pickThe waters of the bayou are rising. People from town are disappearing. & Eugene finds himself entranced by the Bonnie & Clyde pair that‘s swept into town.
Wow can Powell set a scene! I could feel the heaviness of a Louisiana summer against my skin. & the insidious creeping horror as we don‘t know really know anything that‘s going on. Really reminds me of Alma Katsu‘s historical horror. & I‘m definitely going to look up more by Powell. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickMore and more it‘s the feeling that a book gives me which is what I remember most. If it‘s a particularly powerful or emotional reading experience, I cherish it long after I forget the characters‘ names or other details. This is a book that will leave a lasting mark. Chang‘s imaginative, haunting writing really impressed me. I wanted to underline every sentence. ⬇️
It‘s in the mail! @Reggie it should be there by Monday! 💙

I‘ve settled on this for #LMPBC #GroupQ. I‘m in the midst of reading it, and loving it. I hope to be finished in the next few days so I can send it off.

pickIn the past, Peter is working for a dictionary & finding his place in the world. In the present, Mallory is dealing with fake words in that same dictionary & bomb threats to her place of work.
This was so clever! So much word play, & definitions of words is never even heard of. I liked Mallory‘s story & her relationship with Pip more & would have liked more of it. & the examination of language & changing meanings was great! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
