Again and Again | Jonathan Evison
Pickpick

Themes: Epic stories, Multiple timelines, “Big Fish” movie feel (totally agree with you @jdiehr 👍)

This was a very interesting book, at times I felt like there was almost too much going on, but it oddly worked. I keep typing and deleting what I‘ve typed because I don‘t want to spoil anything. I‘m just going to say it was a pick, I‘m glad it was a BOTM option 👍

Maria Dueñas has done it again, the second book in the Sira Quiroga series is another hit. While I‘ll be the first to admit that the beginning is very dry and factual, once you get past a certain event, WOW! Hold onto your seats!!! It was non-stop action for the rest of the book. I‘m hoping there will someday be a Book 3, Sira is a new favorite character I‘d love to read more about. Also, meet Millie, my parents new cat!! She‘s such a sweetie!!

It was getting busy as I was leaving ✌️), House is as clean as it‘s ever going to be, and the last load of laundry today is in the dryer. Soaking up the quietness while it‘s here 😌🥰

This was an unintended PangoBooks find🤪 I was buying a book from a seller and saw this. I read the summary and gasped - it checks alllll my boxes:
✅ Historical fiction {and bonus points for it being from a region and a time period I‘m not familiar with (Spanish Civil War, Madrid & Morocco during the late 1930s and 1940s)}
✅ Strong female characters
✅ A chunkster!!
I ordered the sequel when I still had 200 pages to go, I knew I wanted more!

Aims42 Themes: The Spanish Civil War, 1930-1940s Morocco, Erik Larson meets Adriana Trigiani (facts meets beautiful story telling) 3w

I love a good family saga and this one did not disappoint! Jonathan Coe did a nice job of telling the story of the Lamb family beginning on VE Day in 1945 and going until 2020 in the midst of COVID lockdowns. I learned a lot, laughed, cringed, and craved chocolate (thank God Halloween candy is in stores now 😆🤪🤤). I‘ll pick up his other works after reading this one for sure 🤗

This chunkster was good, not great - a soft pick for sure. Annie Barrows does a wonderful job with her characters and the setting, I just wish the plot was more exciting right from the get go, instead of picking up during the last 100 pages. All that said, Jottie, Willa, Bird, everyone (except Felix) felt like people I‘d love to sit and have some ice-tea on a porch with any day of the week.

I wanted a kinda creepy, eerie read that would not keep me up at night and give me nightmares. This was perfect! While reading I couldn‘t help but think of Sarah Addison Allen‘s books with their mystic, magic undertones - which I loved (the telescopes on Lark‘s houseboat reminded me of the Pixar light 😆). I also learned about “Development-induced displacement”, which I didn‘t know anything about and now I want to learn more! A solid pick 👍

First, I would say this is “thriller-lite” or “diet Thriller”. There are thriller elements but none that will keep you awake at night terrified to turn out the light. This book is based on a true murder in 1920‘s NYC and was so well written I couldn‘t put it down! A true (🤯) whodunit with passionate journalists, Broadway performers, gigolos, corrupt politicians, high society, and everything in between. A definite pick!!

Something about fall and the “back to school” season always gets me hankering for a good biography or a book on some historical event. After our visit to Louisville and hearing the Du Pont‘s name dropped several times, I knew the subject I wanted to read about for my “back to school” book 😁 And at 632 pages and not one, not two, not three, but FOUR family trees, I think I‘m going to learn a lot 🤓🙌🌈⭐️

Canary Girls: A Novel | Jennifer Chiaverini

Jennifer Chiaverini‘s books for me are either so good I can‘t put them down (Resistance Women) or too boring for me to want to keep picking up (Switchboard Soldiers). This one was so good and I couldn‘t put it down! Now, as I say that, you have to first meet every character and get their backstory before things really get moving. Stick with it through the first 80ish pages (if you can), the story really gets going after that 👍

This is the second in the ‘Marlow Murder Club‘ series and it was FANTASTIC!

Anything described as, “Jane Austen meets Agatha Christie meets The Princess Bride” and “Clue set in Regency era England” sets my expectations very high, and this delivered! This was a quirky read that had the perfect blend of silliness and mayhem. All of the characters were great, Miss Bolton is my favorite though 😊 I‘d definitely recommend reading with tea and perfectly moist scones.

Not that I was planning on reading any of King‘s horror books (I have nightmares over horror film trailers on TV), I know without a doubt in my mind now that I will never, ever pick any of his horror books up. I wouldn‘t sleep again, his world creation is the BEST I‘ve come across. Mr. King is one heck of a storyteller 🤯 100 pages at a time would fly by because you cannot help but get hooked and are utterly engrossed in the story. (cont‘d 👇)

Aims42 I‘ll admit, I skimmed a bit in the middle with George and Sadie, that storyline got too heavy for me. And at a page count of 800+, a little skimming happens 🤷🏼‍♀️ While reading I was wondering who I could recommend this to, and after finishing it, I‘m still not sure 🤔 It‘s good, it‘s not one I‘d need to read again, but I don‘t regret taking the time to read it. 4mo
