FictionalTraveler

pick

I've seen the movie many years ago, so I knew what was to come.
But even knowing the big twist, I still found this very enticing and entertaining. All the subtle foreshadowing throughout the book, the tiny details one would miss on a first read.
All done masterfully.

All Your Children, Scattered | Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse

Not a bad #BookSpinBingo month. I finished the tagged for #FoodandLit, #Rwanda. The Book Censor's Library was my #DoubleSpin and also fits #OffMyShelf - #InvolvesBooks; The Colour and Dance on the Volcano were for #192025; Indigenous Pacific Islander anthology worked for #FictionalTraveler and was my #BookSpin. There are a couple of #1001Books, and several for a global reading project.

Most importantly, I have two bingos!

Sun Trap | Rachel Wolf

An entertaining thrill ride from the start, this was an enjoyable read. Sun Trap follows a Hollywood movie crew to the Abu Dhabi desert, where the filmmaking gets deadly. This is one of the books with constant action. I was invested in the story although I did not feel connected to the characters at all. Especially after the half way mark there was twist after twist after twist. Also, is this not one of the most gorgeous covers you've ever seen?

Yuki_Onna Thank you, Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!

Family secrets are revealed and new and old loves are found when a grandmother and granddaughter make a summer visit to the Italian island where their family is from.

so-so

A cute hopeful read about finding the magic to believe in yourself.

It wasn't really my thing, but I do recommend for anyone looking for an easy beach read.

This book was borrowed to fulfill this month's #fictionaltraveler prompt because, evidently, I don't read many books that are set on islands.
