Christ on a Bike

pick

This was very different than I expected, but it left me questioning (in a good way)!

Faced with an unexpected inheritance and some strange accompanying rules, Cerys moves to an isolated house in Wales and is forced to contend with everyone's views on her windfall, including her own. I was expecting a lighter comedy, but this one goes to some darker places. Would be an interesting one to read with a group!

My #readyourkindle numbers for May. Christ on a Bike is a repeat from an earlier month, so I should really prioritise that 😬 Will I get to any of them? Maybe. I managed one in April 😅

I enjoyed the tagged book a lot and loved River East River West. Both others I bailed on. I feel guilty about that but I couldn‘t concentrate on the style and language of both books and lost track and motivation. Maybe one day I‘ll try again.

TrishB Perfectly acceptable bails 😁 1y

BarbaraBB @TrishB Thanks! I thought so too 😀 1y

Rissreadswithcats Too many other books waiting, possibly fabulous ones! I give a book a 100 pages and if I‘m not enjoying it then I will move on! 1y

BarbaraBB @Rissreads Yes I do that too now. Life‘s too short 😀 1y

Cetus inherited a significant fortune from a total stranger but she is legally unable to share it with anyone else. This is a reality with which she has to deal while enjoying her inheritance. It‘s a compelling setup and the book raises so many questions about greed and wealth and happiness. Quite an original plot! Thank you for bringing it to my attention @TrishB !

I absolutely loved this. Quirky, with vulnerable characters and a very moral/ethical plot. Which has you questioning, what would I do? I loved Cerys as a MC.
It‘s the author‘s 3rd book so I have, of course, just ordered the 1st and 2nd.

Deblovestoread Sounds great. Stacked 2y

Oryx Damn, she was at Blackwells in Manchester a few days ago and I didn't go. Should have taken a chance! 2y

TrishB @Oryx oh that‘s a shame! I think you‘ll like this. I‘m going to keep my eye out for anymore author things as I‘d definitely go. 2y

squirrelbrain Sounds great - stacking. 2y

TrishB @squirrelbrain from an indie publisher in Hebden Bridge- you probably already know of them! 2y

squirrelbrain Just looked them up - and I recall reading the article in The Guardian last year. I may order this, as I‘m wondering about the Women‘s Prize…. It‘s eligible. 🤔 2y

BarbaraBB Stacked!! 2y

TrishB @squirrelbrain 👍🏻 2y
