If I had to describe this book using only emojis, it would go something like this: 😟😒😫🙄😴😾 In short, I was pretty much bored to tears. The characters in the beginning were so confusing, as I really wasn't able to figure out what each person was all about. There was still potential though, until Lolly moved to the country. And then it was like watching paint dry. And I'm still not entirely sure what exactly was going on with that little town.

rubyslippersreads Lovely photo, though. 😍 7y
Reviewsbylola The allegorical nature of the book reminded me strongly of an older classic. Maybe Hawthorne? 7y

Today's #BookMail came when the hubby was out thank god! I can't wait to read these, especially A Closed and Common Orbit & The Sweetness at The Bottom of The Pie. Both have gotten great reviews.The Essex Serpent is so beautiful, it's like Chinese paper, it's exquisite! I really have to reorganize my library, I now have five Jenga TBR piles on my floor, it's getting ridiculous. And I still have more coming😳#gluttonforpunishment #hellobookvember

Texreader Oh my goodness that is a mighty book haul!! How awesome is that? I have to hide my craft shopping! My hubby knows my book buying can get out of control. But same is true of him too so we're very forgiving of book hauls! 7y
Lizpixie @Texreader whenever he brings up my books I just politely point to the motorbike, two dirt bikes, two quad bikes and the buggy I said nothing about him buying. He usually shuts up at that point😉 7y
LeahBergen You always have the most spectacular book mail!! 😮 7y

Lizpixie @LeahBergen why thank you! I do my best, though the bet I made with my hubby that I wouldn't fill my library shelves by 2017 may be lost if I can't stay away from booksellers!📚📚📚📚📚 7y
SharonGoforth 👏👏👏👏Love it!! #nosuchthingastoomanybooks 7y
BekahB Nice stack! I've wanted to read the Flavia de Luce series for a while. 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Woah! Envious that you have The Essex Serpent - I want that too! (Not like I have to add to my exploding TBR pile) 7y
Lizpixie @SharonGoforth @BekahB @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com thank you! I think these and the ones on their way still will be my final purchases this year. My husband has that "one more parcel and my head will explode" look in his eye? 7y
Dragon Nice Christie's 👍 7y

I know I keep telling myself that I'm tired of this series because Hannah is ridiculous, but I can't seem to stop. #gluttonforpunishment #andcookierecipes #hannahswensen #jofluke
