Odd & True
Odd & True | Cat Winters
39 posts | 20 read | 84 to read
Trudchen grew up hearing Odette's stories of their monster-slaying mother and a magician's curse. But now that Tru's older, she's starting to wonder if her older sister's tales were just comforting lies, especially because there's nothing fantastic about her own life--permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio. In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it's Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters' search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that's wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister--despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances--might, indeed, have magic after all.

#AutumnPlease

After reading another book from this author years ago, I put this one on my TBR but have not read it. One of the sisters had childhood polio & is permanently disabled & in pain from it. #WorldPolioDay

On the third instalment of weird printing issues with my current read. Obviously was a typo or a misprint somewhere as this section has a pink piece glued down over a section of the page.

So far with all the discovery of the odd things , no parts of the story are missing so at least that a good thing.

And the Oddness continues… they obviously had some printing mishaps. This is two blank pages glued together. The next page after the jagged piece I just posted . 🤪

“Ending are beginnings in disguise, dear Tru. They signify one door closing and another one opening. They mark the point where the heroine transforms from a person who‘s been beaten and badgered and bolstered by life into someone who‘s about to shed her past and metamorphose into an entirely new creature.”
This book was good. Not quite what I was expecting but it was still a good read.

#LittensDressedInBlood September is here! Today‘s prompt: Bad Moon on the Rise.

This book has been on my TBR since it's release. I'm hoping to actually read it this year!

September is all about the song lyrics, so you can interpret them as you please, join in any time, and no, you don't have to be a horror fan to be a Litten Dressed in Blood- I just took that from Anna Dressed in Blood book. Happy soon to be Fall, ya'll!

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm So I just realized why I haven‘t been getting the notifications for your posts even though I‘m tagged. You‘ve got Whooping in my name instead of Whopping. 😜❤️ 3y
WJCintron This sounds like so much fun! I would like to participate. How does it works? I have to post a photo with a book with a moon on the cover, or that says moon on the title? Or any other word from the daily prompt? 😃 3y

How much of the family legends are true? How much is just a sister trying to make a world magical and meaningful?

This is slightly melancholy, and a good examination of sisters and families. Not necessarily a lot of supernatural adventuring.

I‘m pretty sure I do not have the discipline for a True book buying ban. Oddly, I am excited to participate in the #unreadshelfproject2018 and #mounttbrchallenge.

I have not counted how many unread books I own. Let‘s just say there are a lot.
This Bingo card has only books I own, mostly physical books. I‘m going to try and fill this card this year. If I do fill it, then I‘ll make a new one, and so in. Trying to tame my #mounttbr

Cupofjo What a great idea! 6y

We don‘t have a B&N in Clarksville, we have to drive to Nashville or go when I am visiting my parents. The fact that the Lovely Ladies sent me gift cards to my parents was just amazing, and we went today! So many hardbacks on sale, plus 30% off coupon, plus member discount, plus those gift cards... this was an EPIC hardback #BookHaul and I even got a signed copy of Yoon‘s book I have been wanting. Thank you all so much! It really made my day ❤️

Today's #souoersundays soup was tossed together from the pantry & spice cabinet: Creamy Middle Eastern Red Lentil Soup with Israeli Couscous & Harissa-Mint Yogurt. 🍲❤️ Really good & hit the spot. I started a bit of this book over an early dinner. I liked the author's Yesternight but have not read any of her other books. This one caught my eye at the library this week. (Link to blog post soup recipe is below)

4⭐️ book that was pretty solidly consistent in its storytelling. I loved that for the majority of this book I was questioning fact vs fiction, what is true, and is perception reality? The sister bond, love, and loyalty was touching. This book kept me riveted most of a Saturday. The magic, mystery, fantasy, and fantastic storytelling will sweep you away from the ordinary into the question of the extraordinary.

I picked this up for my next read because I love Cat Winters, yes, but because it sounded like a fairytale romp with monster-fighting sisters. Oh, it is so much more and different than that! Beautiful sister relationship, real-life heartbreaks, a disabled MC, and lots of family secrets, plus a gorgeous storytelling style oscillating between the 2 narrators back & forth in time. Challenges what you think you know about myth-making & tough girls.

Jess_Read_This How far into the book were you entirely questioning Odette‘s sanity? I honestly was questioning it the majority of the book. That keeping me guessing with the back a forth points of view really made me enjoy this book. 6y
elkeOriginal @Jess_Read_This Almost the whole time! That was SO well done 👍🏻 6y

I adored this book! It's is physically GORGEOUSLY designed on the outside, under the dust jacket and the inside.

There is basically no romance...IN A YA HISTORICAL FANTASY FICTION *shocked smile* told through past and present tense chapters

The sister love and personal development is so good and important and well done. Life got members of this family down a lot and it broke my heart but they're so resilient and strong and I love it SO MUCH!

DaviBooktrovert YA without romance is so rare! I'll definitely check this book out! 7y

The cover is what immediately drew my attention, it put to mind a kind of 1900‘s Buffy.
What I got was a much subtler, but no less enjoyable, character driven story. I would recommend it for people that like slow building character driven novels about female familial relationships and the many different strengths of young women.

Absolutely delightful. Od and Tru have such a sweet bond with each other. This is a book with a big heart. Cat Winters with another home run. The Cure For Dreaming and Odd & True are definitely cut from the same cloth.

OMG OMG OMG. Lookie what a delightful Canadian #bookfairy surprised me with today! 🙀🙀🙀
Favorite author. New book. SIGNED.
I actually screeched when I opened it.
Thank you @KassKho !!
Perfect October read 🍁🍁

p.s. I was SO confused to get a mystery box from Powell's Books - I thought I must have ordered something while in a fugue state (again) and started to worry about my sanity 😉

KassKho Haha! Yay I'm glad you got it! I was getting a little worried there ?? it was a weird by chance thing because I knew I wanted to send you something and I wondered if she had a new book coming our. Then voilà! A signed one from Powell! 7y
elkeOriginal @KassKho It's amazing!! I forgot she lives in Portland and was so surprised to see it was signed! Matches my signed copy of Blackbirds now 💕 7y

This book doesn't come out until September and I have had it on my goodreads TBR for a few months now. Well, this is now one of my current reads! I got an email from netgalley this morning saying I got an arc! Yay! So, I'm reading it on my kindle app. I also have 6 other arcs to read...
