Gissy (Cont.) In those parts during the 1920‘s we will know Candela and her secret. What happened to her? Her relation with the hotel, the village, the song and why all their is connected with Sandra. This is a paranormal/mystery with a touch of thriller. It is a long novel (600 pages) so many things happen. Let‘s say that is not a great novel because there were part of this paranormal element that I found absurd, but kept my attention.⬇️ 3mo

Gissy I liked more those past parts than the present; and there were characters in the present time that I enjoyed more than the main character🤷🏽‍♀️If you see the cover, you will see a clue.

First time I read a novel by this author. 3.5/3.8⭐️

I started this book just before I took a new position with a new company, so it was really just more of a validation that I had done things the right way than any kind of instruction manual for me. It was still interesting. And validating. #40-2023

So Faith‘s new man, Aiden, just mentioned that he never did cocaine because of what happened to Regina Morrow in Sweet Valley High, which is the SAME reason I‘ve never done the devil‘s dandruff! Also, I was on the Reading Team in high school, not really the cocaine crowd. I‘ve never even had the opportunity to say no, but I would have! RIP Regina!

MidnightBookGirl Just for the curious it was #40. I‘m still not over it as she was one of my favorite SVH characters and made Bruce not be a total dick for a book or two. 9mo
CBee OMG!!! ME TOO 😳😳😳 That‘s uncanny. And that‘s probably my fave SVH book. 9mo
CBee The devils dandruff 😂😂 9mo
MidnightBookGirl @CBee so I found several other people online who were also scared straight by Regina Morrow‘s cocaine death. We aren‘t alone! 9mo
CBee @MidnightBookGirl and I mean, I totally had friends who did coke, but I ALWAYS thought of Regina and never did. She definitely got the message across for me! 9mo

I‘ve read many historical fiction novels, but none about the IRA. This was great writing and I kept wanting more. I don‘t understand how someone in the “witness protection program” can have contact with anyone from their former life, that part left me with a facepalm. Book #40 in 2023

Book #40
4.5/5
This YA read is surprisingly insightful and wrll-written. It is written from the POV of a young girl who lives with her 3 younger siblings, her mom, and her youngest sibling's dad. There are themes of domestic abuse, poverty, and parentification (if you don't know, Google it - it's a thing).

Kris10H My only complaint is that I think it could have gone even farther with the characters and storyline - but then I guess it might not be suitable for the YA audience. 10mo

One of my favorite TV series is Halt and Catch Fire. The show takes place in the early 1980‘s and is about creating personal computers and the beginning of the internet. What I enjoy about the show are the characters & their development. The computer info is interesting but not the main draw for me. It‘s the same with this story. I am not a gamer but the character development drew me in. This is just a wonderful story to spend time with. #TOB23

Hooked_on_books I really liked this one, too. ☺️ 1y

Cinfhen Excellent review!!! Exactly how I felt!! 1y
sarahbarnes Great review! I haven‘t read this one because the subject of gaming didn‘t sound interesting to me, but your review is making me reconsider! 1y
Ruthiella I‘m definitely interested in this. I started another book by Zevin years ago and DNFed it, but I‘m willing to give her another try. 1y
Readerann I saw this just won the Goodreads award for fiction! I‘m glad I had already placed my library hold (#40 of 72 now). 1y
Megabooks I have not watched that show, but I love character-driven stories, so thank you for letting me know about that tv show. I loved this book for that reason too. (edited) 1y
Megabooks Excellent review as well! 1y
Suet624 @BarbaraBB I've watched the series twice and I'm ready for another viewing. :) 1y
Suet624 @squirrelbrain @hooked_on_books I'm so glad you liked this too. 1y
Suet624 @Cinfhen Somehow Zevin made those characters mean an awful lot to me. :) 1y
Suet624 @sarahbarnes I put off reading this for a very long time and it's only because of the TOB that I read it. But it's really just a lovely story about three very dear individuals. 1y
Suet624 @Ruthiella Well, I've noticed there are some folks who really didn't like it, so maybe take a peek and see what you think. 1y
Suet624 @Readerann I saw that too! Hopefully that hold gets to you soon. 1y
Suet624 @Megabooks As I mentioned to Barbara, I've watched this series twice already and am ready to watch it again. Each character has such an interesting character arc. I hope you can find it and I sure hope you enjoy it. :) 1y
kspenmoll Your review is a help! Now I will put a library hold on it. 💕 1y
