Here‘s my list from @Sapphire Thanks Amanda! I‘ve only read three of these so very excited to check out the others. Been wanting to read The Names so that will be first. #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha
pickI don't agree with the premise that a name informs your personality, however I did enjoy the inter-related stories.
pickThis book has probably been recommended to me the most this year. Loved the premise, what if your name determined your future? So cleverly and tenderly written. The subject is brutal in places and it is definitely worth checking out the trigger warning before you begin. Hard to believe this is a debut for the author. My final book in Canada. Photo to show why I was so easily distracted! Canada is stunning on a whole other level! ❤️
pickLoved it! Devoured it. Wish it had kept on. Just a teeeeensy tiny bit hard keeping the narratives straight, but overall So Good! (38)
⭐️: 4.5/5
pickI finally read this - I'm not sure what made me wait. I agree with what others have said about struggling at times to keep the stories straight, and here and there it was a little soppy and on the nose, but altogether I really enjoyed it. It brought up quite a lot of sadness about lost time and opportunities though.
pickThe narrative structure of this novel is really done well, and serves to keep the reader's interest in the story, but I agree with another review about the ending being a bit of a thud. But overall I did enjoy the book and I'm glad to have read it, the audio performance is excellent, although this is a novel where you must pay close attention to the chapter names.
November brings a lot of interesting reads to the table, and I‘m looking forward to reading as many as possible. Catching up on some of my #FriendsPick read for the year as well as some of my #ReadBannedBooks , though I don‘t know if I‘ll get through as many of them as I want before the end of the year. But the important thing to remember here is not to stress about how much you read, but to truly enjoy the stories you do read. #BookSpinBingo
