Listened/read in one night. That does not happen too often so when I say I was pulled in I honestly mean I could not put this down. World building, slow burn, tension it was all there. I NEED the next book now. The audiobook narrator was great. It was not always an easy book as the characters really go through some trauma but just know that #juliesoto does and will do justice to these characters. #audiobook #romantasy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Detective Aunty: A Novel | Uzma Jalaluddin

Pickpick

Uzma Jalaluddin has outdone herself: fascinating characters, excellent mystery plot w/ many threads, and a lovingly rendered setting. An aunty returns to Toronto when her daughter's landlord has been found murdered in her store. Gentrification, police incompetence/bias/immorality, grief, marriage/divorce in Muslim communities, friendship, family. I absolutely loved this, as thoughtful as it is page-turning. Standout #audiobook performance!

IriDas This looks great. 2d

In the first part, a group of travelers gathers at a castle, but they‘ve lost the ability to speak. So, they take turns telling their stories through tarot cards. These felt a bit like The Canterbury Tales, and I enjoyed them. The second part had a similar setup, but the stories included more literary references and weren‘t quite as enjoyable to me.

Daisey The author‘s note about the writing process was interesting, and the illustrated edition described seems the best way to read it.

Leniverse With Calvino I seem to always enjoy the first few pages, but then he does something relentlessly literary and slow paced where it feels like he's tossed in all the most unusual words in the thesaurus, and the effect puts me to sleep. 4d
Daisey @Leniverse Well, good to know I‘m not alone. At least I‘ll be prepared for the next one. 4d
