I‘ve been meaning to get to this book for ages. 40 women locked in a bunker for years, not abused, just living their lives, day after day, guards bringing them food. How did they get there? What happens to their minds? How are they living like this? It‘s narrated by the youngest among them, the one who‘s thinking the clearest. I couldn‘t put it down.

sarahbarnes I still think about this one. So good. 1d
Lesliereadsalot Yes, really amazing. @sarahbarnes 1d
BarbaraBB So good. I still visualize that environment 1d
Lesliereadsalot Yes so awful. And never knowing how they got there. @BarbaraBB 1d

repost for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa:

Next up for #SheSaid

Our next pick is fiction this month. And there are no chapters or parts. So read when you can, enjoy the spring or fall depending on where you are. And I will see you all at the end of the month to discuss this book.

Put in your library holds & interlibrary loans…. Make sure you request in translation for your area.

Julsmarshall The wait times from my library were wild but this one is so intriguing, I didn‘t want to wait. Ebook is only $9 so an impulse buy on this rainy day off seemed like a good idea :) 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser it usually works well for our fiction reads, which tends to work out well in the spring and winter holiday season. I little more laid back….so you can get out and do picnic, graduation, garden things when the weather is good…and then holiday get togethers, planning, shopping, cooking things. This one with no chapters or sections just said, nope no structure. 😂 2d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Suet624 it‘s not very long, so plenty of time. 2d
vlwelser I thrive under no structure. 😂 2d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser I know, I kind of prefer it for fiction myself. Non-fiction can be more difficult that way. At least for me and for denser reads, for me breaking them down into section seems to help. But as always it really does depend on the book. 1d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser our last book could have worked really well as a end of the month discussion. Some of the more academically written it‘s nice to be able to talk about the specific things in different sections 1d
vlwelser I think with the last book because it was so long we all ended up on different timelines. Which made discussing it slightly disjointed 23h

It‘s definitely dystopian, no closure, depressing, not even sure I liked the main character, yet somehow, I loved it.

Soubhiville Yes! Same! 1w

3.5 Stars • The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden is a gripping, emotional ride through World War I. Nurse Laura Iven hunts for her lost brother Freddie in a war-ravaged world, blending raw history with a touch of spooky magic. Arden‘s beautiful writing pulls you into the heartbreak and horror, with a creepy figure, Faland, adding chills. A must-read for anyone who loves deep, atmospheric stories.

My sister recommended this to me, and I really liked it. It‘s a translated dystopian story about a girl who grew up in an underground prison with 39 women. They have no idea why they are imprisoned. One day they hear sirens and the guards run off while the door is open, and they venture out into the world.

It‘s a short book but spans the MC‘s entire life. Strange and haunting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Haunting, intense, loneliness, love, survival, self reflection.

What does it mean to be human. Powerful read! I wish more people were aware of this book.

Lesliereadsalot Got this one coming up! So glad you liked it. 1mo
BookMaven9 You definitely won‘t forget it. 1mo

I just started this one, and I can honestly say I have no idea where I am. 🤣 Apparently, it is underground somewhere.
