Still Lives | Maria Hummel
post image
Pickpick

Read this for my book club and I really enjoyed it. This was one of my picks for the club although I was sad very few people came tonight. Hopefully more will show up next month.
I‘ve been doing really crappy with reading lately but my life is just falling apart left right and sideways. I hope to do better soon, it‘s going to be hard. I like audiobooks but how do you all fit in extra reading time?

Strong noir mystery. Hummel builds a surreal world centered in LA and focused on the art world. Maggie, the protagonist, is a perfect balance of insider and outsider, someone who enters the drama without being a part of it. The author's message about violence against women is perhaps the most interesting part of the novel; the way that menace plagues these women and provides a form of entertainment is an indictment the central plot reinforces.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this until the last two pages. I felt like the very end came dangerously close to cheapening the whole thing, and I didn‘t always care much/at all about Maggie) Still not a pan, though, so: so-so. #stilllives #mariahummel

TheFunkyBookworm I felt the same way! That ending....so anticlimactic 🤦‍♀️ 7y
actualdisneyprincess @TheFunkyBookworm seriously!!! Like...I don‘t even know, honestly, just...nah. 😂 But I would totally read a book with Yegina as the main character. ✨ 7y

This cover caught my eye at work, and the blurb sounds SO promising. Hoping it follows through and is a fast read, because it‘s due back tomorrow. 😂 #stilllives #mariahummel

#BOTM is up early! 🎉 I chose #TheMarsRoom and added on #StillLives and #TheWindfall. I would have added #ThePerfectMother too, but I already preordered it on my kindle awhile ago. 📚 Which BOTM book(s) did you select?

#bookofthemonth #bookmail

KarenUK I think I‘m going to go with Still Lives....🤔 7y
mklong I picked Mars Room and Small Country. Looking forward to your review of Still Lives, I was really tempted by that one too! 7y
JamieArc The Windfall was one of my favorite #botm picks! I had to decided to go with something different, and it was just the lighter, fun read I was looking for. 7y
