so-so3.5/5 ⭐️ - I think I was expecting something witchy when I picked this book up, it was an average read for me so it took me a while to get through it. However, it was much better than other reviews lead me to believe.
The book follows a 13 year old girl named Emily who is a twin. It highlights the pains of growing up to realize life is not ever as simple as it seems when you‘re young and perhaps naive of the world around you.
Cuddling up with the baby boy doing some evening reading. About 40 pages in, hoping it‘ll pick up soon.

The month of August was not a good reading month for me in terms of how many books I enjoyed. Another unpopular opinion. I just couldn‘t with this book. It was interesting at the beginning but I found it so boring. I really struggled, some parts I care but most of the time not. Sorry for fans of this book. I have two other books by this author that I will try. 2.5⭐️⬇️
pickI'm never satisfied with any Horror or suspense story...it can always be better...but this pretty good
bailedAbout 1/3 of the way in, nothing has happened & I‘m not finding myself hoping for anything to happen. Might be a slow burn (but too slow for me).
On to the next! maybe whoever is next on the Libby hold list will find it a better fit! #authoramonth
I don‘t know where to begin. I‘ll start with, I‘m enjoying it, it‘s an interesting and comforting perspective. It makes me feel MULTIPLE different emotions, experience MANY different thoughts and now I have LOTS of new questions. I‘ve always been afraid of this topic and reading this was my way of trying to get over that fear… this is helping, but I will admit it‘s hard to read after dark 😆. I feel this would be a fun discussion with others 👻📚
pickI liked this gothic mystery. I predicted a few of the plot points and so the ending only partly came as a surprise. I have been wondering about something while reading the book I'm hiding it as a Spoiler in the comments.
This was as much an impulse read as a book that's been on my TBR for a while, but I'm using it for the Green or Red on the cover prompt for #RushAThonChristmasBingo.

pickI would recommend this for a read even if you don't consider yourself spiritual. The author's takes on history and The Patriarchy are really interesting, and offer a take that I hadn't considered, but makes perfect sense. I found a warm familiarity when reading this, and I imagine others will too. I found I was reading aspects of myself that I hadn't shared and her words gave a sense of forgotten community that was pleasant. Give it a go.
