The Cloisters | Katy Hays

Pickpick

I always love me some dark academia, and although this is no ‘Secret History‘ (what is?) I still really enjoyed this NYC story. The Met Cloisters, a museum specializing in Medieval artifacts, is the perfect eerie setting, and the study at the center of this novel is of divination and historical tarot cards. Secrets are in abundance, a fish is most definitely out of water, and motives are endlessly questionable. Twisty, atmospheric and lots of fun.

Cinfhen What an awesome review you wrote!!! You made me want to read a book I wasn‘t at all interested in!!!! #SuperReviewer ❤️🙌🏻 13mo
squirrelbrain I‘ve wondered about this one but thought it wasn‘t my ‘thing‘…you‘ve made me change my mind. Stacked. 13mo
KarenUK @squirrelbrain @cinfhen It‘s kind of a mash up of gothic dark academia and a mystery/thriller. I thought it was a lot of fun 😊 13mo
Cortg Sounds like a great read! 13mo
Bluebird Great review! Sounds like something I‘d like. Stacked! 13mo

I‘m so thankful to #ReadingAfrica22 &
#Booked2022 for giving me the extra push to finally pick up this book. In the vein of what Khaled Hosseini did for Afghan women, Abi Dare does the same for Nigerian girls in this heartbreaking yet hopeful novel. Adunni the 14yr old MC has experienced more trauma and sorrow in her young life, yet her optimism and joyful spirit is infectious. I‘m so glad I added audio narration to my Kindle purchase, 👇🏽

Cinfhen because hearing the Nigerian dialect & authentic pronunciation of the Igbo & Yoruba added so much richness to the story. So grateful for my #LoudBuddyRead friends for sharing their thoughts. 2y
RaeLovesToRead I'm only a fifth of the way in but I also was taken back to A Thousand Splendid Suns reading this far. Both books making me so so angry and conjuring the stifling and horrific realities of forced marriage. Which prompt are you using it for in #pop22? 2y

Librarybelle I really need to read this one! 2y
Cinfhen It‘s really good @Librarybelle I think you‘d like it 2y
Deblovestoread I loved Adunni! The author used a deft hand in showing the horrors of being a poor female in Nigeria while keeping her dream of having and using her voice alive. It would be hard to stay hopeful with such daily abuse. 2y
Cinfhen Adunni was the right blend of heart, humor & spunk. A great character @Kdgordon88 Im eager to continue #ReadingAfrica to discover experiences for others in different African countries 2y

I totally geek out over celebrity reading lists. Also, I see she organizes by color. Not my method, but I admit it looks pretty 😊

Spending some time doing what I love before getting ready for work. ☺️ I got my free Starbucks drink this morning and I‘m tearing through this book for #LMPBC. It‘s a Reese‘s book club pick and I couldn‘t put it down last night. #ibelieveinathingcalledlove (although apparently Amber doesn‘t. 😂😂 If you‘ve read the book, you get what I‘m saying.) #getmovin

Cinfhen I‘m surprised you‘re loving this one! Glad to hear it‘s good...another library request 😉 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘m actually surprised too. Thrillers have not been my thing lately. It‘s so compulsively readable though. @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen Reese can usually pick them! It‘ll work for #pop18 #celebritybookclub 6y
