Hello Stranger: A Novel | Katherine Center

pick

I nearly sobbed at times listening to this one, as Sadie navigates life with a condition that begins suddenly. It‘s sweet, reflective, humorous, with some dashes of romance. I loved listening to Sadie‘s growth and her journey to acceptance in a variety of things in her life.

While I enjoyed The Bodyguard just a smidge more, I absolutely loved this one. So good! #52BookClub23 #TitleStartingWithTheLetterH

The Bodyguard: A Novel

squirrelbrain I haven‘t read anything by this author… definitely sounds like one to try! 1y

Librarybelle @Clwojick @robinb @Read4life @Cinfhen I may have to read her backlist. I think I have one or two BOTM selections by her, so that will be a start! 1y

Librarybelle @squirrelbrain This one was a fun one, with also serious bits thrown in. Definitely worth a try! 1y

robinb So far I‘ve read 7 from her backlist…loved them all (some more than others). My very favorite was the first one I read from her below. BTW, two of her novels have been made into Netflix movies: The Lost Husband and Happiness for Beginners.

How to Walk Away

Librarybelle @robinb Good to know!! Thank you! 1y

Hungry Ghosts | Kevin Jared Hosein

pick

From the reviews I knew this was going to be a tough read, but it was VERY dark. Set in 1940s #trinidad, much of the story takes place in the ‘barrack‘; the remnants of slave housing, where the incredibly poor eke out their ‘lesser lives‘. Another storyline features the disappearance of a local reclusive landowner, but it‘s all inter-connected.

There‘s no light anywhere in this novel, hence why it‘s touted as a Booker nominee. It‘s one of ⬇️

squirrelbrain …those books that you hesitate to recommend because it‘s so tough but, weirdly, I grew to appreciate it. TW for animal abuse. @TrishB - there were even more dead dogs later on in the book. 😬 #netgalley Published next week in the UK. (edited) 2y

JamieArc “There‘s no light anywhere in this novel, hence why it‘s touted as a Booker nominee.” 😆. Oh my. Why do I subject myself to such books? 2y

BarbaraBB What @JamieArc says 😂😂 2y

MicheleinPhilly Dead dogs? Hard pass! 2y

Suet624 @JamieArc same here. 🤪 2y

Megabooks I think I‘m going to skip this, but excellent review Helen. 2y

Librarybelle Excellent review! I‘m passing on this one. 2y

CarolynM Sounds like you've taken one for the team. Great review, but definitely not stacked😆 2y

Hooked_on_books I tend toward darker books, so I‘m glad you mentioned the dead dogs. No way! 2y

Cinfhen I had this one stacked but I feel like im gonna hold off - I can‘t do REALLY DARK right now or animal cruelty 2y

azulaco I have this one on my possibles list for #readingtheamericas2023 as well. We‘ll see if I feel like reading it when I get to #trinidad. 2y

KarenUK It‘s a nope for me…. But great review Helen! 💕 2y

Hester: A Novel | Laurie Lico Albanese

While I felt the weight of the story dragged at times, I was highly invested in all the characters. Tales of witchcraft, the Underground Railroad, and forbidden love woven seamlessly. I fully admire Isobel‘s backbone and grit! There were a few surprising twists, and I rather enjoyed the ending.
