I really like the fairy tale elements with Doxta the witch woven into the sci-fi story. This arc had a great twist and cliffhanger.

So Much Blue: A Novel | Percival Everett

This is a triple (& sometimes more) timeline book, or perhaps more accurately, a three places book: “house” in Philadelphia where Kevin‘s wife and kids live, Paris where he had an affair, and El Salvador (right before its civil war in 1979) where he goes with his best friend Richard to find his friend‘s brother who went missing there. The House chapters jump around in time as Kevin tells us about events in his family‘s life. The storyline ⬇️

Texreader in El Salvador is ugly, brutal, profane, and scary. The events there affected him so deeply that it seems even he didn‘t realize the impact it had on the rest of his life. Kevin is an artist, telling his stories in slight part in the colors he paints. He‘s sometimes not the brightest father or husband making questionable decisions. The 1979 chapters keep the story moving in a dramatic fashion, and almost impossible to put down. #authoramonth 2h

The translation of Les Miserables is around 1400 pages and never felt like a slog,not even once.

This was one of my absolute favourite,edge of the seat adventure books when I was a kid.I could probably read it now and still love it!
From a children's book,definitely George Kirrin of The Famous Five,not perfect at all,straining against the constraints of girlhood,a clever rebellion against expected behaviours.
I read The Long Goodbye and would give it all the stars!!

I‘m starting this audiobook today to get a head start on our next read for #whattheDickens in June. @Cuilin

Cuilin As I was organizing a reminder post yesterday, I was thinking Karen will have this finished by the end of June and now I think you might have it finished by the end of May lol. Enjoy, I can‘t wait to hear what you think. 2h
Cuilin I will listen to this one too, because I love Juliet Stevenson as a narrator. 1h

I was wondering whether to carry on with this series, because one of the main character‘s behaviour was so appalling that it was grating on me. But this, the fifth in the series, turned it to a bit of a whodunnit and now I want to carry on and read the rest of the series!

I‘m glad I finally read this one. It‘s been on my shelf for a long time. It hit hard and showed how quickly life and circumstances can change. Will you look away, will you be persistent in helping, will you see past the first level and look deeper?
