pickSlow to start, but worth the patience. Queer pain in a patriarchal village makes for heavy reading, but the mystery pulls you in. Loved the ace representation. A quiet, layered story that rewards you for staying with it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #GenreBending
Considering at this time last week, I only had two prompts completed, it feels good to be able to post my wrap up of this quarter‘s #booked2019.

“It is truly unfair that the only person capable of healing my fury is the one who has given me my deepest, coldest scars.” (p. 354)

“Tempers flare. Maybe there‘s some cussing. Maybe even a fight. But tempers fade eventually. Doubt lingers. Burrows through your heart, steals away your happiness. Slowly consumes you from within.” (p. 165)

“And truth in the hands of a duplicitous person is perhaps the most dangerous weapon of all.” (p. 85)

so-soFinally, finally finished this one... overall, it‘s not the worst book I‘ve ever read, but IMHO, it is very boring with a weak plot. The character are mostly uninteresting, and at times the time skips feel like a crutch. However, the last 60 pages actually make the book worth reading and has some really beautiful lines and imagery. I give it 🌟🌟.. the ending is its saving grace... #pbc #genrebending @Wife

so-so#GenreSwapPBC #genrebending Group A
I finished last month, but mailing today. So, Becky, you will have it soon. I don‘t want to give any spoilers, but just say I‘m happy to have read it. Only a so-so because it had a couple slow spots. 3/5 ⭐️s
I‘m nervous about a couple of my reads coming from the group, but I‘m brave and determined. 😬
Background is the puzzle my grandson and I worked on last night.
pickNow I want like ten more dystopian cozy mysteries. Immediately.
Genre mash-ups are high risk, high reward - and this one is a joy. It's like watching Midsommer Murders after the apocalypse.

Ok so this is the book I choose for #genreswapPBC and I‘m feeling a tad overwhelmed... see, confession time: I don‘t keep a book journal while I read so I‘m not sure what I need to be noting... I feel like I should be filling a notebook with my thoughts on every paragraph, but that feels exhausting... and it‘s affecting my reading because I‘m too focused on what I should be noting... any tips for this novice noted?? #genrebending
