pick

Wow - this book is breath-taking. The writing is an honest and raw examination of the lengths we go through to be loved by others. How much of ourselves do we forfeit to be desirable to another? How much abuse do we take? Through the narrator we learn that sometimes being with someone is lonelier than solitude. This is a book about self-loathing, desire, and desperation. Dark, difficult, and full of depth. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Megabooks I‘m reading this now and really enjoying it 3y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Yes It was. Both of them and @TheNerdyProfessor loving it... leaves us no choice I guess 😉 3y

mhillis Great review! I must read it!! 3y

Cinfhen It‘s $23.99 on Prime @BarbaraBB so I‘m gonna wait and see if I can find it for less 😫 3y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen It is 16€ on BookDepository. I‘m tempted! 3y

Cinfhen I know!!! I might just buy it too @BarbaraBB #BadInfluence xxx 3y

Cinfhen I think I‘m gonna buy it on my Kindle @BarbaraBB ❤️👌🏾 3y

TheNerdyProfessor @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @megabooks I really hope you enjoy it! It is similar to My Dark Vanessa in terms of darkness but has the feeling of reading someone's diary. And at times I could relate to the narrator even when I didn't want to. 3y

BarbaraBB It sounds very intriguing! 3y

Megabooks @TheNerdyProfessor I finished it this morning! Definitely a fantastic book! 3y

Our Kind of Cruelty: A Novel | Araminta Hall

#BookoftheMonth is LIVE! 🎉 Having a second #BOTM account is dangerous! 🤣 I chose five books this month (even though my #TBR is out of control). My main pick was #OurKindofCruelty because it received high praise from #GillianFlynn. I added #TheAnimators b/c it‘s the June #LitsyBuddyRead pick. Everyone keeps raving about #Circe, so even though it‘s not my typical genre, I added it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Which book(s) did you pick?

LauraJ You just made me want to rejoin. #MustResist! 6y

AmyG I may choose Circe against my better judgement because my TBR is insane. 6y

Reviewsbylola The Animators is fantastic. I only got one book, Beads! 6y

Jess7 Haha! That‘s awesome! You should, but I‘m probably a #badinfluence when it comes to book buying! You can always cancel later if you change your mind 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ @LauraJ 6y

2BR02B I've started allowing myself to buy as many botm books as I read the previous month, so at least my tbr isn't actively growing anymore. At one point I went like four months without reading any of my picks, and it exploded. 6y

kgriffith Aaaaahhhhhhh I‘m so excited for

Circe

ReaderthenBlogger I picked The Girl Who Smiled Beads. 6y

Jess7 @TheLibrarian what did you choose? (edited) 6y

TheLibrarian @Jess7 Circe, The Oracle Year, Our Kind of Cruelty, The Windfall (for #FreakyFriday) and As Bright As Heaven. 6y

Jess7 I knew you wouldn‘t just get 1 or 2! 🤣 @TheLibrarian - those sound good. I looked at Windfall but didn‘t get it. It looks good 6y

Hooked_on_books I picked The Oracle Year and The Last Equation from last month. Did they finally fix the credit issue? 6y

Jess7 Yes! It was fixed - there were boxes underneath each extra book if you wanted to pay $9.99 for it instead of using a credit @Hooked_on_books 6y

Hooked_on_books @Jess7 That‘s great! My membership renews with the new terms next month, so I‘m glad to know it‘s fixed. I was wondering whether or not to renew, but now I definitely will. 6y

Jess7 @guinsgirlreads - see i have a #botmbuyingproblem 🤣 but I am not alone — I can always count on @TheLibrarian to buy just as many (and often more than I do) 🤓🤗📚 if you‘re looking book recommendations she is a good one to follow bc her personal library is insane! So many new and awesome books! 6y
