Nothing against the writing, because it was lovely, but this book was not my vibe. I tried to read it 8 seperate times. It was long, boring , confusing with little payoff...for me

There was a lot going on! A book within a book, lots of secrets and quite interesting story line, but the story was unrealistic and at times cringe-worthy. Everything felt forced.
Started this book club read today and am enjoying it so far. If anyone is interested in discussing Mexican Gothic, please feel free to join our free virtual book club. RSVP here: https://meetu.ps/e/MW6qT/zxXbQ/i
my #MarchPick for my #BookBracket2024
March also beat out my January pick (but... it was a close call there)
This had a lot of things going on… maybe too many things
I‘m just going to call this one, I‘m clearly not that interested in this one. 🤷🏻♀️
This was my lunch read at work for the last few months. I only get to read for about 15-20 minutes. This book is one of those books within a book novels and is unashamedly influenced by the novel Rebecca. In fact that‘s a big plot point. I didn‘t really like the main character and it really wasn‘t that much of a thriller. It was okay as a lunch read but I wouldn‘t recommend it to friends. So-so at best
I really enjoyed this book! The author's use of "Caravaggio" as a descriptor created a vivid and immersive atmosphere. Reminds me of my times in Mexico growing up. ??
Author is #POC
Might be able to finish this one during my #HyggeHour. Just got everything ready, mostly documents, for my first day of work tomorrow. I haven't worked since November 30th, so hopefully, orientation will go well.
I'm going to read in bed under my heated blankets with my babies adding some weight to my legs 🩷💜🐶🦞
