Pickpick

This is one of the most eloquent and beautifully written book I‘ve read this year. I love the atmosphere, the imagery, and our FMC, Alizeh. She is so strong and resilient, but kind and compassionate also. My only complaint had to do with the pacing- this is a sloooow burn. The ending was definitely unexpected, but I can‘t wait to see what happens next with these characters! 4.25/5 #whimsicalreadsbookclub

brittanyreads Have you read her Shatter Me series? I agree, her writing is stunning...it makes me want to read her other work. 6mo
BooksNBowls @BrittanyReads not the whole series but the first 2 I read probably like over a decade ago. You can definitely tell she‘s grown as a writer, very different, but it‘s still worth reading IMO! Idk how the rest of the series went, but I‘ve been thinking about reading them! 6mo
brittanyreads Good to know! ☺️ 6mo

Listening to this on audiobook today so I can adult and do chores. Pretty good so far! #whimsicalreadsbookclub

BooksNBowls Okay, I‘m over halfway through so far and these are my thoughts. I got lots of theories because something and someone isn‘t who they seem- Jaren and Naari!! (Maybe together in on it??) Secondly, the setting of this book being held in one place is throwing me off a little with the pacing of the story, but I really like it so far! Great characters 😁 7mo

A pretty good month for challenges & buddy reads. I finished everything except my July #DoubleSpin book and 1 of my 3 #Roll100 books.

KateReadsYA Very nice. Are you giving a thumbs up or down on this one?! I'll be starting it next week 🤗 9mo
Librarybelle I‘m still deciding which one to read for this prompt! 9mo
Cinfhen I did read Kindred @vivastory @Deblovestoread and I DID like it 🩷 9mo
vivastory @Cinfhen I have read a few of her other books but none of are ones that I think you would like. The only one that I think you *might* like is 9mo
Cinfhen Thanks for the suggestion @vivastory 🖤 9mo
Read4life @KateReadsYA It‘s not for me. But judging by the other comments on here, maybe I should try Kindred. 9mo

My weekend outlook. I‘m going to stay up to date on buddy reads, start an ARC & read a #14Books14Weeks2023 book. I‘m waiting on my daughter to choose our next buddy read.
