pickI absolutely adore Kalynn Bayrons books, but I do think I would have liked this in paper more than I did the audio, and I wish I‘d read it that way. I just didn‘t feel the narration sadly. Because the story was AWESOME, genuinely quite scary and unpredictable.
I see what the author did there. The company buying up all the other companies is called Rainforest…
It took me a minute.
pickI‘m on a roll with the tough memoirs of horrible lived experiences. This is a topic I had little to no knowledge of prior to reading this book: the oppression of the Uyghur people in China. Izgil, an intellectual, recalls his life under strict rule with lyrical writing, a sharp contrast to what he calls and his family endured. Constantly scared of reprimand, never knowing who may sell them out for owning the wrong book. Unbelievable but real.
pickI‘m a baby when it comes to scary stories so I almost didn‘t read this one. But I LOVE Kalynn Bayron, and I‘m so glad I finally picked this one up, it had my heart racing but was soooo good
This was a hard decision, but I really loved the conclusion of the Shanghai universe from Chloe Gong!
pickLOVED IT. I was worried because I thought this would be related to Cinderella is Dead, which wasn‘t totally for me… but it wasn‘t and the fairytale references & imagery were elaborate & fun. I loved the characters, it was so good!
pickI had so much fun reading my April #BookOfTheMonth pick! I wish I‘d read it in the warmer parts of the year, but reading by tree light does add a certain magic! This adventure fantasy— complete with seadragons, neat marking magic where tattoos come to life, a quest & romance— makes for a fast-paced & exciting read! Hanalei hasn‘t returned to her home since her father‘s betrayal, but when forced her return, it‘s a different welcome than envisioned!
