pickThis book is breathtaking. The writing is exquisite. SO worth the many months I waited for a library copy. The mystery/thriller element was entertaining, and there were enough twists that I was surprised by everything. But it was the nature writing that moved me so much, both vibrant and quiet. And the steady love Dominic had for his children, even though he wasn‘t very confident in his parenting. Hands-down my favorite book of the year so far.
pickWords cannot describe how incredible this is. Believe the hype!! I‘m glad I knew practically nothing going into it, so I won‘t say too much, only that by the end it wrecked me in the best possible way.
Gorgeous writing—in style, plot, and language—and something that will stick with me for a long time.
Cinematic storytelling… I know this will be turned into a brilliant, star-studded film… and I won‘t want to see it because the book is too good 😭😄
pickThis book was ambitious in many ways-plot, setting and characters. Beautifully written and despite a dire situation this traumatized family and the stranger that washed on shore discovered by loving all living things you can learn how to better love your own family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘m so excited to finally be starting this, especially going into the weekend!
I had to wait for a library copy for-e-ver. I have high hopes!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
pickThis book is light suspense × The Scent Keeper (Erica Bauermeister)
I liked it, nothing is what it seems.
pickThe end was a thrill; I woke up last night and had to listen thru the climax. I appreciated the structure in that it‘s not linear and the backstory slowly reveals itself. That‘s always the best way to build suspense & interest. 😄
I have to say, it was a pretty great set of books this month. Railway Man was the only acceptation, I was about 20 pages from the end and realized I‘ve read this before or I‘ve seen this documentary. So it was a little bit of a let down….
pickLent to me by a friend , I finished this a few days ago. Needed time to think about it. It‘s set on an island and it lead me along and kept me reading with clues to something that had happened. A cast of characters , a family of dad and 3 kids and a mysterious young woman washed up. In the end I had to speed read , the suspense was getting at me and I needed to know the end. Her previous book recommended many time by friends , might give it a go.
pickThis now my favorite read of the year. The writing, the descriptions, the characters, the suspense, the mystery, the love. It has it all. Set on a remote island near Antarctica that has a scientific base, Dom and his three kids find a woman‘s body just before they know that all need to leave the island. So good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
