Best Books: Martyr & Tuya (yours)

4½ ✨

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.

Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.

February 2025 Book read #1 😳😬🫣

I started this book inJanuary but finished it in February for in memory of @sharread #Sharreadathon @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Book was picked from her litsy list.

I liked this book, the world and character. A Rumplestiltskin retelling. However, didn‘t like much the ending, maybe I was expecting something more dramatic and dark due to the story. But still I liked it. 3.8/4 ⭐️

A highly-readable, well -researched book about Catholics in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It carries lessons we still need today about religious tolerance and the dangers of state involvement in matters of conscience. #letterG #LitsyAtoZ & #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader

This is one of those books where a pack of siblings all seem to reach a crisis mode at the same time and then they all sort of unravel together and take the parents down with them. This one starts off with the mother's death. Low pick.

Enjoyed the start of this series. Liked the characters and the plot. I appreciated that the author slowly developed the storyline and the backstreet unfolded organically. 4🌟

#DoubleSpin selection for May @TheAromaofBooks

Kevin Wilson writes quirky novels that I usually love in their strangeness. This book of short stories gives you little bites of that, each one showing a character doing their best to struggle through a challenging life event.

I only rate it so-so because I‘m not a short story fan. It‘s a good collection, I just prefer novels.

Isn‘t this cover weird and wonderful? It fits one of the stories.
