I'm now joining the party, even though I usually don't read hyped books. It wasn't such a big hit to me like it was to many others, but it definitely is a very good book. I was surprised to find out that the story is more queer than I thought it would be. Loved the journey through the years and agree that Evelyn definitely is an interesting character.

Reading what Jeanette Winterson wrote about the importance of books in her childhood brought me to tears. ❤️

lil1inblue "All of us, when in deep trauma,
find we hesitate, we stammer;
there are long pauses in our
speech. The thing is stuck. We
get our language back through
the language of others. We can
turn to the poem. We can open
the book. Somebody has been
there for us and deep-dived the
words."

Yes, I'm late. But it was so, so hard! But I finally managed to make a decision. And wow, yes, that book totally broke me and is still breaking me whenever I think about it.

Thank you for the Reading Bracket @CSeydel

CSeydel Nice bracket! I‘ve been wanting to read this one. Interesting to see how they changed the title for the German version! 2d
Jari-chan @CSeydel I can only recommend it (obviously), but it's not an easy read in any way. And yes, it's an interesting change. I wonder why they changed it. 2d
TheKidUpstairs Such a beautifully written book. Difficult, yes, but so well done. This one kept me up at night. 2d

Circusy historical fantasy with a found family and a merman romance? Yes please. This was sweet. It‘s from @rachelsbrittain ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. Plus this cover 😍.

I think I forgot to tag my review to the last book I read for #bookishmonopoly - oh, dear. Whatever. My next roll landed me on E-Book, and since I don't have any unread e-books around, I went with a loan from our online library.

I have to admit that I had to get used to the gamer language first, but that done I really enjoyed reading this book. Especially because we learn so much more about the story behind the story through Hall's comments. Even though I never gamed like this, I did experience some of the behaviors the author criticize and more than once I could really feel with Kit. So glad I'm not 19 anymore.
