Sapphique | Catherine Fisher

so-so

Second and final book in the series. I have the same sentiments as the first. The book and series as a whole was fine. 3 🌟

Incarceron | Catherine Fisher

so-so

The story was fine, however I felt as if it was a bit too slow paced for me. The author spent almost the entire first half of the book setting up the story. I wished there was more depth, and character development.

The Enchanted: A Novel | Rene Denfeld

This is a long overdue post expressing my delight and thanks to @CBee for sending this my way. Once I get through my huge stack of library books (make me stay away from the library!!!) I‘ll be diving in. This author is now a must read for me. Thanks again, Cydney, for your thoughtfulness.

CBee You‘re very welcome 🥰 1mo

BarbaraBB It‘s so good…. Maybe the best one! 1mo

August 2024 Book #3

The month of August was not a good reading month for me in terms of how many books I enjoyed. Another unpopular opinion. I just couldn‘t with this book. It was interesting at the beginning but I found it so boring. I really struggled, some parts I care but most of the time not. Sorry for fans of this book. I have two other books by this author that I will try. 2.5⭐️⬇️

Gissy I felt with this book the same way I felt with The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow😳In my opinion too unnecessarily descriptive, dragging the story but at the same time an interesting story🤷🏽‍♀️ 2mo

Ruthiella This one is super slow. I say that as a huge Sarah Waters fan. More fast paced are Fingersmith and her debut

Gissy @Ruthiella I own Fingersmith and The Little Stranger which has low rating in GR but the premise sounds interesting. I want to watch the adaption but after I read the book. 2mo

Gissy @5feet.of.fury I was almost on that thought, it was a torture😖 2mo

Are Prisons Obsolete? | Angela Y. Davis

Tired, by Langston Hughes

It has been a hard week in the US, for those of us who believe the Death Penalty should be abolished. 5 state executions in 7 days.
I am sad, I am tired.

If you have not read the tagged by Angela Davis or The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander I really encourage you to even if you do not live in the states.

Tamra Oooof, perfect poem today. It does feel like we‘re festering. Come November we‘ll have made that cut and will be able to see. (edited) 2mo

Ruby on the Outside | Nora Raleigh Baskin

pick

Ruby lives with her aunt Matoo while her mom is in prison. She is cautious with friendships - how do you even talk about that with peers?! So many secrets to wonder about - there is an “inside” Ruby and an “outside“ Ruby, and that‘s a lot for a young girl.

The Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel | Stephen King

pick

Audiobook. I‘ve seen the movie end multiple times - never whole thing. Just like the movie, I cried a few times. The written story here went off on different tandems that made it drag on a lot, to me. surprised a few times, hand over mouth freeze, moments. This book reminds that life isn‘t fair, even those whom done no bad and those who do good. That stinks, but that is life some times. I knew the ending and still wanted a different end.
