Disappointing

The King of Bones and Ashes | J. D. Horn

pick

This is a good book once you get past the beginning where it was slow to start but once it did it was a page turner. Set in New Orleans post Katrina we have evil and magical cats and a mix of characters that are interesting and engaging.

erinreads You had me at evil and magical cats! 😹 3y

Read-y_Picker I have the whole series but keep pushing it off... Tried listening to the audio of this one and found it hard to follow. I think reading it will be more effective.

@erinreads if that's the magic combo for you I recommend my current read

Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries

KristiAhlers @Read-y_Picker yeah I put it off too. Once you get past the first 25 pages the author hits his stride. And I‘m totally checking out that other book! Thanks for the recommendation! 3y

On the Sofa with Jane Austen | Maggie Lane

pick

“Dear Mary Crawford,

As one of your warmest admirers, I am always so sorry when you find yourself shut out from Mansfield ... Your morality can hardly be in question, ... you did try to bring [Edmund] round with your saucy smile, but unfortunately on that occasion it only made things worse.“

😂

I love Maggie Lane's tongue-in-cheek analysis! I've never found Mary's fate disappointing, but Lane makes some excellent points. Each essay is superb!

The Goddesses: A Novel | Swan Huntley

#MarchMadness #disappointing

Playing catch up on prompts today.
This book came to mind as a friend was just asking me about it, attracted (as I was) to its setting on The Big Island. The setting & Kona vibe the author captured were the only things I really enjoyed about this one—I found the story not as dark & twisty as I wanted & the characters annoying. It was disappointing overall.

so-so

I had high hopes for this book but it was a little #disappointing. It was touted as a great feminist novel, and it started strongly, with humorous attacks on the diet and beauty industries, but a poorly developed sub-plot in the second half, and a move toward almost misandry, suggests the author is not yet ready to execute the Great Feminist Novel.

The book had a lot of life lesson to teach but the prose was lacking.

Norwegian Wood | Haruki Murakami

so-so

Where to begin?
Toru Watanabe, in his late 30s, hears the Beatles song and transports himself to college days. I could relate to the nostalgia of that - so, a nice premise to start with, but the story was #disappointing. A coming-of-Age story with the complexities of loss, obsession, abuse, suicide, and casual sex - perhaps more relevant for younger adult readers. But I needed more resolution and was left adrift.
