#Frenemies

Chapter 12 and epilogue…. I‘ve been thinking about this quote for the last 4 chapters, so I‘m just gonna leave it at this! #toxicfriendship #frenemies #jealousy #pettyreviews #betteroffapart #pemberlittens

AllDebooks Absolutely this. All that nastiness was hard to read. I did enjoy reading about the authors friendship in the epilogue too. 2y
TheBookHippie THIS. Quite a long while ago I gave a 'speech' at a PTA meeting that if nothing else you do NOT tear down that other mom simply because she is a WOMAN. You do not have to like other women or even what they do or say or how they act, HOWEVER try to remember that the PATRIARCHY DEPENDS on us staying divided. And just extend grace. 2y

TheBookHippie Also weirdly I felt this book was a bit a anti female instead of the feminist book I think it wanted to be? I'm not sure. I have mixed feelings I am still sorting out. Many parts I did love the information, it seems how it was used may be problematic? I need to think on it more. I do thank you for leading! You do such a fantastic job! 2y
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie I totally agree. I feel like the authors spent a little too much time on the negative parts and not enough time on the positive aspects. 2y
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRun I guess that is it. It is quite unfortunate because they could have made it so great. 2y
DebinHawaii @BarkingMadRun @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks YES!! To all of this! I have been thinking throughout almost every chapter but especially the last several, that if this is what friendship between female authors is like, let me never be in this kind of friendship! 😱 So much tearing down! I have not read the epilogue yet. 2y
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I‘m so glad it wasn‘t just me. 😅 it is sad, because it just perpetuates this belief, of nasty women whom are intelligent, and I don‘t think it is actually reality. 2y
Daisey I didn‘t have time today for this last chapter, but I completely get this opinion. I appreciate the information, but felt it could have been expressed better. 2y

How I spent my Sunday. I stayed away from social media and read the whole book in one day. I haven't done that in a few years. It was the perfect light frothy romance I needed and I loved it. I'll be sure to read the next two. Another 329 pages for #NovelNovember for a total of 681 of my 700-page goal. Also #Frenemies for #Booked2021 @Andrew65 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Cinfhen Yay!!!! I love to unplug some days!! So glad the book delivered 🥳 2y

To fulfill the #frenemies prompt for @Booked2021, I chose this “classic.“ Admittedly, I've never seen the show -- too much teen drama and scandal for me. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining -- just not so entertaining that I had an overwhelming desire to keep reading the series. (I totally cheated and read the Wikipedia entry to figure out the answer to the my biggest unanswered question!)

@cinfhen @Barbarathebibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Cinfhen Hahaha, that‘s probably the review I would have written if I read this book!! Loved how you used Wiki to get the answers you needed!!! That was heads-up thinking 😍🤓🙌🏻 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I hear you with the teenage angst. It‘s one reason I struggle with any YA book. 🤩 2y

#BookReport

All finished books are 4 🌟 reads accept for the tagged book which was 2 🌟. It was my #Bookspin and my Frenemies #Booked2021.

I am trying Shadow of the Wind on audio and moved from audio to print for Dr. Z. I have to say I‘m still a little confused but not ready to throw in the towel yet. Villette is for my last Booked prompt..lesser known book.

Still behind on Warmth but hope to be caught up soon.

Cinfhen Too bad your choice for #Frenemies wasn‘t great 😔 2y
Cinfhen I loved the Hoffman 2y
TheAromaofBooks I'm hoping to read Shadow of the Wind this month as well, but haven't started it yet. Great week!!! 2y
BkClubCare Wow - you‘ve got some great books here - and so varied! 2y

Cinfhen Woohoo 🙌🏻 @KarenUK #booked2022 is going to be CHALLENGING 😅but totally worth it 💕💕💕 2y
TracyReadsBooks I‘m very interested to hear what you think of Harlem Shuffle. 2y
Cinfhen It was disappointing @TracyReadsBooks I found it similar to Deacon King Kong but not as memorable. It was definitely missing something 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y
TracyReadsBooks @Cinfhen I agree with you 💯! (And half suspect I might already have done so when you posted your review and just don‘t remember 😂) 2y
Singout Wow!!! You go! 2y
TrishB Definitely frenemies and may also be latinx author (need to check that one!) 2y
Cinfhen We definitely had this conversation before @TracyReadsBooks 😁but at least we haven‘t changed our opinions 😘 2y
Cinfhen Thanks @Singout I‘m READY for #Booked2022!!! 2y
Cinfhen LatinX shouldn‘t be too difficult @TrishB but #Frenemies is a bit tricky!! My choice was fun but not 💯 memorable 2y
Cinfhen I think C might like it too @TrishB 2y
BarbaraBB Excited for #Booked2022!! 💃💝 2y
TrishB I think C will definitely like that 👍🏻 2y
Cinfhen When are you unveiling #ReadingAfrica @BarbaraBB ??? 2y
BarbaraBB In November too I think. And we should post a reminder about #DecemberChill! Will send you an email about it soon! 2y
Cinfhen Yes!!! Definitely a reminder for #DecemberChill @BarbaraBB 2y
TracyReadsBooks @Cinfhen It was starting to sound a little familiar! 😂 The brain is aging…or maybe I just can‘t get over my disappointment with the book. 🤷‍♀️ 2y
Cinfhen Hahaha 🤣 @TracyReadsBooks it‘s probably a little of both 😘 2y
Bookzombie I‘m excited to see the new prompts! I think I have three to go for this year. 2y
Cinfhen Can‘t wait to share them with you @Bookzombie I think a few are SUPER CHALLENGING 🤭🤓😅 2y

I have seen mixed reviews for this book, but it hit the creepy mark for me. I highly recommend the audio if you pick it up.
In 1959, all of the residents of Silvertjarn, except a dead body hanging on a pole and an infant, found alive, disappear. Now, Alice and four other documentary crew members return to the old mining village to find out what happened. The story unfolds flipping back and forth between 1959 and now.

Reggie Is it found footage? Is there shaky cam? Lol have you watched Hellhouse. There‘s a trilogy but they all have their creepy moments. It‘s found footage of these people putting a haunted house up in a haunted hotel. Good stuff. 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie Lol. The crew is actually there to get video and more details for their Kickstarter so they can fund the full documentary. I haven‘t watched Hellhouse. I will have to check it out. 2y
Cinfhen This sounds delightfully creepy!! 2y
