Mexican Gothic | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

pick

Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

TieDyeDude Agreed. I read it pretty soon after reading Rebecca, and it was fun to compare the two. 13h

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude That had to be a fun comparison! There were some definite Rebecca vibes; a little Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and even some VC Andrews vibes, too 11h

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 7h

What a fascinating imagining of the people who shared in the life of an ancient text. It really brings to mind just how much was lost in book burnings of yore.

I always enjoy EH's books, especially her earlier ones. The characters feel more authentic and the stories less formula. This one drew me in so completely I felt like I was in the bistro watching the story unfold.

The Glass Ocean: A Novel | Beatriz Williams, Karen White, Lauren Willig

so-so

A very slow 150 page start. I almost DNFed but I didn't feel like choosing another book to start 😂 Once it really got into the meat of the story it was actually interesting.

A Day No Pigs Would Die | Robert Newton Peck

Finished this yesterday morning before our family hike/picnic.

This was one of the most honest, straight-forward, heart warming coming of age stories I ever read.

The Lords of Discipline | Pat Conroy

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

Sandwich: A Novel | Catherine Newman

I really enjoyed this slice of life family story. Being close to the MC's age, there was quite a bit I could identify with.
