Twilight Sleep | Edith Wharton

Pickpick

This was like a satirical Fitzgerald; depressing & amusing all at once. Characters that needed to be more thoughtful were a tad underdeveloped, as such (Nona). But I felt for her & almost wish there was a sequel where she gets her own version of a "happy ending". A 3-star pick because it didn't quite stick the landing as I expected it to, but it's astutely Whartonian in how it exposes the vacuousness of the capitalist elite. #WhartonBuddyRead

Graywacke Glad you gave it a pick. Not my favorite Wharton either, but I‘m certainly glad i read it. Maybe a different ending ties it better. 2w
batsy @Yuki_Onna It's so well-suited to the book 🙂 2w

batsy @Graywacke I'm glad I read it, too. You can sense her discomfort with modern norms; it gives this book more of a cynical edge than her other works. 2w
Leftcoastzen It felt Fitzgerald-y to me as well. 5d
batsy @Leftcoastzen It's very interesting! Considering that Gatsby and this one were published within a few years of each other. 4d

#ItTakesAllKinds

This title #WithVacation is in my TBR. I read one of the author‘s previous book & enjoyed it. This one is set in Maine & since I have always lived in the PNW & Hawaii, I find summers & vacations on east coast beaches intriguing!

Huh, this cover was super cute and I didn‘t at all expect cat eating monsters. Um. Not sure how I feel about this one.

My first Ross book but definitely won‘t be my last. Beautiful and unique fantasy world-building, characters to root for and love and a story that is absorbing and gorgeously written…unfortunately for me, it‘s a standalone. 😂😂😔 Happy to have discovered this author. 4.5/5⭐️

My BN birthday mini-haul! I feel like I have to get a short story collection when I shop in person, and this Nigerian-British one is pretty and sounded good!

DYRBB has that sinister techy SciFi vibe I‘ve been digging lately, so I decided on it, too. There were three others that came close but my library had them, so I‘m going to take advantage of that!

Soubhiville Happy Birthday!!! 1mo

BarbaraBB Glad you made it to the store! I liked DYRBB‘s cover more than the book itself but chances are you‘ll enjoy it better 🤞🏽🤎 1mo
squirrelbrain That cover is amazing! 1mo
Megabooks @Soubhiville @dabbe thank you!! 💜💜💜 1mo
Megabooks @sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB I didn‘t know you had read it, B. Hopefully I‘ll like it more. It had around 4⭐️ on the storygraph, and usually I‘ll fall within a half star either way of their aggregate. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain yes! Both these are #coverlove for me!! 1mo
Reggie I hope you had some cake! Happy belated birthday! 1mo
Megabooks @Reggie thanks Reggie! I finally made blondies Monday night (a week after my birthday 😂) and they were great! 1mo

Pickpick

So in the end, the first book was my favorite of the four, but this was still a satisfying conclusion. There was one plot gimmick that mildly annoyed me (see spoiler), but these books are so ridiculous that I just kept rolling with it haha 100% absurd, shallow melodrama that I totally was into 😂

TheAromaofBooks Having Beatrice wake up with amnesia meant that we literally just had her redo all the growth she had already experienced in the first three books, except compressed into one book. It just felt like McGee had run out of ways to make Bea's life complicated, so she had her start over. I actually would have been totally happy with this book being Bea and Teddy working together happily! 1mo
TheSpineView Fantastic! 1mo
Yuki_Onna Woohoo (to speak with your words 😉😎)! Also, #coverlove 1mo
