A beautiful story about love and the resiliency required to sustain hope. Shortly after Wren and Lewis are married, he is diagnosed with a genetic mutation that is turning him into a great white shark. This novel follows our two main characters, as well as Wren's mother, Angela. Most of the chapters are short (one or two paragraphs), making this a quick read.

Well written but it just wasn‘t for me. I thought I would struggle with the magical realism of people mutating into animals but that surprisingly wasn‘t an issue. I was bored and really had to push myself to finish it. ⭐️⭐️

“ Wren looked at her hands first thing every morning and pretended they were her mother‘s hands — hands that never left her, hands that lived on in the foggy transition between sleeping and waking.”

While very strange to the unsuspecting or shallow reader, this is a story about love and hope, and change. Change is presented physically as people literally morphing into wild animals, but it‘s also about emotional growth. Book #123 in 2024

Beyond excited to dig into the amazing @monalyisha 's #AuldLangSpine list in the new year! I've read (and largely loved) 6.5 (didn't finish Bear during #CampLitsy due to time, not disinterest!), including the tagged, which I read because it was on @Deblovestoread 's #AuldLangSpine list for 2024! 🦈❤️ Quite a few others were already on my TBR. Feeling lucky with these titles to choose from!

BarbaraBB Such a great list! 4mo
Christine @BarbaraBB It really is! I love how she separated the fiction and non, too. 4mo
monalyisha I love your graphic! Any inclination about where you‘ll start? 4mo

Christine @monalyisha I‘m not sure!! I‘m kind of leaning toward your reread bonus pick because somehow I have not yet read Wintering despite intending to since it came out! Also considering The Comfort of Crows… 4mo
monalyisha I‘d definitely go with Wintering! It‘s back on the bestseller list, having its moment in the cold yet sparkling sunshine. It‘s my favorite on the nonfic list, followed by the two at the top of that section. I think I‘ll probably start with a fic pick from yours since I‘m scrambling to finish a nonfic book at the moment. 4mo
Christine @monalyisha Sold! I‘ll start with that and hope you find a novel that fits your mood on the list! 4mo

Thank you @Pogue for the book and chocolate for #JolabokaflodSwap24! It‘s perfect; it sounds so intriguing! And I cannot wait to try the chocolate! And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting again!

MaleficentBookDragon Happy Jólabókaflóð! That book intrigues me yet scares me. I feel it might wreck me. 4mo
Pogue I am glad that you like it. I hope that you enjoy the book. 4mo
Texreader @MaleficentBookDragon @Pogue To be honest, the book scares me too. As much as I was intrigued I don‘t think I ever would‘ve gotten it for myself. So I‘m super happy I got it for Christmas because I think I‘ll love it while it will wring emotions from me. It sounds like a movie I watched with Mom as a child called Ssssnake in which a man turned into a snake and it scared the bejeezus out of me and I‘ll never forget it. It has that vibe. 😬 4mo
Texreader @MaleficentBookDragon @Pogue Mom and I had no idea how scary the movie would be so she let me watch it. There is an image that will forever live rent-free in my brain. Here‘s the synopsis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sssssss 4mo
Pogue @Texreader I love campy movies. The first one I ever saw was Frogs with Sam Elliott. 4mo
