabbe! Hope you‘re enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. 💜 What a fun survey!🙌🏽 (edited) 13mo

Susanita This was a great quiz! I‘m sorry I can‘t remember any specific answers, but I‘m with the others who say keep your mitts off my spuds! (I worked on it while the “outlaws” were discussing politics.) 13mo

kspenmoll This was such fun!!!! 13mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤩😂🤩 13mo

dabbe @vonnie862 Agree 💯! 13mo

dabbe @Catsandbooks Especially if it was Westminster, right? 🤩😍🤩 13mo

dabbe @DieAReader I don't know about the turkey-flavored whipped cream. 🤢🤩😍 13mo

dabbe @Singout Hmm. How would one eat without any hands--like a pig at a trough? I meant cutlery and changed it. Thanks for your keen eyes and editing savvy! 🤩😍🤩 13mo

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin Hope your day was a special one, too! That was a fun one, wasn't it? 🤩😍🤩 13mo

dabbe @Susanita I knew you were a smart lady! #outlaws 🤩😂😍 13mo

dabbe @kspenmoll 🤩😘🤩 13mo

Bklover Thanks for the tag- I‘m a bit late! I can‘t remember specific answers but I do know I‘d be eating a LOT of turkey! 13mo

Singout Introvert choices: a small intimate dinner, welcoming a stranger (we should do this more anyway), a prayer instead of a toast because I already have some scripts even though I hate doing it. 13mo

dabbe @Bklover I know I would be, too! 🤩😂🤗 13mo
