The House on the Hill was in a tizzy.

Oomph…I can see why this book has a low rating on Litsy! I was so tempted to increase the listening speed just to get through the book at times. It has a good premise - friends quarantining together, and said friends have lots of issues. Not very likable characters, and that did not bother me. But, the last part of the book was like reading something completely different and just randomly added.

Using this for #BBRC #Adult #RainOnMyParade

BarbaraBB I had been looking forward to it but was so disappointed! 3w
Librarybelle @BarbaraBB Yes! Good idea but so disappointing! 3w
RaeLovesToRead I agree. Started well then I dunno, maybe Schteyngart was drunk or got the cat to finish it or something 3w

LibrarianRyan I hate when that happens. I went through 3 audio books in one trip because I just could not do it anymore. 14h
Librarybelle @LibrarianRyan It‘s definitely not fun! 7h

a story about a kid who goes away to a juvenile detention center for a crime he didn‘t do. On top of that he is released at a time that coronavirus is spreading throughout the world. This book touched my soul in such a way that is so hard to describe. I could feel the pain and the suffering of the characters as I still remember when the virus was spreading and we didn‘t understand what was going on.

TheIntrovertedDodoBird I love the cover. Great review. Stacked! 1mo

I forgot to post here after #covid oops. But I was returned thanks to this quote about MA politics being largely non-partisan. Luckily they explain why they say something that sounds so ludicrous later on. Remember in MA that Democrats will eat each other, they don't need Republicans for that. #mapoli

Edit: I was not removed. Nobody cares that much about MA politics? 😆

1. Make appointments for a pedicure and eyebrows. 😂
2. I wanted to be a lawyer so I could make a lot of money. It didn‘t happen.
3. Yes - our annual beach trip down the shore. 🌊⛱️
4. I haven‘t read a Jodi Picoult book in a while.

I enjoyed some traditional Irish fairy tales for this month's pick. #kidlit

#MiddlegradeMarch
My favorite book of the week is The Lost Year. I wonder if I can find anything to top it by the end of the month.

I‘m giving this book 5 stars because it is the first book in a long time that made me stop halfway and react to what I read. At first, I wasn‘t sure about reading a book about Covid. We lived through it and that wasn‘t fun and I didn‘t want to relive it in fiction where I go to escape, but this wasn‘t what I expected at all. Really unique story with a really interesting twist. I am surprised at how much I liked this book.
