@BookishBrunette1 @ElizaMarie I started my book while my grandbaby was at swim lessons 😊 (hashtag TBD!)

BookishBrunette1 I already suggested this in the group email, but maybe you and @ElizaMarie will see it sooner here. What do you think of #bookclubgonepostal? We can shorten it to #bcgp when we want to avoid typing out the whole thing. 9h

Another finish! I'm finally reading again!!
This was sweet (with a little angst) and quick and just what I needed today.

When Women Were Dragons | Kelly Barnhill
post image
Mehso-so

I finally finished this! 🎉
Mixed feelings. I would have liked a dragon POV. Having it only from Alex's POV does lean into the exploration of memory and trauma the author's note mentioned but I think it makes the story less interesting. Alex was a child with no context for the things that happened. Along with the govt cover up it means she isn't able to provide information and that's what I wanted. I wanted to understand the dragons but they were

bookandbedandtea held apart from the reader. I think this story should have been ABOUT THE DRAGONS or it should have been about Alex's difficult, interesting life- dead mother, abandoned by father, raising "sister"while still a child herself, and trying to excel in school to get into college as a young women in the 1960s. Trying to do both didn't really work for me. 3d

I went to an author event last night for R.F Kuang (moderated by Stephen Graham Jones*, hosted by @TatteredCoverBookStore and Trinity United Methodist church) and it was so fun! She had some fascinating points to make about magical systems, journeys to hell, logical paradoxes, and much more. I've read Yellowface, am partway through Babel, and will definitely be getting the Poppy Wars and the new book she announced last night. 🤩

August started off normally but around mid-month I fell into a deep slump. I couldn't seem to get through any book I started and it was so frustrating!

I have a finish! I'm just not sure what I think of it. For more than half the book we get a LOT of the main detective character exercising, deciding what to eat, describing Nantucket in way too much detail, thinking about his history- with plenty of info about his parents, wife, and sons- and, occasionally, thinking about the case he's been sent to oversee. The bones of a young child have been discovered at a construction site, which they've been

bookandbedandtea able to narrow down as being from the 70s-90s. But there are no reports of missing children from that time period. Several times I nearly quit because nothing seemed to be happening. Then, suddenly, the reader realizes something that reframes the story and some relevant information finally turns up. Now the whole thing has become pretty interesting. Even the sloooow beginning made sense but it was such a slog to get there. Between pick and so-so. 2w

Fanny: A Mansfield Park Story | Amelia Marie Logan
post image
Pickpick

I liked this. As much as Henry annoyed me in MP, I could see their story playing out this way. Since I don't particularly like Edmund in the original, I was perfectly fine with seeing him (not entirely happily) married to Mary, leaving Fanny to make a more interesting match. Henry does a lot of soul searching in this, a la Darcy, and I liked this version of him. Fanny was given a smidge of humor, which helped me with her. #JaneAustenThenAndNow

bookandbedandtea My complaint about this is that it was too long. There was a lot of repetitive naval-gazing on Fanny's part, which dragged it out and could absolutely have been reduced. 2w

This is suspenseful and creepy but not mysterious, (brief review in comment so as not to spoil @Jerdencon and @TheAromaofBooks )

bookandbedandtea as we discover who killed Audrey before the halfway mark. Instead it's slower paced and character driven. And these characters! They are all pretty messed up. Kate (mostly) through significant trauma but the rest of them (all men) are all varying degrees of creepy and wrong. It kept me turning pages while disrupting the notion of home as a safe place. 2w

Finished this while waiting for a concert at the lake. At times I was really concerned about how this would turn out but I was happy with the ending we got. I loved Alice & Edie. I especially loved Seb, & the kids were all great in their scenes too. I enjoyed A & E navigating each other's lives, making some things better, & dealing w the fallout when necessary. Soft pick because I did think it was a bit much for them to be switching at their age.

I've been in Ojai CA where Olivia has been hired to ghost write the memoir of a horror novelist who, rumor has it, murdered his siblings when he was 16. Oh, and said novelist is her estranged father who is losing his memory to disease! Olivia does manage to learn much of what happened and the story went places I wasn't expecting.

The Lost Van Gogh: A Novel | Jonathan Santlofer

Pickpick

This was OK. It's the 2nd in a series and, as I read, I recalled that I didn't particularly like any of the main characters. So that obviously dragged the book down for me. The idea of the book- an unknown Van Gogh turning up- is a thrilling possibility. This book introduced me to the controversy around his death and

bookandbedandtea led to me doing some research where I found that, while there's plenty to support the belief he committed suicide, there are quite a few discrepancies that allow for other possibilities. I love when a book leads me to research. However, there are a LOT of characters and interrelated storylines. I would have preferred this to be a little more streamlined. 1mo

There was a lot going on in this book: a current murder, a historical presumed suicide, a historical presumed accidental death, a bunch of actors (ie excellent liars) as suspects, some emotionally fraught circumstances for Lynley, some excellent detecting by Havers, and some political BS. It made for an entertaining read but I need to give this series a break now. I'm definitely going to continue but I need to read some other stuff first.

The world-building: not completely, but I understand enough for it not to get in the way of the story. Not my usual thing but I truly enjoyed it.

I read this (while enjoying this view 🤩) and it was fine. 🤷‍♀️ I was certainly interested in learning how a book about a fairytale world Hazel had made up as a child in England had been written by a young American author but it was too drawn out. I skimmed a bit here and there because things were taking too long.
Also, I'm kinda tired of love triangles and this one didn't have anything to cause me to feel an exception. I wish that either

bookandbedandtea B never existed in the story so that when she reconnected w/ H during her search she would have been free to start a new relationship w/ him, or that, upon reconnecting, she & H had determined that their feelings from when they were 15 years old had dissapated- as the attraction of 15 year olds is wont to do- & that she had happily carried on w/ her relationship w/ B. My annoyance w/ the unnecessary triangle overshadowed the mystery of Flora. 2mo

I'm not sure about this. It did not play out the way it sounded from the blurb & the expectations set by the cover. The story it does tell- of 3 women whose lives have take them places they don't want to be, and who have to decide what changes to make- is mostly good. My biggest complaint is that there's too much build up/ background for each

bookandbedandtea of these MCs such that the inciting incident doesn't take place until nearly the end. At which time things are wrapped up too quickly. Also, the "explanation" for David's behavior is absurd. The author dropped the ball there. 2mo

Nowhere to Hide | Nancy Bush

Liv's mother died by apparent suicide on her 6th birthday. On her 25th birthday she receives a packet from her mother's lawyer and everyone at her job is murdered while she's at lunch. Panicked, she goes on the run (and ends up attaching herself to a random guy who may not be so random) while trying to figure out what happened, then and now. So far so interesting. And I guess the suspense part of the book was OK. (Faint praise intended) ⬇️

bookandbedandtea But the romantic part? Yeah, not ok. First, there's no chemistry between Liv and Auggie that the reader can see. It's all proximity and stress. Which would have been OK but then they're in love! (The action takes place over approximately a week and they don't even meet for a couple days 🙄) I was pretty interested in both Auggie and his sister, who is the focus of the next book in the series, but I don't think I'll keep reading. 2mo

First I enjoyed Dex's & Mosscap's conversations about existence & identity. This has been described as "cozy sci-fi" which I think is very apt. But I could have used more world- building & plot. Also I loved the descriptions of Dex's wagon, the towns in Panga, & the tea "ceremony" itself but I was invested in their journey to becoming a successful tea monk & felt short changed that we're just told it took two years & lots of experimentation. ?‍♀️

bookandbedandtea I was fascinated by Mosscap and how he came to be, ie "wild-built." In fact, everything about the robots and the lives they've chosen was fascinating. 2mo

I get why all the other mothers hate Florence- I hate her too. She's self-absorbed and irresponsible. She's a bad sister and friend and, despite loving her son, is a terrible mother. She's morally flexible and does something quite awful in an attempt to protect her child from suspicion in the disappearance of a classmate. This was such an entertaining train-wreck I could not put it down! And the actual mystery (of the vanished boy) was good.
