#roll100 #hauntedshelf #screamteam I really enjoyed this weird folk horror-esque story… living basically exactly where it is set definitely added to it!

OMG, this was so unbelievable, so overwrought. And the author couldn‘t stop writing about nipples. 🙄At least I‘ve knocked off one #readyoirkobo for September. But don‘t waste your time on this one. @CBee

CBee Omg, well this sounds….. terrible 😅 4w
Lcsmcat @CBee Yeah, especially if you like Dickinson, Melville, Hawthorn, or Whitman, stay away from this one. 4w
CBee @Lcsmcat I very much like Dickinson and Whitman 💚 4w

ShelleyBooksie Gorgeous. One of my fav parts of my early morning dog walks is listening to the squirrels throw acorns on the ground. 2mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Make dumb choices, win stupid prizes. A hauntingly written battle of conscience.

#roll100 felt like I missed something with this one 🤷🏻‍♀️ I enjoyed the experimental moon section more than of the others… just didn‘t really know what was going on for most of it!

PuddleJumper Boo! Hope your next book is better 2mo

Been a while since I‘ve relaxed with a book at soccer practice. It‘s warm but pretty nice out! 📖⚽️

I know Boyne is well liked, but apparently he‘s as bad as JKR and I thought people might want to know.

TheBookHippie I knew this. Also he‘s hugely antisemitic… covered in writing so you feel bad for the non Jewish person in his writing… hugely problematic. It is disappointing as I loved some of his books… there have been articles before about him. Not this huge however. 😵‍💫 3mo
lil1inblue Ugh. Gross. The statement from Polari gave me so much ick. 3mo
TrishB I‘ve been following this on Twitter….its been known for a while, sadly. 3mo
BarbaraBB Wow this is new to me. 3mo
Hooked_on_books @TheBookHippie @TrishB My guess is this story hasn‘t been as big as JKR because he lacks her level of fame. But it makes me glad I‘ve never read any of his books. I for sure won‘t now. 3mo
TheBookHippie @Hooked_on_books I loved The Hearts invisible Furies by him … then I read quotes from him on how there were good Nazis 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. 3mo
marleed Oh dang. I‘ve loved his books but have now dropped him from my auto read authors. 3mo
AmyG NOOOOOOOO. Goddammit. @TheBookHippie WTF? (edited) 3mo
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie What the what now? 😵 3mo
TheBookHippie @AmyG yup even got into a war of words with THE Auschwitz Memorial and others …. @lil1inblue (edited) 3mo
Deblovestoread So incredibly disappointing! I don‘t know why I expect better from authors but I do. (edited) 3mo
Hooked_on_books @TheBookHippie Sure, all those good Nazis! What were the rest of us thinking? 😵‍💫 3mo
peaKnit @AmyG I think you were reading my mind with your comment. WTF indeed! 💩 3mo
CarolynM Seems a bizarre decision by Polari. I didn‘t know Boyne was problematic but I didn‘t much like the only one of his books I‘ve read so I wasn‘t planning on reading any more anyway. 3mo
Amiable DAMN. I love(d) Boyne‘s books. I‘d heard none of this. It feels like a kick in the stomach. 3mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie sounds like an author to avoid. 3mo
AmyG @Amiable Same. 😢 3mo
janeycanuck I heard rumblings about this a few years after The Heart‘s Invisible Furies came out but nothing definitive. How disappointing that he‘s still on this train. 3mo

An odd format, described as a novel but containing much biography and thoughts on the life of a writer. Thoroughly enjoyable mostly but the literary critical segments sometimes get a little convoluted. Definite pick though.
