Real life distractions might be hindering this book right now because I find myself slowly drifting away every time I pick it up. I agree the writing is lovely but the subject matter and elements of magical realism are not working for me. Sorry my #GoodPeople , I think this book is going back into #hibernation 🐻
JennyM, erzascarletbookgasm, Redwritinghood, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch, Caroline2, Birdsong28, TrishB, TamraTrishB Same 👍🏻 I don‘t think I‘ll be tempted to pick back up though. 5y
RadicalReader @Cinfhen gorgeous book cover totally beachy 5y
CoffeeAndABook Too bad it‘s a disappointment, man that cover is so alluring. Sometimes it‘s just wrong time, wrong book. It‘s been happening to me a lot lately 🤷🏼♀️ Hope you pick up a real page-turner next 🤞🏼☀️😙 5y

JennyM Sleep well in your hibernation #GoodPeople. It was more of a slog reading this one than Burial Rites and it was soooo bleak!!! 5y
Cinfhen I know what you mean @TrishB I think I‘ve tried this book before ... I‘ll give it one more go and then into the Litsyverse it flies @JennyM @CoffeeAndABook @RadicalReader The cover is definitely a stunner!!!! 5y
Birdsong28 It taking me ages as well! Glad I have done this buddy read with you. Hopefully you can pick it up again in the future. 📚📖 5y
Cinfhen I always feel bad bailing on a buddy read @Birdsong28 but sometimes it really is wrong book wrong time 5y
Crazeedi @Cinfhen very true, sometimes a book just doesn't work. Move on 5y
Cinfhen Do u want me to send it to you @Crazeedi ???? 5y
Crazeedi @Cinfhen what a sweet offer! I have not read anything by this author, I just read the description, and I think I might enjoy! My email crazeedi73@gmail.com. get in touch so we can exchange addresses, email etc. Thank you tons😊❤ 5y
erzascarletbookgasm @JennyM I agree, this is slow in the earlier parts, unlike Burial Rites. @Cinfhen too bad it didn‘t work out for you. 5y
emilyhaldi Bummer. I'm going to try reading a little more today and see if it makes me want to keep going... 5y
Tamra Bailing is better than regretting! 😁 5y
RohitSawant The 🐻 emoji is criminally underused! 5y
Redwritinghood That‘s too bad. Seems to be a really split decision on this one. 5y
Reviewsbylola Magical realism rarely works for me. 5y
Cinfhen Hahaha @rohit-sawant #SaveTheBear 🐻 5y
Cinfhen I‘m happy I let it go @Tamra @erzascarletbookgasm @emilyhaldi @Redwritinghood @Reviewsbylola but can someone please tell me how it ends 😂 5y
Mdargusch @Cinfhen @reviewsbylola the magical realism didn‘t bother me since it‘s based on a true story and the peasants of Ireland really based their life on the work of fairies. Sorry you could not get through it, but I‘m glad I read it so thanks for the buddy read! 5y
Cinfhen I always feel bad bailing on a buddy read but my heart just wasn‘t in this one @Mdargusch I‘m glad it worked for you. Hannah Kent is an amazing author so I feel a little guilty that I didn‘t stick with it more. 5y
Suet624 @Mdargusch ooohhhh, your description might have just sold me on this book! 5y
Mdargusch It‘s definitely not getting much Litsy love @Suet624 🤷🏼♀️ 5y
