Bailedbailed

My second book by Ozeki and she just isn‘t for me. I really wanted to finish this one for #authoramonth but was finding too many creative reasons to avoid picking it back up.

AmyG I thought it was me but I agree with you. I did read it but I have no desire to read another of her books. 1d
JenReadsAlot I ended up bailing on this one too 1d

Ruth, living on an island in Canada, discovers a diary (written by Nau who lives in Japan), letters from WWII, and a watch inside a Hello Kitty lunchbox on the beach. They presumably made the Pacific crossing from Japan‘s massive tsunami. Ruth, who is half Japanese is able to read the diary but not the letters. The diary, though, leads her to believe Nau and her father are intent on committing suicide. Ruth illogically thinks she can save them ⬇️

Texreader when in reality, given the time for the diary to cross the ocean, the deeds are probably already done. Everything about this situation though is unusual and time isn‘t what we think it is. This is a very dark book and there are so many trigger warnings, I made a list:
Sexual Assault
Suicide
Harm to animals
9-11 jumper
Kamikazi pilot who doesn‘t want to die
Prostitution
Tsunami
Radiation
Bullying is the one of the worst, and it makes the ⬇️

Texreader reader want to bail. However, it is resolved in the end with a most unique ending I may have ever read. I wish this book weren‘t so dark. It really felt like the author was trying to make it as horrific as possible. So I had to take quite a long time to think on it before writing a review. Because of the ending, I recommend it. But beware of the darkness before the light. #authoramonth 2d

Texreader @TheBookHippie I really wanted to but had invested so much time into it, and it‘s well-written. I‘m glad I stuck it out, but it was so darned dark. I felt a burden off my shoulders once I finished it. 2d
TheBookHippie @Texreader there‘s enough dark I fight not doing it in book form was my mantra. Writing is good. It‘s just too dark. 2d
slategreyskies Thank you for the trigger warning on this one. I think I‘ll drop the copy I‘ve been meaning to read off at the Little Free Library instead. 2d

"Dry" by Jane Harper is a great thriller set in a drought-stricken small town in Australia. Agent Aaron Falk investigates a supposed murder-suicide case and uncovers many secrets. The book has many twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. If you enjoy reading thrillers, I highly recommend checking it out! However, I suggest reading the physical book instead of the audiobook. Thank you, @Soubhiville for organizing #AuthorAMonth

I was reminded that I hadn‘t read the last book in the Aaron Faulk series after all the #AuthorAMonth posts from March. Though the hardback is pictured here, I mainly listened to the audiobook which is my favorite way to consumer Harper‘s books. That narrator is perfect! This one was a nice wrap up for Faulk‘s storyline and the mysteries of what happened to not just one small town resident, but two, were both convincing if drawn out.

I thought this was great. And it's possible that I might be inclined to eat (even more) vegetables. I actually didn't read the blurb before starting and was under the impression that this was some sort of memoir. Wrong.

#WhatsNewWednesday @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TIEDYEDUDE

Tuesday & Wednesday I received books I ordered from the Women‘s Fiction Prize long list that I wanted to read, books for #LittensLoveRomance BuddyRead @Staycurious and for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Those books made me so happy. Some of the packages were left just in front of my door😱♥️Which is very unusual. They use to leave packages in another place.

Thanks @Read4Life 🥰

Read4life Fun! Enjoy 💙💙 4d
