I felt like I was floating through Where the Crawdads Sing but with Victor LaValle as my swamp guide. Creepy, yet beautiful, I loved the tension, action, & thoughtful characterization in Davidson‘s writing. A deftly woven tale of horror, myth, murder, and gritty Americana, TBD is a book I‘d highly recommend for late night reading on a bayou. Was that a catamount or a woman screaming? Think I‘ll lock the doors and turn out the lights! 4/5⭐️

I‘m finally getting last round of #LMPBC book back to its owner! Sorry it took so long, but I added a treat to help sweeten its delay! I enjoyed this fast paced read and would love to see the Tundar landscape! I did get annoyed with Sena‘s actions but I‘ve come to believe that this is because I‘m old as dirt and have to really think outside myself to get some adolescent characters. I‘ll give this 3.5/5⭐️Thanks for sharing!

LibrarianRyan I agree. And I still have your book in entered hiding season and have so much mandatory reading I am not very far. I can send it back now if you want me to. 5d
Readergrrl @LibrarianRyan Keep it until you can read it! It was a great book and I think you‘d like it! I‘m a firm believer in No-Pressure-November (and every other month too) and it would be fairly hypocritical of me to be mad over a late book. 🤣🤣🤣 5d
KateReadsYA Awww thank you! I'm glad you read it. (: 5d
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I had some mixed feelings about this one as well. What can you do - kids these days! 😂 😂 😂 5d

Weyward: A Novel | Emilia Hart

I read this novel in just a couple of sittings and enjoyed it thoroughly! Not a cozy witch book, but also not too scary. I loved Corrag more, but Weyward was well worth the read! I liked the interwoven timelines and I felt that plot kept me well engaged and turning pages. I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves the human story behind the fantasy. 3.5/4 out of 5 ⭐️

Imaginary Friend | Steven Chbosky

I enjoyed listening to the audio book of this novel. The allegorical aspects of the main conflict were well conceived and I didn‘t find their use heavy handed. Chbosky kept me engaged with the plot and the suspense was strong to keep me listening without diving into horror overkill. I did find myself spacing out occasionally and I‘m not sure why. Overall though, I really did enjoy the story and would recommend it to others. A solid 4/5⭐️

Just got this in the mail today! I had so much fun reading this book! Chambers does such a great job of writing her characters with humor, sensitivity, and insight! Some might say that SciFi is too “out there,” but she proved that aliens, rocketships, and space travel are just as engaging, exciting, and humanly relevant as any Earthly novel. I loved each character and the adventure was fun & exciting! Eager to read the next in the series! 4.5/5⭐️

Readergrrl I should add that I received a package from @LibrarianRyan but I have yet to open it. I‘m up in Canada for the summer and my husband will be bringing it from CT here to me in Canada next week. I‘m looking forward to reading it!! 4mo

Corrag | Susan Fletcher
post image
Pickpick

I adored this novel. Semi-epistolary, this book tells the story of Corrag, an accused witch living in Glencoe, who warned the MacDonalds of the impending massacre by the Campbells and William of Orange. Based upon real events and people, this story was so beautifully written and both achingly bittersweet and philosophically pertinent to me that I‘m already planning a reread. The image reminds me of a trip I took to Scotland a few years ago. 5/5⭐️

Readergrrl I definitely teared up a few times while reading this. 5mo

I found this to be an intriguing, deeply contemplative literary work. What struck me most about it was its ability to encapsulate the multifaceted nature of relationships. Through the narrator's encounters with friends, lovers, & acquaintances, the book offers profound insights into the intricacies of human connections. It reminded me of the various people who have passed through my own life, leaving indelible marks & shaping my journey. 4.5/5⭐

This was a great roadtrip read & palate cleanser after a heavy novel. I enjoyed KBB, but don‘t know that I‘ll read the next in the series. I enjoyed the world building & the morally grey love interest, but the heroine was frustratingly pigheaded. The🌶️🌶️🌶️was fine with me 😉, but Isolde kept making such dumb choices that I questioned why Adrian would want her as partner & co-regent. Not bad, just needed more character development. Overall 3/5⭐️

This fast read kept me on my toes and turning pages! Tieg and Prentiss are filming a documentary about Siberia‘s Road of Bones but are thrown off course by a parnee, supernatural wolves, and antlered beings. Add a strange little girl who may not be what she appears and it wasn‘t just the arctic setting with subzero temps that kept my hair standing on end! Interesting folklore and I learned a bit about the gulags and local people of Siberia. 4/5⭐️

5/5⭐️ What a beautiful historical fiction novel! An indigenous mother & daughter are caught in the turmoil of the 1600s French/English colonization of Algonquin territory. Told from 2 POVs, each woman expresses their hopes and dreams while struggling to navigate the demands of the Catholic Church and their own desire for autonomy. Beautiful and haunting, I will not forget Marie and Jeanne‘s love for each other and their hopes for the future.

4.5/5⭐️ Quiet & introspective with enough suspense to keep me hooked! But it was the beautiful writing that kept the pages turning. Reminiscent of Atkinson‘s Life After Life, Anya is an immortal blood drinker compelled to protect those she loves, haunted by tragedy, and hunted by a dark entity across time and continents. Artist and teacher, Anya will stay with me for a long time. Highly recommend for those looking for something a little deeper.

Reread this novel in order to start Hell Bent. I loved it just as much as the first time. If you‘re interested in an alternative New Haven CT history and all things Yale, then this might be the novel for you. Exciting and suspenseful with elements of reality and magic juxtaposed with delightful world-building and a slow, slow burn romance (maybe, hopefully?). 5/5⭐️

Peaces: A Novel | Helen Oyeyemi

@ncsufoxes I absolutely LOVE my #Blitsy box! Thank you so much! The Changeling is one of my FAVORITE books (yes, I‘ve read it before), but I suggest it to my 12th graders so much that my copies keep walking away! This is perfect timing because I have a student right now who wants to read it but I had no copies to share! I haven‘t read Peaces yet, so I‘m starting that tonight. Everything is perfect: the sleeve, the puzzle, the book marks. I ❤️ it!!

Readergrrl I should also say that the quilt puzzle has special importance to me. My mother was a master quilter. She and I went to an exhibit at the New Britain Museum of Fine Arts that explored the history of quilting in America. A large portion of the exhibit studied the importance of quilting as story-telling, message-bearing, and quiet rebellion to enslaved people in America. It was fascinating and we learned so much. I think fondly of that day often! 9mo
Chelleo What an awesome package. Love hearing about the quilting exhibit too! 9mo
ncsufoxes I‘m so glad that you liked everything. I bought that puzzle for myself a few months ago (still haven‘t put it together) & loved it. So happy that I chose that item. Enjoy! 9mo

A classic SAA novel! Like Garden Spells & The Sugar Queen, I left Other Birds feeling like I‘d just visited a beautiful location.

Pickpick


I had so much fun reading this magical-just-cozy-enough-mystery! The dialogue between spinster-like Hulda and eternal-bachelor Merritt was smart, witty, and not saccharine at all! I thought Holmberg did a nice job with her world-building and plot development. While there were no major surprises for me, I still enjoyed the storyline and give this a solid 3.5/5⭐️ I‘m a full 2 weeks late mailing this out so I‘ve added some treats for @Johanna414

Readergrrl I popped this into the mail today. It should be to @Johanna414 in a couple of days. #LMPBC 9mo

Hi #GroupJ I‘m a little late sending out Enchanted Rooms (January seemed filled with too much to get much good reading done), but I will mail ASAP. I have received Other Birds and, now that things have calmed down a bit here, I‘m very eager to read that too!! #LMPBC

Johanna414 Not a problem! 10mo
