Definitely recommended📚

A wonderful story/history with oh so many feels❤️‍🔥 I took my time & listened to many of their songs, on Spotify, throughout this read.🤓

I think I would have enjoyed this more as an audiobook, only because I found it to be a bit dense & therefore a slog at times.

Is Mother Dead | Vigdis Hjorth

Johanna is back in Norway after a long absence. She hasn‘t been in touch with her family for years but now that‘s she‘s back the past catches up with her and she wants to talk to her mother. It becomes an obsession, she continuously imagines what goes in on her mother‘s mind but can‘t understand why her mother doesn‘t want to reconnect. ⬇️⬇️

BarbaraBB Johanna is an unreliable narrator yet we only have her point of view. We don‘t know what‘s true and what isn‘t, just how big the impact is of a mother on her daughter and vice versa.

A fabulous sad read that I‘ll be thinking of for a while.

A solid entry, though a little slower and less action packed than other volumes. 4⭐️

Also another #Roll100 pick done!

DGRachel Oh wow. Vol 12? I‘m way behind. 😕 4d

3.5/5⭐ Cute and meaningful without being over the top about it. There isn't too much depth, but there's a lot of heart. The artwork is full of wonderful details. #roll100

Lots of romance tropes in this one and they were done well. I usually don‘t like poor communication but O‘Leary did a great job weaving this story and pulling everything together.

I love this book SO much!! It‘s the 2nd book in Brin‘s Uplift series and I enjoyed it even more than the 1st, and I loved that one too! This story is set centuries later with an entirely different cast of characters. A spaceship with a crew of humans, dolphins and a chimp, stumbles upon a history altering find out in space. Now it finds itself the focus of countless dangerous galactic enemies. An epic science fiction adventure follows that⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm had me turning page after page. The multiple POVs is done really well, especially with the different species. I look forward to the next in this trilogy.

This was one of my #Roll100 picks for March.

This was fine, it just was rather slow and I never felt that connected to either main character. It felt between a romance and a horror and historical fiction, never fully connecting to any of those genres. The writing is beautiful though. 3⭐️
First May #roll100 pick done!

PuddleJumper Wahoo! 4d

2/5⭐ The description is beautiful, but there's no hook and it's slow. Not for me. #roll100
