If you guessed Cruel Intentions was May‘s #WickedWords movie theme - you were correct!
We had a lot of good guesses and some movies I had totally forgotten about, so thank you all for that!
pickNow that I'm down to only a handful of years to read to complete the #192025 challenge, I've turned to my shelves to see if I can fill any gaps. This slim story by Grace Livingston Hill checked of 1946, plus got an unread book off my shelf!! It's a perfect pleasant little story - Aunt Marilla is adorable - but too short to really build any kind of tension or actual romance between the two main characters. A soft pick, but one I won't reread.
pickThis is one of those books where I loved the concept more than the execution. It's a great world with an intriguing idea - the existence of horse-phoenixes, whose ashes can be mixed with different elements to create a horse with different powers when it rises again in the morning. My problem: I wanted MORE about these horses, but they ended up just kind of being a tool for the story. The other issue is that this book was about a (phoenix) horse ⬇
so-soThis is a hard one to sum up - it‘s about a marriage that is falling apart after the individual‘s dreams don‘t work out the way they hoped. The characters are well drawn, but it took so long for the book to get moving. I had to switch from print to audio to keep me reading in time for our book group discussion. #wickedwords : bet, school
May done - a bit easier this month!
#WickedWords @AsYouWish
It's Paloma's first trip to Mexico City, home of her long-deceased father, and she doesn't want to be there.
Until she meets new friends, is intrigued by Frida Kahlo, and finds there is a mystery to be solved.
Last Wicked Words for the month! #WickedWords @AsYouWish
And Spanish-Speaking country for @julieclair #FictionalTraveler
Also a GORGEOUS cover.
Part YA graphic novel, part epistolary story, this lovely book tells of a rural Canadian girl who is figuring out who she is and how to be true to herself and her beliefs while her best friend is away at camp. It tackles queerness, masc/femme presentation, gentrification, and it has a great sibling relationship to boot.
Fourth #WickedWords down for May. @AsYouWish
