Burial Rites | Hannah Kent

As we approach our June 30th discussion of The Chelsea Girls for #LiteraryCrew , July‘s #BuddyRead is right around the corner!

Burial Rites is one of my favorite books, and I thrilled the group voted to read this one this year. It‘s dark, compassionate, slow burning, and hauntingly beautiful.

Absolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew

The Chelsea Girls | Fiona Davis

We follow the friendship of Hazel and Maxine. They met on a USO tour at the end of WWII. The core of the story takes place during the McCarthy witch-hunt of communists in the entertainment industry. I listened to this on audio and I didn‘t care for the narrator for Maxine, even though I really liked the character. I enjoyed the story overall even if it got a little cheesy at times. But didn‘t really love the end. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle Glad you liked this! 1w

Sargar114 It was a fun listen @Librarybelle Good Pick! 1w

I started reading this book a year ago for #LiteraryCrew but put it aside at some point as I couldn‘t seem to get through it at the time. Fast forward to now when I picked it up again and finished the last 1/3 in 3 days! I had no problem getting back into the story and loved the ending. 5/5⭐️

#LiteraryCrew : I am so sorry I fizzled on my hostess duties this month! My priories were caring for Zeke, so lots of things fell through the cracks.

That being said, I have 6 discussion questions posted as spoilers; they can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. I did not get to read this one, but the reviews I read make this sound amazing! Hope you enjoyed!

mcctrish I never got to it either - couldn‘t seem to get my hands on a copy and now I‘m ready for June already 🤷🏻‍♀️ you always pick such great books 3w

CatLass007 I haven‘t even started this book yet. Molly‘s not doing well but she‘s holding her own. I only can blame my library for all my holds coming in at once. 3w

Librarybelle If you do get to it, it sounds fascinating @mcctrish @CatLass007 . The reviews I read highlight a strong female cast, hence the classification of a feminist retelling. Maybe I can read this soon… 3w

5. One reviewer mentioned the vividness of the landscape and that the strong sense of place and setting could almost be considered a character in the novel. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin Tintagle is still on my bucket list of places to visit. 3w

LeeRHarry Agree. I thought it had a good sense of place from memory. 3w

Deblovestoread I could definitely place myself in each scene, the descriptions were done so well. 3w
