pickI‘m not entirely sure how I can have closure without being content. But that‘s this book. I know everything I want to, ends are tied but why do I want more? More ends tied, more knowledge. But I like how this book played out and the characters. And I do like they got closure. I still want more.
pickLast week, I read the 11th Dave Robicheaux, which, as usual, followed the similar formula and usual themes in Dave's life. Here he finds out that his mother, who left him, + his dad inbthe 60's was killed by cops. His search for the killer finds him against corrupt police and politicians as well as a rogue hit man. Enjoyable but I did feel after 11 books, the same formula and themes are getting a little too familiar. May leave bk 12 for a while .
Just joined StoryGraph and playing around with the monthly stats. Standouts in February were definitely Small Mercies, Cold Earth and the tagged. Was able to complete three Roxane Gay books for #authoramonth
You don't have to provide a spoiler, but can someone just tell me if this book had a conclusive ending? I ask because I read the first 75 pages and bailed on it. But then I watched both seasons of the Apple TV series, which I really enjoyed, and the series ended with a vague conclusion and no Season three. Do I need to force myself to read this boring, poorly written book? This is very frustrating. 😠
pickLoved the story and ambiance of this book! Ady is such a cool character, and I wish Sanite was around a bit longer.
bailedI‘ve been curious about Winstead for a while, so I finally dove in. I almost bailed very early when the main character discovered and fell in love with Twilight. (No, no, no.) Then I convinced myself that maybe she would start learning that women can have agency and aren‘t beholden to me. Now, just over halfway, her best friend/boyfriend “let her” do something and I‘m all done with this crap.
so-soI was in the mood for a historical fiction read when I came across The Second Life of Mirielle West. I don't think I've read anything based around the leprosy colonies. It was interesting to learn about that but I can't say I really liked this book. Some of it felt like it was dragging on to me. Then the end felt so sudden almost like there should have been a few more chapters between the last and the epilogue.
