#BOTM says there's something wrong with my address, despite living here 20+ years and getting my delivery from them perfectly fine (almost) every month since 2020. 😫
I emailed them. Hopefully they'll try again.
Also, I am soooo ready for spring 🌱🪻🌿

TheBookHippie Oh dear. 2d

AnnCrystal 🥺 Crazy! 🤨. (edited) 2d

bookandbedandtea @TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal They are resending it. 😊 I believe this was a post office issue, not BOTM, so hopefully USPS will have it together this time. 🤞🏻 23h

bookandbedandtea @readingwithbrian Good grief! Gotta wonder how an empty box happens.🤦‍♀️ I'm glad they were helpful with resolving that! 23h

AnnCrystal @bookandbedandtea that's good 👏🏼☺️🤞🏼📚💝. 21h

Broken Country | Clare Leslie Hall

pick

What an emotional roller coaster of a US debut! I absolutely loved this heart wrenching drama set mostly in the 1960s in a small English village. A love triangle with fatal consequences told in a dual timeline quickly becomes impossible to put down! Beth‘s literary dreams turn into a fulfilling life on a farm until her first love returns home & all of their lives change forever. Some surprises are easy to see but some jaw-dropping ones remain!

AmyG Good to know it‘s a good book! I love surprises. (edited) 3d

TorieStorieS @AmyG I loved this one!! Plus, I‘m glad it‘s a #BOTM add-on for the month! 3d

ShelleyBooksie Based on the synopsis there is harm that comes to an animal - is it revisited a lot in the book? 3d

See All 7 Comments

TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie It‘s one brutal scene with death to 4 animals total. It‘s in the beginning & isn‘t really revisited in detail (though it‘s mentioned again once). While this type of scene usually is enough to really detract from the book for me, it‘s like a bloody bit of foreshadowing for the rest of the emotional ride the book gives. It‘s not a gratuitous scene, but with the farm setting, the mortality of animals is present but not pervasive. 3d

TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie It‘s a predator/prey situation that involves lethality for all animals involved. It‘s horrible, but didn‘t make me cry. If that helps at all$ 3d

ShelleyBooksie Thank you @TorieStorieS - I really appreciate that detail. The book sounds really good but I had been avoiding it. 2d

TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie No problem— I was hesitant about it, too, but I ended up really loving it (maybe in part because my expectations were low?)— if you do read it, I definitely want to know what you think of it! 😊 2d

Severance: A Novel | Ling Ma

Once again, super late posting about monthly challenges!! Luckily one on my #roll100 choices was my #bookspin! I think my #doublespin was on the #camplitsy24 longlist, and that‘s why I bought it! Hoping I can get to Turbulence as well because it‘s a favorite short story collection.

Right now I‘m reading Mothers and Sons by Adam Haslett from the library, and my #botm choice Care and Feeding by Bourdain‘s assistant Laurie Woolever. ⬇️

Megabooks Laurie worked for now-disgraced celebrity chef Mario Batali before she worked for Bourdain, and he was an a-hole and pig. Groped every female employee. Seemed to get off on denigrating every employee. Glad he was exposed!!!! 3d

Bookwormjillk Ew. Such a disappointment. (Batali) (edited) 3d

Megabooks @Bookwormjillk truly. It proves (again) you never know what a celebrity is like in real life. I enjoyed his shows on Food Network, but yeah, he deserved his comeuppance! 3d

#botm arrived today! I've read The Change twice and have the ebook but decided to treat myself to a pretty print copy. Feels like it might be the right time to read it again, given current events.

AmyG The Wedding People and The Change are wonderful! 4d

Wild Dark Shore | Charlotte McConaghy

pick

I loved ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES, so I was thrilled to dive into the audio of McConaghy‘s latest and one of this month‘s #BOTM selections. It‘s a riveting premise— a woman washes up on Shearwater Island near Antarctica where the seed bank there and island is crumbling into the rising seas. A father & his three children remain— along with their secrets, as it all comes to light in the wake of their new arrival. Heartbreaking yet beautifully written!

Karisimo Yes, this was so good! 6d

TorieStorieS @Karisimo I think I enjoyed OTWW a bit more, but I really couldn‘t stop listening to this one! 6d

BarbaraBB I am in the midst of it and don‘t want it to end. Have you read this one yet?

BarbaraBB Yes and I liked it at least as much as Wolves, probably even more! 6d

Karisimo I liked this one more than Wolves! Still need to read Migrations… 6d

TorieStorieS @BarbaraBB Ooo! Now I am even more excited to listen! I just have a couple Audio ARCs to listen to first! 🥳 6d

TorieStorieS @Karisimo Well I will be sure to post my review of Migrations! 😊 6d

BarbaraBB Looking forward to it! 5d
