Atmosphere: A Love Story | Taylor Jenkins Reid

Finished my first book of the year a few days ago! Atmosphere was a 4 1/2 star for me, so a great start to the year! I loved the buildup to the romance as well as the subplot between Joan, Bridget, and Francis. #bookstagram #atmosphere #taylorjenkinsreid #space #spaaaaace

For those of you who read #InDeathLongReadalong and want to know what Roarke would look like, here is a Gpt generated photo after all the descriptions were inputted from the series. They put him in space or, as the books say, off planet. It seems funny to me as we don't care what Eve looks like but are fascinated by Roarke. #RoarkeFans

Shirley by Charlotte Bronte | Charlotte Bront

Oh noooo, we have to spend today's entire chapter with that most accursed class of people, the Old Maid! At 18, Lina's life is over because she is definitely not going to marry Robert: her Proud Boy uncle got into a political fight with her robber baron crush so the families have gone no-contact. Now Caroline has no other choice but to get to know the town's old maids- after all, she'll be one of them! Link to the pictured article in the comments.

A little weird at times, but still really cute. I would have loved for the backstory to be fleshed out a bit more. We were given just enough for the story to make sense, but not enough for it to feel truly complete.

The Winter Soldier | Daniel Mason

I wanted to love this book because I was so enthralled by “North Woods.” But this novel was just …okay. The pacing was uneven and I found myself skimming at times. It was interesting to read a plot set in the Eastern Front of WWI, though —that‘s not a perspective I think I‘ve ever seen much of before now.

The House Saphir | Marissa Meyer

While I‘m often reluctant to read anything with a romantasy label attached - I ended up really enjoying this.

It‘s got a very modern vibe in an otherwise fantastical, somewhat historical European setting. I loved how enterprising both sisters were & how they came to reconcile their history to their present circumstances & I do love an unconventional happy ending.

I‘m quite tempted to find myself a copy of Angela Carter‘s The Bloody Chamber…

Austen_meets_Annie Good opening line: "Time wore on, and spring matured. The surface of England began to look pleasant: her fields grew green, her hills fresh, her gardens blooming; but at heart she was no better." 3h

Austen_meets_Annie "He wondered (he remarked parenthetically) what noodle first made it the fashion to teach women French. Nothing was more improper for them. It was like feeding a rickety child on chalk and water gruel." & "Having but an indifferent opinion of women, he always suspected them. He thought they needed constant watching.??? 3h
Bklover As Fanny helps Caroline dress to go visit the “old maids” I find myself wondering about Fanny‘s life. Does she have a life of her own at all? She seems so insignificant. Also, having met the men in this novel, Caroline should consider herself lucky that she isn‘t forced to be married to one of those assholes. Oh, and @Austen_meets_Annie - “they needed constant watching” just about put me over the edge!” 2h
lil1inblue It's so crazy that Caroline is considering resigning herself to be an old maid at 18. 😬 I know times were different and all, but it's still crazy. 1h
Austen_meets_Annie @Bklover so much misogyny this chapter. Is Shirley going to show up and save the day????? 36m
dabbe I think my favorite hashtag thus far is #countdowntoshirley 🤣😍🤣 22m
willaful @dabbe Agreed! I think we were told they come in in the next chapter? I was so tempted to read on! now

All of Us Murderers | KJ Charles

Mehso-so

I will read whatever KJ Charles publishes. They are a go-to author for me. This is the first one where I was not fully invested in the characters. It is not bad writing or story. A gothic novel mystery is always fun and with queer representation is a bonus.
All of this to say, if you are picking up a KJ Charles for the first time- don‘t start here. Try Slippery Creatures. Or The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman.

julesG Shame. I absolutely loved it. 1h
