Las Vegas/ Black Mountains ⛰️
The narrator is a dog who wakes up with human level intelligence. Rescued & treated by Dr. Francis
-a vet that he can actually talk to-
he befriends a silly pug (with the intelligence of a pug)
& set off on a surreal quest to uncover why he thinks like a person. It‘s a canine mystery wrapped in desert, dust, & neon light. 🐕 🎰

my mediocre #weekendreads
I‘m unfortunately not feeling either of these right now.
I have many books on hold at the #library that I‘m looking forward to & I think it‘s distracting me from the book I‘m currently reading 😐

I loved this so much!
I think the pacing is absolutely perfect. Not too slow, but slow enough to really catch onto how reality TV breeds corruption & manipulation. 👌
I definitely wanted more from the ending though, like seeing how the contestants adjusted to the “outside world” after leaving the show.

#wdncw that i have to sit with a story for a while before reviewing it.🙂
The Deep is inspired by a song by ‘clipping.‘
it imagines an underwater society born from the trama of the slave trade. haunting, dreamy, & emotionally resonant.
Yetu, the mermaid historian, carries the weight of memory until it nearly breaks her. she meets Oori & their bond is soft & healing. A reminder that connection can be chosen 💗

I just love this note from Moore at the end of this story💓

“I could not give Wally or her #contemporary agency, but what I could do was portray her as resilient, clever, loving, courageous, resourceful, and #funny. For me, even though it was a story of a fictitious character from literature & a cast of #historical figures, Anima Rising became Wally‘s book. For me, her memory has been a blessing.”

I forgot to update on this one & I‘m sad to say that i was baited with #cozyreads
It‘s cute, wholesome, & reads like YA.. until BAM💥
random #smut scenes everywhere?!
the adult language sounded like teenagers trying to be edgy, not a group of adults who hit the bars.
I wanted cozy chaos & got tonal whiplash.
Would anyone recommend the rest of the series or was this a sign to turn back before I get hexed again?😬

I never read as much as I think I will on vacation 😅

familiarize yourself with Magdalene Laundries before reading this otherwise you may miss the full emotional weight. I wanted more aftermath, but maybe that was the point. that small mercies fight systems built on shame & kindness doesn‘t always come with closure. ⛪️

a novella that unfolds on the day Sputnik2 launches – but the real tension is domestic. Kathleen floats in a pool while her marriage teeters, while she quietly rebels against expectation. the symbolism is direct & sharp, showing what it means to break orbit in your own life. unsettling & a bit deceitful 🛰️🌏#tuesdaytreasure #uncommon #historicalfiction #literaryfiction #symbolism #shortbooks #novella

i‘m having a good time w/ this, but the “grown up” conversations between the adults are childish.
the way serious literary themes are handled might not resonate with the intended adult audience.
I don‘t know how to feel yet 🤷

love a whimsy childlike book but in my opinion it should be labeled YA literary fiction

not your average revolution.
more of a reimagined #BastilleDay but still has the spirit of 1789 through a modern San Francisco family.
It‘s messy, rebellious, & full of heart 🇫🇷
there‘s a chapter called The Tennis Court Oath which also happened in 1789.

feels like this was designed to be an easy read & emotionally soothing, but it lingers on the idea of suicide & regret without fully honoring the complexity of depression.
at times, it felt more dismissive than healing.
though the writing stays calm & hopeful, it could be a tough read if you‘re emotionally vulnerable.
Nonetheless, I love self-help fiction with a bit of magic realism #magicrealism #hopeful #audiobooks #bibliophile #librarybooks
