I love this #underrated author‘s #horror flash fiction. He can build so much gore and suspense in so very few pages. I‘ve been a horrible reviewer and had this ARC on my shelf for **way** too long. So, now that it‘s #scarathlon2022, I am reaping #allthepoints from this story collection. Yes, plenty of supernatural #murder here.

I love this series! While keeping me interested with twists and turns, it also just makes me laugh at times. I had to request that my library obtain a copy (and they bought it within a few days!) plus it has fewer reviews than a lot of popular books so I‘m using it for #underrated for #booked2021. As a side note, I stumbled on this series because of a prompt for #booked2020 and am so glad I did. #litsyatoz #f #seriesread

The Mountains Sing | Nguyen Phan Que Mai
post image
Pickpick

The Mountains Sing is a harrowing story of intergenerational trauma that spans the Land Reforms of the 1950s through the post-Vietnam War era. At its core is Dieu Lan, the grandmother, an incredibly resilient woman who perseveres through horrific tragedies. Dieu Lan‘s flashbacks alternate from the coming of age story of her granddaughter, Guava. Reconciliation, forgiveness, and familial bonds are recurring themes. Definitely a 5⭐️ read.

Butterfinger Wonderful review. 3y
alisiakae @Butterfinger you‘re fast, I hadn‘t even finished my tags yet! 🤣 I don‘t think I would have found this book if it wasn‘t for #foodandlit, and it‘s definitely one of my favorites so far this year! 3y

Butterfinger @4thhouseontheleft I am glad that you found such a book. 3y
alisiakae And after some thought, I‘m also going to use this for #booked2021 #underrated title, after realizing this hasn‘t been nominated for a single award. It‘s definitely an award-worthy book in my opinion! @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m glad to see your review! I picked this up on an Audible Daily Deal last year and plan to use it for #vietnam also! 3y
Cinfhen Great review and I need a #familytree 💕🙌🏻 3y
alisiakae @Cinfhen It was a pleasant surprise to open the book and see a family tree! I didn't have anything picked out for that prompt yet. 3y
alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage I think you would like it! Just make sure to read it at a time when you are in the mood or able to handle a very depressing and heartbreaking story. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Thank you for that advice ... much needed ... 3y
BarbaraBB That is quite a recommendation 🤍 3y
Librarybelle I recently checked this out from the library for #Vietnam . Wonderful review! 3y
Texreader This was such a hard read, and not the best point in my life to have read (listened to) it. Your review is excellent. And your advice to find a good time in your life when you can handle such sad sad stuff to read it. It was a lot to take in. But I also agree, so well written. I loved the messages in it as well 3y

Great snow day.
Finished this book 5 stars. #LosersClub #LosersClub2021 @DGRachel
Counting it as #underrated #Booked2021 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage
got some reading done on #ThatsClassic book @Annie1215 and #potteraday @Linsy Took a long walk in the snow, reached daily goals @wanderinglynn #BFC21
And found out the covers of Regulators and Desperation fit together @TheNeverendingTBR @Tattooedteacher @CaffeineAndCandy

TheNeverendingTBR Got mine and I'm ready to start on the 19th, looking forward to it - Desperation was so good! 🙋‍♂️ 3y
Cinfhen Well played 🙌🏻⛄️♥️ 3y
Reagan I preferred The Regulators over Desperation but both are so good and I think underrated King books. 3y
bthegood @Reagan I think so too - and looking forward to next book, as always (@TheNeverendingTBR) (edited) 3y

Desperation | Stephen King

Coffee mug gift from my godson...he knows me well🙂
I do believe that most movies do not do justice to the book. Stephen King's writing always gives me a very clear image of the evil that is portrayed. It is never the image that is portrayed in the film version.

This book will definitely be #underrated , it's a very good King! #Booked2021

This was a unexpected surprise. Like @Cinfhen says, it would well fit the #Underrated prompt for #Booked2021.

Six friends are inseparable while growing up until one of them leaves their group without an explanation. The others are at loss and all falls apart. Years later they are adults and reminisce about that time. Looking for answers only raises more questions.

Probably America's funniest 20th century writer, definitely the most #underrated, and in the running for flatout best.

I think this series is seriously #underrated. It‘s like the old Sabrina mixed with some teen witch.

BTW @VanChocStrawberry you teach 8th right? Anything I should avoid as I cull books for your classroom. (Sex obviously) but anything else. I don‘t want to send anything you can‘t use.
