Pickpick

My #DoubleBookSpin and a softer pick.
I enjoyed this mystery set in a remote English village during the WWII era but which doesn‘t center around the war per se but more with it serving as a backdrop. It has a bit of a Gothic feel with a mysterious wraith that our heroine, Ruth, a literary student who wants to write the next great novel, feels needs investigating. Ruth finds herself drawn to Malcolm, a wounded soldier, with a wife who has 🔻

robinb suffered a tragic accident that left her with brain damage (she is mute and seemingly unaware of what goes on around her).
I won‘t go into more specifics except to say there are several side stories other than the wraith-plot, and I didn‘t feel all of those were necessary or added much to the book. Otherwise, a decent read. 3.5/5⭐️

I finished my March #bookspin over the weekend, and I was a little disappointed in this thriller. The first half was pretty slow, and it finally got interesting the last quarter of the book. I wasn‘t really interested in any of the characters, and it jumped around way too much for me. The writing was a bit all over the place at times. Onto my #doublebookspin next!

My progress on Rebecca is slow, but steady. Jack Frost and Killers of the Flower Moon are my BookSpin selections this month. The weather is still cold, but the sun is at a reasonable schedule :)

Finished this last night! @TheAromaofBooks I really loved it! I dreaded the epistolary nature of the story, but it didn‘t bother me at all once I got into it!
POP… Bildungsroman 📚#52bookclub24… apostrophe in title 📚 this was also my #doublebookspin

Librarybelle Yay! I‘m enjoying my reread of this! 4w
BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle I can‘t believe I‘ve never read it! I loved it! 4w
BarbaraBB So good! I still need to read it! 4w
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Thanks for reading along!! Feel free to drop in for any of the rest of the conversations. I actually really like Evelina's voice, so the epistolary part isn't bothering me. She's so sweet and naive it feels like she should be super annoying, but instead I just want to keep her safe 😂 3w

What a haunting and beautifully written novel this is. I didn‘t expect to love this book as much as I did, but it truly is a work of art all in itself. I do have to warn that there is a trigger: suicide and depression. The author writes this sensitive subject with care, and it is a story I will never forget. 🪶
This was my #doublebookspin for February ❤️

Here is my February #bookspinbingo board! I'm really excited. Looks like there's an easy bingo with both bookspin titles in the same row.

#bookspin: Peg and Rose Solve a Murder
#doublebookspin: The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed Wisteria Society, but it's absolutely off the rocker ridiculous so you just have to roll with it 😂 1mo
