#AAM I needed a distraction today and couldn‘t settle on anything, so in the end I decided I‘d revisit this before picking up the sequel. I found reading it a second time around a less all consuming experience that I got swept up in, and a more analytical one that had me noticing new details. But it was just as funny, charming, and heartwarming as I remember it. @Soubhiville

Under the Whispering Door | Tj Klune

I found out some truly distressing/heartbreaking news this week (I'm fine, my family's fine), so I binge read this book to soothe my heart. I have been extremely fortunate in my life to not have experienced much deep loss in my life, but this book healed my bruised heart in ways it's hard to explain. I can't overstate how much the descriptions of death made me feel better. Highly recommended.

In the Lives of Puppets | Tj Klune

bailed

#AAM At 36% there‘s nothing I dis-like about it but nothing I particularly like either. I also bailed on The Extraordinaries after just 1 ch. I‘m surprised because I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea & Under the Whispering Door. I have a hold on Somewhere Beyond the Sea but that‘s months out. Hoopla has tons of other options & they all sound really different, but I‘m not exactly drawn to the blurbs so I‘m wondering if it‘s worth trying one more?

Melismatic I loved Cerulean and hated this one, if it helps. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

IndoorDame @Melismatic Thanks, it does help! All his books just seem so different. Maybe it was the story I loved, not the author, and I‘ll just stop combing through his catalog. 1mo

dabbe #allhailthebail! #betterbooksahead 🙌 1mo

BookmarkTavern I was disappointed in this one too, but I adored Under the Whispering Door. (edited) 1mo

Larkken @Melismatic same. Maybe the sequel will be in the same vein? I‘m trying Wolfsong rn and hoping for something more like CS since my hold for the sequel is way out into next year. 1mo

Tipping The Velvet | Sarah Waters

#AAM This was perfect! I loved getting a glimpse into late 19th century queer London, and finally reading one of our first proper lesbian romances. These characters and their story struck me as sweet, but not in a sugar-spun, wholesome way. I‘m not sure what the quintessential queer romance story is, but it‘s not waltzing with Prince Charming and some chipmunks in the forest. 👇🏼

Soubhiville

IndoorDame Most everyone I know from the queer community in my generation is a little dark and messy, and we all have a past, so this story is relatable, and as close to that ideal as anything else. 2mo

AmyG I loved the ending. 2mo

IndoorDame @AmyG the ending was very cinemagraphic and super satisfying, but I really fell in love with the mini resolution leading up to it a chapter or two before where they both laid their ghosts to rest and found a way to be comfortable in their imperfect relationship 2mo

One print book, one audiobook (#AuthorAMonth #AAM), and one ebook (#CampNetGalley #NetGalley #ARC)! I think I'm officially back to reading, after six months of barely reading at all. 😊📚

This is a GREAT beach read, fast-paced and easy to read. I hated the entitled, self-centered unreliable narrator and enjoyed rooting for her downfall. The critiques of the racist, toxic publishing industry and online book world (Twitter, etc.) added something deeper to the book, although part of me wishes the book were far more complex - maybe with multiple versions of the narrative like Hernan Diaz's Trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #AuthorAMonth #AAM @Soubhiville
