Going to my first IRL bookclub at my library. No idea what to expect. Topic book club and the topic this month was Mountain. Also mailed my #spookysummerswap yesterday @Bookwormjillk @paperwitchs Also, I‘m hoping we can show what the Majority of Americans want at the polls. Also I hope everyone is able to feel safe and loved in whatever body and space they are in.
pickAnother thriller that I really enjoyed. A boarding school with an elite group of students with cuestionable morale. Family drama with a disappearance of a family member, a suicide, betrayals and a murder. Is everything connected? Who is lying? What would you do just to keep your image and power? Is everything related with this elite group? It was a fast read. I couldn‘t put it down. A particular situation was so unrealistic to me. 3.8/4⭐️
OK, so I can't find two of my July #roll100 hits---a genre-blending Verso Books London Jenny Hval volume, and a guide through the economic depression of the 1990s by an analyst from India---so, here's some other progressive economics I either need to get to finish (one of them just ordered from 7Stories Press); and my third hit, #75, a middle-grade by a Latina author. And some library loans.

Through good times (reading Jane Eyre together) & bad (enduring the popular girls‘ bullying), they become best friends. As frustrating as Adele is at the beginning of the book, I think she is described perfectly—what I think her ⬇️

so-so3 stars, This was creepy AF. It was okay, I liked most of the characters but I don't think we got enough of Sumera or Simon. Only the two very main characters were properly developed. I also thought the final fight scene was way too drawn out.
