pickUnique and hauntingly intense. I am ruined. Filled with both hope and despair. I know it‘s early, but this is probably going to be my best book of the year. It‘s definitely on my ‘you should read this‘ list.
pickSuch a terrifying, unsettling book. The lack of details only makes it more so - we only know what the narrator does, which is not a lot given that she has lived her life in captivity. The whole book is like a nightmare, as the back cover aptly points out. Nevertheless, I was riveted and like the narrator, looking for answers and meaning until the end.
It's not yet midnight here so i can still say HAPPY #BOOKSPIN DAY to all who celebrate! I think my March draws are an interesting combo and I'm most excited for my DoubleSpin which is the tagged. My BookSpin this month is a little chunkier than the rest of my list because it's actually a two for one volume.
so-soI deeply appreciate this book written by a Jewish author whose family survived nazi Germany. It is a ditopic philosophical novel. I did not enjoy the reading experience. 2.5 🌟
Miraculously just finished this one with an hour to spare, and it‘s so far out of my comfort zone I don‘t know what to say except I liked it?? I stayed up past my bedtime a few nights just to get a few more pages in and I haven‘t done that in ages.
pickY'all. Katherine Arden is just...magical. So...what if ghost stories and folktales associated with war were real (i.e. what if a fiddler really was on that roof?) This book, like all her books, beautifully weaves folk stories and reality, and I CANNOT get enough of her!
