In My Dreams I Hold a Knife: A Novel | Ashley Winstead

so-so

On the fence here…I was eager for it to wrap up so I could learn the truth about who did “it”, but at the same time just wanted it to be over…? Felt too long and too twisty, if that‘s a thing. Unlikeable college friends back together at their homecoming reunion and the memories of their time in college help readers understand how a member of their circle was murdered. Who is innocent and who is to blame? The focus shifts constantly.

ShyBookOwl Hmm.. tentatively stacking this one lol 2y

The Chocolate War | Robert Cormier

New audiobook combined with old paperback that is sitting on my shelves unread. #libby #mttbr #booked2022 #darkacademianovel

DivineDiana @Alfoster How wonderful! I just discovered that it was a banned book. 2y

Alfoster @DivineDiana What?? It‘s been so long! Why was it banned? I don‘t remember anything that controversial…😱 2y

DivineDiana @Alfoster “excessive violence, sexual content and profanity” 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y

Alfoster @DivineDiana OMG! Now I‘ll have to re-read and see. I‘m shocked though! 2y

DivineDiana It‘s mild so far. Cruelty/ violence from Brother Leon. I can definitely see that this would make for great discussion with teens. (edited) 2y

The Grimrose Girls | Laura Pohl

pick

This YA dark mystery with a hint of the supernatural, set at an exclusive Swiss boarding school was a lot of fun. There were a few elements of the plot that were derivative, and had me wishing they were a bit more original, but I still found it really easy to get lost in the story. #LGBTQBookBingo #ARedCover #PopSugar2022 #ByALatinXAuthor #Booked2022 #DarkAcademiaNovel @Kenyazero @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft

IndoorDame I think if I went into this thinking I was reading a fairy tale retelling I would have loved it, but maybe that would have given away key points too early to be fun? 2y

Cinfhen Sounds like a great choice!! Covered SO MANY prompts 🥳🥳 2y

alisiakae All the prompts! 🎉💯 2y
