August was another great reading month for me & I struggled to pick a favorite between the tagged book (read with #SundayBuddyRead ) & Chain-Gang All-Stars but ultimately this fascinating historical fiction novel won out as my #12BooksOf2024 pick.
A close second: Chain-Gang All-Stars (the audio book) Honorable Mentions: Hello Stranger, Black Sheep, The Undermining of Twyla and Frank, Bear, Unwell Women & Incidents Around the House
#12Booksof2024 Day 8
My favorite book of August was The Forty Elephants, which I read with #SundayBuddyRead .

Found this book interesting and entertaining! The characters were fun, the story was intriguing and it was an easy read. The only issue I had was the ending. It felt rushed and incomplete. And why did Alice never see her beau again?! I wanted a happy ending for them. But the dynamics of Alice being placed in a power position in The Mint was really fascinating and not something that you would expect in that time frame. Overall, loved it!
Was a entertaining read in a great era. Alice turned out to be everything I was hoping for her to be. 🖤Ruthless. Oceans 13 meet Peaky Blinders . The acknowledgements mention the inspo. It had all the right ingredients to be a five star novel. However, writing /pacing needed a bit more cohesiveness, sometimes actions and scenes feel uncompleted like there is gaps in between the actions that characters are doing so it feels rushed or empty.
Thank you @Eggs @TheSpineView @TieDyeDude for the #WondrousWednesday tags! 🤗

1. Several places—although my parents have passed, they gave me a good foundation & my family is still a support. I rely a lot on myself & use journaling, meditation & practicing gratitude to keep me going.💛
2. Alice Diamond in the tagged book (which is awesome!) is strong, determined & at times very ruthless but she is also very supportive of her family & of women.💪🏼
