"Don't you hate it sometimes? Being a grown-up. Get a job, get a better one, pay taxes, pay more taxes, same old, same old. We are only alive at weekends, the rest of the time, were hamsters in a wheel. And we can never quit spinning, cause there's always another bill, another mortgage, another... What the hell, another brat, to keep the wheel turning."

"We think we are in control of our lives, but we aren't. Most of the time we don't know what we are doing, and sheep like, we follow something, call it fate, the subconscious mind, or the whims of a dumb moped."

"Casalfranco was like a rubber band: You could stretch it, but sooner or later it would snap you back in place."

I learned my lesson in not judging a book by its cover. I thought the cover of this book looked very similar to the cover of "The Book of Lost Things" and set myself up for a very confusing roller coaster ride as this book is nothing like TBOLT. It was an interesting read, but definitely was not what I was expecting. This author has been deemed the "Italian Neil Gaiman," but I think that's quite a stretch.

I tired to read this, but I just couldn‘t. Way too sexist.

I loved this book because I could not put it down, I read it at a time when I really needed to be swept up in something and these 3 friends‘ search for those missing childhood friend was exactly what I needed.

Another intriguing book that was part of my #SSS swap hosted deftly by @Avanders and sent by the one and only @Wonderwoman89 😁👍

Another new author for me to discover! The actual book itself is beautifully printed with an embossed cover. The story sounds fascinating: four life long friends, one goes missing and the discovery of an enigmatic Book

So much work to get done and now I just want to sit here and pore over these thoughtful gifts.

Even though I'm already reading two books why not another, only 30 pages in but good so far.

Everyone in this book is an asshole, and I'm still not sure what I think. I was hooked on the mystery of it, but... I don't know. Despite the glowing reviews I've seen from bloggers I trust, I'm not sold on it.

4 friends agree to meet up every year and have done so for a long time. Only this time, one is missing and no one knows where he is. He left behind some mysterious clues and a self written book called “The Book of Hidden Things”. I‘m a little over half way done and we are just now picking up speed in the story. Looking forward to seeing the “Hidden Things”!

Classes have started back up so I need to cull my library stack 😬! I already have three in my returns bag, what will make the cut?? #libraryaddict

Good morning beautiful souls 🖤✨ I finished The Book of Hidden Things last night. Oh My Gods!! This book! There are no words. NO. WORDS. It‘s is sublime. I think this is the first 5 star rating I‘ve given in a long time now.
I‘ve posted a full review on my blog: https://mysticreadsbookblogblog.wordpress.com/2018/08/31/the-book-of-hidden-thin...
TBOHT is available now from all good bookstores 🙏✨

I‘m finding myself blown away by this book. It‘s way more than I was expecting. I can‘t really put into words how much I‘m enjoying it. It‘s mystery, fantasy,magic, mayhem — absolute chaos in book form. I cannot put it down.

The characters are unlovable yet wonderful, the intrigue has me hooked. 🖤✨🙊 #currentlyreading #fantasy #mystery #darkliterature #bookstamums #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile

Late night thoughts... 🖤✨

So, I‘m 100 pages into The Book of Hidden Things and I can actually see the “Donna Tartt” ness that I was told about. It‘s not a patch on Tartt‘s writing but the plot and atmosphere has great The Secret History vibes and has kept me reading late into the night. I‘m eager to read more and see where this goes. For now, sleep, because I feel like a badgers arse. 🤦🏼‍♀️✨#currentlyreading #booklover #bibliophile #bookblog

It‘s been a long time coming but I‘m finally getting around to my backlogged review copies. Starting it off right with Francesco Dimitri‘s The Book of Hidden Things which is marketed as the lovechild of Donna Tartt and Neil Gaiman. You had me at Donna Tartt, of course! Huge thank you to @titan_books for sending me this beautiful looking book. #bookstamums #booklover #bookaddict #bookworm #bobliophile #bookish #bookblog
