Hey, @bibliotekate, do you like this book as much as I do?

Time Traveler's Wife | Audrey Niffenegger

I started this book when it first came out and abandoned it. This time I was pulled right into it: probably the difference between being 20-something and 40-something.

As the story went on, there was a lot about the relationship between Clare and Henry that made me uncomfortable. The story started to drag, and I found myself skimming.

I was glad to give it another try. As a writer, it helped me to think about constructing a book like a puzzle.

Bibliotekate Did you read Her Fearful Symmetry? 4y
megbmore @Bibliotekate Not yet. It does sound like something I would like, though. 4y

Next up for #jólabókaflóð : reading this gem aloud to my daughter. My son and I listened to this on audio. I'm hoping I can make it through the read-aloud without sobbing.

megbmore What did you think, @Johanna414? I loved it! I still have to write my review. It feels like a hard one to capture. 4y

If you like your Christmas picture books on the clever and funny side, this is a pick for you. Statler uses sly humor without losing any of the heart of the holidays. #picturebooks #Christmas

I'm listening to the New York Times Book Review podcast on the best books of 2020 and A Children's Bible jumped to the top of my TBR.

Mexican Gothic | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Cold and snowy Maine is far from the mountains of Mexico, but today's wintry mix was perfect for curling up under a blanket and finishing this mysterious and engaging novel. The novel has a slow burn start then ramps up the tension as Noemí discovers the terrifying strangeness of her cousin's new home and family. Mysticism, colonialism, and eugenics weave their way through this tale told in beautiful prose. A horror story that will stay with me.

SamAnne Completely out of my normal go to reading and I loved it. #blameitonlitsy 4y
megbmore @SamAnne it's definitely in my wheelhouse, and I loved it. 4y

When I saw the preview for Bridgerton, the new Shonda Rhimes series on Netflix, I was all like, “Yes, please.“ Then I found out it was based on the first book in Julia Quinn's series, so I requested The Duke & I from my library. It's fun: full of clever banter and steamy (but not super steamy) romance. It's a perfect pandemic treat of a read.

Bibliotekate So excited for this show! 4y
