UNPOPULAR OPINION: I can‘t tell if Parker is a genius for making this all so complicated, or just horrible at telling a story in a coherent way. If your book needs a 22 page glossary that does little to clarify anything, and your reader can go from knowing what‘s going on to completely confused with the turn of a page, you‘ve done something VERY wrong.

GingerAntics Seeing that it is incredibly unclear how it ended and why, I don‘t feel compelled, in any way, to read the next book. Seriously, WHAT DID I JUST READ?! #SarahAParker #WhenTheMoonHatched #audiobook 19h

GingerAntics I wanted to like this. I really did. … I just have no clue what I just read… it was so disjoined that all over the place. 19h

Texreader 22 page glossary!!?? 15h

Butterfinger Totally agree. Stars? Dragons turn into stars? I think when the MFC realized she had amnesia, I stopped scowling. The mantra I repeated was, "Every epic's beginning is complicated." 14h

GingerAntics @Texreader yup! And its not that helpful. Its mostly just random stuff. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1h

GingerAntics @Butterfinger but she chose to have amnesia? So much just left hanging out there with no real explanation. 1h

How to Sell a Haunted House | Grady Hendrix

pick

This was hard to read in the beginning. But once the horror started it had my heart racing. It was so full of twists and heart it had me wishing for more. It had me frightened the whole time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There wasn‘t anything especially surprising for me in this story of public school girl getting the opportunity to attend an elite private school with a secret society, but it was a fun listen for today.

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction | Lisa Kroger, Melanie R. Anderson

pick

This is an interesting book of short descriptions of women authors of early gothic stories to present day. I don‘t consider myself much of a horror or speculative fiction reader, but I enjoy reading a wide variety. There were several authors I have read and plenty more that piqued my interest. I enjoyed the listen, but a print copy would be ideal for better noting books to add to a TBR.

jewright This one sounds interesting. (edited) 19h

Daisey @jewright It definitely was. I especially enjoyed the earlier history and some of the current authors. 18h

RavenclawOwlCat I tried to like it and I couldn‘t! Granted, that was 8 years ago and maybe I‘d feel different now but classics are tougher to enjoy with the language difference. 3d

When the Moon Hatched | Sarah A Parker

With its mixed reviews, I‘m starting this with a bit of trepidation.

I loved this book. I loved the world. I loved the characters. I loved friends to lovers with the magical twist. I love how much Halla asks questions when she‘s nervous or uncomfortable. I love her Sarkis loves her from the beginning. This was such a joy to listen to. The narration was perfect. This will definitely be a go to feel good book. I already want to listen to it again.
