This was a fine story, it just didn‘t really end up being my cup of tea. #reesesbookclub 🎧

Prepare for your next book hangover! I was so wrapped up in this I was looking for excuses to keep listening. It has all the ingredients for a hit - a love triangle, a murder trial, an atmospheric setting, a show stopping ending. What I think elevates it, though, is the emotional depth and moral ambiguity. “Broken Country” offers fertile ground for discussion! 🎧 #reesesbookclub

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

A harrowing tale of survival, all the more affecting since it‘s a fictional account of real events. It‘s striking that Marguerite wasn‘t exactly safe as a woman in her time even when she wasn‘t stranded on a remote island. I thought the time on the island was the most gripping. 🎧 #reesesbookclub

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This is the kind of storytelling that‘s easy to get swept up in as it carries you along its narrative tide. The way there were multiple POVs (and multiple audiobook narrators) was really well done. 🎧 #reesesbookclub

⭐️⭐️💫

A harrowing read on an important topic, but it seems to be written for a Western audience and lacked nuance. 🎧 #reesesbookclub

If I‘m judging by August, September is almost over but here‘s my tbr for the month anyway:

📚 currently reading The Library Book with my sister #reesesbookclub
🔺Invisible for the #keywordreadingchallenge
💪🏼 The Norton Book of Women‘s Lives for a buddy read - first quarter done by next month
💔 Broke Heart Blues - #EarlyReviewer
🪄 Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire Illustrated Edition for #bannedbooksweek

I need a time turner…

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

History, mediums, and sobriety, oh my! This is a fresh take on an intergenerational story that uncovers the women‘s lives who have lived in one place over time. It isn‘t a new favorite for me, but I was engaged and enjoyed it overall. 🎧 #reesesbookclub

I‘ve been in the mood for a thriller set in a fun location, and this fit the bill! I was interested in Ellery and her story right away. There wasn‘t much suspense or action for most of this, though, and I wasn‘t emotionally invested in the mystery. There was too much explaining instead of storytelling. 🎧 #reesesbookclub
