pick2nd book read for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Book published in 2015 but I read You‘re Invited, Shiver and Unwanted Guest that are very similar, specially You‘re Invited.
Leonora, Nora, is invited to Clare‘s Hen Night (first time I heard this activity-so curious☺️) she decided to go with her friend Nina. But Clare hasn‘t seen Clare since 10 years ago. Why she was invited? What happened between Clare and Nora? ⬇️
pickI read 3 books by this author this month for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville This book was published in 2016 but I have read a couple of recent thrillers and they are very similar in topics.
Lo works for a travel magazine and she will substitute someone from her job to go in this luxury cruise. Lo has drinking problems and when she reported what she saw, probably a missing person, no one believes her. She is an unreliable witness. ⬇️
pickFrom the cover, I thought it had horror elements but not, it is more a mystery suggesting some mild paranormal elements. But the story is more than that. It‘s about Devin, how his life will change after he took a job at Joyland. The story has some sad scenes, at least for me, how Devin and his father were still dealing with grief, his constant suicidal ideations. But it is also how Devin grew, it‘s about friendship. A very slow pace reading⬇️
pickI know this one has mixed reviews but I liked it, it was interesting to see this family dynamic through different generations, the romance between Hazel and Myron and how Memphis was described. However, I felt past and present were not well integrated, sometimes I felt confused where I was. I can understand that Miriam wanted to change, break the domestic violence cycle but going back to that house was a way to victimized her daughter⬇️
pick#PersephoneClub2023 (February) When at the beginning of this novel, I saw Mrs. Knapp behavior, I couldn‘t stand her, a controller OCD mother-woman. But then, behind her behavior I saw a frustrated, depressed woman repressed for not fulfilled her goals in life, but “obliged” to follow “society stereotypes mother-woman roles”. What a change in the dynamic of this family after Lester accident. The roles in each member will change, for good⬇️
pickIn order to read January #StarWarsBuddyRead book, I needed to read the first books in this trilogy. I‘m having a good experience going through this world and remembering the characters. This one was a little slow pace. When Padmé will take another political position, she will encounter betrays but also loyalty by her friends. Beautiful friendship. That ending😱What??? Need to continue the adventure. 3.5/3.8⭐️ @BookwormAHN
I liked this novel better but you are not going to identify with any character. Maybe for me was interesting to analyze those psychopathological aspects of their personalities? I will say that the twist was mostly predictable. The ending, well too easy maybe? Again, I think the story was unnecessarily extended but I like how the author describes the atmosphere. 3.7/3.8⭐️ 12mo
