100% forgot to post this @Kshakal ! Thank you for the lovely #cbbc box! #coffeebeanbookclub
pickA drugs-related kidnapping of a young lad: not a book I'd have picked up, were it not for its #bookerprize longlisting.
I enjoyed the characterisation (poor Dev, especially, and hapless Doll, and prematurely adult Nicky). There's something feels not quite complete about it though, and it could do with one more edit: not least to clear up the nonsensical imagery I kept tripping over (eg. the appearance of a distant building compared to an aspirin).
Amy, I love when I know you‘ve gifted me a favorite book of yours 😊 Thank you so much, not just for fantastic gifts, but also for a friendship I cherish!!
After twelve “completed“ chapters, I have decided to DNF this.
It is a shame that this couldn't engage my interests. Had Irish, Christmas, mix POV, and seemed a sweet read. While I loved the setting, I couldn't connect with any of the characters. And it doesn't feel Christmassy enough!
Terrible of me, that I probably would have found this interesting if one of the characters had been of the supernatural kind or there had been a ghost.

pickI went in blind and that wasn‘t at all what I was expecting. But in a good way. So dark and ugly and lovely. But I really want Sally to be okay.
so-soI heard this one raved about on a podcast, but it didn‘t quite work for me. It‘s a family story and I liked the bits of the story itself, but the structure on audio really didn‘t work. It jumps around in time without any pauses or notice that that‘s what‘s happening and it was confusing and distracting.
Thank you @kspenmoll i love everything!!!!! Thank you @Avanders i think i may start that witches book this week
