Castle of Water: A Novel | Dane Huckelbridge
post image
Pickpick

Kristin Hannah‘s blurb sums it up nicely: “A unique, inventive exploration of love, loss, and survival.”

I‘d also add that it‘s a subtle and surprising treasure to read a book that has zero unlikeable characters.

There are tense moments and some sad and maddening scenes and events within, but also much humor, human foibles, and love. A quick and engrossing read, I enjoyed this fully! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I couldn‘t decide between the two so I posted both. A classic Agatha Christie and an exciting middle grade book about a boy shipwrecked on an island. Tagging @Karisimo for tagged book.

I‘ve recommended this book to so many people. It‘s short and packs a big punch (and, it doesn‘t get the buzz I think it deserves).

The other “C” book that was really fantastic was Columbine.

This book is hitting a lot of the themes for today: having Friday as a character, a C in the title for Crusoe, and an all around great book to read about a cast away.

If you are looking for a beach read this will be perfect. Clarke sets the mood quickly as you feel Erin's desperation to find out what has happened to her sister, Lori. Regrets and secrets follow every character as the truth unravels. With hints of 'Lost' and 'Castaway' this is a quick read mystery.

Sophie and Barry find themselves stuck on an island. They don‘t necessarily get a long at first but quickly realise that they need each other for survival.

I felt like I was on an island with the characters while reading this book. There were glimpses of the present day throughout it and I kept on thinking of how it will end…
