The Bayou | Arden Powell

Pickpick

The waters of the bayou are rising. People from town are disappearing. & Eugene finds himself entranced by the Bonnie & Clyde pair that‘s swept into town.

Wow can Powell set a scene! I could feel the heaviness of a Louisiana summer against my skin. & the insidious creeping horror as we don‘t know really know anything that‘s going on. Really reminds me of Alma Katsu‘s historical horror. & I‘m definitely going to look up more by Powell. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern General warning for dealing with death of a child, and specific warnings for Chapter XV gunshot suicide, Chapter XVII sexual assault/murder of a child 9h

Nothing against the writing, because it was lovely, but this book was not my vibe. I tried to read it 8 seperate times. It was long, boring , confusing with little payoff...for me

Read for library book group: at last, something I could get my teeth into!

Set in the Victorian London shark-tank (that the Tories are intent on dragging us back to), artist's model and aspiring painter Iris seeks to live on her own terms, within the cultural corsetry that is the male gaze.
Personally, I could have done without the romance, but then we'd not have seen how similar Louis's attentions were to Silas's (just a difference of degree?)

I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via NetGalley.
I‘m a sucker for a great cover, and this one was incredible. Let Him In is an explosive debut from William Friend.
A grieving father left to raise his 6 year old twins is struggling to cope. One night, he finds his girls standing at the foot of his be. Naturally, upon looking, he finds no man anywhere in their house…

It started really good. But i slowly kinda lost interest in it unfortunately.

I am HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS of this costume suggestion Danny has provided. Did Rebecca always dress as this portrait? Or will Jan look like Rebecca when she is dressed up? It‘s too easy… something awful is going to happen. This is a long chapter! #hashtagbrigade

BarkingMadRead This was 💯 a set up, I‘m guessing because of rebecca? The reaction was awful! I felt so bad for Jan! 3d
Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead It has to have something to do with Rebecca! She is the title of the book after all 😂 3d
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 3d
