This Book Is Not Good For You: The Secret Series | Pseudonymous Bosch

#Bibliophile Day 21: #AuthorWPseudonym #AuthorWithPseudonym - well i will do you one better, actual “name” is Pseudonymous Bosch - how clever, right? This Secret Series is one that I own (not sure if I have all the books), but haven‘t gotten around to reading yet.

No One Can Know: A Novel | Kate Alice Marshall

pick

Very enjoyable. The set up at first seemed pretty generic but the characterization of the 3 estranged sisters & their trauma responses to their abusive upbringing & subsequent murder of their parents kept it interesting. Nice & twisty.

So Much Blue: A Novel | Percival Everett

pick

This is a triple (& sometimes more) timeline book, or perhaps more accurately, a three places book: “house” in Philadelphia where Kevin‘s wife and kids live, Paris where he had an affair, and El Salvador (right before its civil war in 1979) where he goes with his best friend Richard to find his friend‘s brother who went missing there. The House chapters jump around in time as Kevin tells us about events in his family‘s life. The storyline ⬇️

Soubhiville

Texreader in El Salvador is ugly, brutal, profane, and scary. The events there affected him so deeply that it seems even he didn‘t realize the impact it had on the rest of his life. Kevin is an artist, telling his stories in slight part in the colors he paints. He‘s sometimes not the brightest father or husband making questionable decisions. The 1979 chapters keep the story moving in a dramatic fashion, and almost impossible to put down. #authoramonth 5d

We Are the Brennans | Tracey Lange

pick

Sunday returns home after a car accident and has to face her family and the fiancé she left behind as well as all of the secrets they are keeping from each other. I love a messy family story and this one was easy to read during a hectic week. Did it change my life? No. In fact I doubt I will remember much about it in a few months but it was an enjoyable and quick read and just what I needed.

The Bletchley Riddle | Ruta Sepetys, Steve Sheinkin

🌹In our home we got a morning newspaper and an evening newspaper. That meant me begging someone to read the comics to me x2/day!! Also loved any book about kittens or pups.
