bailedI tried this both on #audio and in book form, and just not feeling it. Got it as part of a subscription service and New Adult is just a hard genre for me to get into. For the right person, this could be a pick, just not for me.
pickThis book does what all great historical fiction does-brings a time, place, and group of (mostly) real people to life. I knew almost nothing about the Cuban revolution in the 1890s and Cleeton deftly set the stage and made me care about characters with 3 distinct points of view which, together, tells the whole story. #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
so-soNot my favorite of hers but a quick and quirky distraction on #audio while walking. I liked the setting and set up, but the characters get her 3 novellas were just too similar to feel authentic. Not sure I would have stayed with it if reading.
pickAmazing! The prose in this book is transforming, lyrical, and gorgeous. It paints a picture of the people, places, and moments in a way that makes you feel like you are part of the story and experiencing it along with the characters. I listened on #audio but want to read the hard copy I own too. Perfect for summer with all the travel bits, fabulous art references, and great #lgbtqia+ representation. #BookspinBingo #BOTM @TheAromaofBooks

Well not sure what all that was about as literally nothing happened ok the girls disappeared but then the booked moved onto the school saving it‘s reputation really not sure how I feel about it overall
pickReally good! All the best elements of a thriller are here: solid mystery, spooky atmosphere, complicated characters, satisfying unexpected ending. Great listen on #audio! #joysofjune #readthon #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65
so-soThis was good, but felt a little predictable and tidied up too easily at the end for me. I liked the gossipy, cult of celebrity piece, it was unique and fun, but it just fell short. The #audio was good, I loved the cover, enjoyed the narrator and it kept me walking. I might try another from Lloyd, maybe I just wasn‘t in the mood for this one now. #BookpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Doublespin
pickMy goodness, this was wonderful. Beautifully written, perfectly paced, I really appreciated learning about this painful history with my first @ChrisBohjalian book. The way he makes this true story as riveting as a thriller is remarkable. I highly recommend this book, thank you @Soubhiville and #authoramonth for encouraging me to pick it up. Great on #audio too!
pickThis book was interesting, a unique way of telling the story by using different perspectives from three characters. The #audio was fantastic, both because that format was especially effective via audio and also because Richard Armitage was one of the narrators. Love him! I will say it was slow at times and felt a little disjointed but the compelling ending and unexpected twist made it a pick for me. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
