I was hoping to complete an entire grid of mystery/thriller/mystical October books mostly from my own physical shelves, and this is my result. Tagged my favorite but it was really a toss up between the two ‘The Book of …‘.

pickThis story pulled me in from the very beginning and I had to know what was happening with these three boys and what Nancy had to do with their story? And those mothers what am I supposed to think about them? I was not expecting the story to go where it went. I‘m going to be thinking about this for a long time.

Squee!!! Yay!!! New mid-month #botm add-on from the author of Pet!!! Definitely in my box next month 😁💜👍🎉
pickWell that was weird but brilliant 🤩 to describe without any spoilers (I did guess quite early on but not confirmed until towards the end ) this novel is a mix of dystopian, sci fi , horror with a little real historical events thrown in. Right from the start you have a sense of forbidding a lingering unease at what‘s to unfold. I
so-soThis is going to be a So-So , light pick. I did feel the book was a compelling read , the writing was good , and there were some frightening scenes. But now that I‘m finished, I feel that I didn‘t really like it. Im left wanting something more from this compelling read. It feels too strange, I feel no connection to the characters , maybe that‘s the point. I did love Pet, but this is a very different book.
We are on a small break away. These are the books 🥰 I may not get much reading done, but I‘m loving the Catherine Chidgey so far ..
pickAll the stars! 🤩
Vincent, William and Laurence are triplets growing up in the UK in 1979 in a (slightly) alternate history.
They are the only children left in a home, where the other kids have all gone away to the promised land of Margate. They are cared for by Mother Morning, Mother Afternoon and Mother Night. Their dreams are recorded in the Book of Dreams, their misdeeds in the Book of Guilt.
I shall say no more, other than read it!
