I took a look at the lowest average ratings of the books I read in 2019 on Goodreads and wanted to talk with you about the 5 lowest rated books! https://youtu.be/4bcoOaAvUM4

#goodreadsratings #lowratings #booktalk #booktube #2019reads

EadieB @Butterflyamore I didn't read See What I Have Done but I did read The Borden Murders (3.74) by Sarah Miller (#litsyauthor) which was a 5 star read for me. I also read The Night Visitors (3.63) and gave it 4 stars.

abookishbutterfly @EadieB I haven‘t read any of those! 4y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB I added The Borden Murders to my list. I definitely prefer more historically accurate reads on the topic! 4y

EadieB @Butterflyamore Enjoyed your quotes. Hare some interesting quotes from books I have read:
“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.” – Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -The Little Prince

EadieB “Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it yet.” - L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe.” – Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.“ - Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl

EadieB “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” - Dr Seuss The Places You Will Go

“Just think happy thoughts and you‘ll fly.” – J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Forgot to post this last week — these were my last two print books of 2019. The Agatha Christie is The Mysterious Affair at Styles (the first one featuring Poirot).

I finished 2019 by just barely hitting my goal number of books read (finished my last book around 9:30pm on New Year‘s Eve!) In 2020, I‘m scaling my goals back just a bit so I‘m putting less pressure on myself in the last few months of the year.

Mehso-so

No Beast So Fierce recounts the dangerous hunt for a tiger that killed more than 400 people in Nepal and India in the early 1900s.

Though parts of the book are gripping, there were too many places where the author seems to be basing the storytelling on assumptions rather than historical sources. (“Surely, he would have felt...” / “Next, the tiger likely...”)

AvidReader25 I felt the same about this one. 4y
readtheworld @Avidreader25 Glad I‘m not the only one! I‘m glad I read it, but I think the book would have been stronger if it was stronger and stuck to the specific historical record. 4y
