so-soFebruary 2025 Book #7
Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️
A little late but here are my #Roll100 picks for May. I decided to go with all 6 numbers as 2 of them are for other challenges. Wish me luck!

My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️

I think the opening of this story was amazing but then it was like forgotten, not well connected with the rest of the story. I liked the characters and the mystery/horror that was hidden in these mountains that seem possessed Nick. But then, the story was dragged to explain all this possession which concluded with an ambiguous open ending. I think the idea was terrific but maybe needed some editing? 3⭐️
Following in the steps of @TheBookHippie I searched Pinterest for Literally My Character, but I‘m a Gemini and make my own rules, so I picked the first 8 instead of the first six. Also, replace “cat” with “dog” on the middle one.
Here we go! First #bookspin list of 2025!
I can‘t wait to see what you pick, Sarah! Thank you for continuing to host this challenge! I look forward to it every month! @TheAromaofBooks
Maybe the book was so well commented with great reviews and a rating of more that 4 stars in GR that I expected a stronger story🤷🏽♀️ 3⭐️ 20h
