#SpringSkies Day 24 #Neurodivergent

I haven‘t read this one but it was one of the novels classified as neurodivergent mentioned in GR. another book from my physical tbr😳

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

Reading this one now. I will continue reading the books nominated in the long list regardless if they don‘t appear in the short list tomorrow. I have the books, they are in my tbr except The Blue Beautiful World because I would need to read the first 2 books first and Soldier Sailor which I don‘t own yet 🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

7th book read from Women‘s Prize for fiction Long List
Unpopular opinion but this time, I really liked this novel. In a peculiar, unique sarcastic tone, the author narrate different topics: (social, political, cultural, etc) through this man who visited his country after 26 years of exile.I think it was so creative. Character has a fragmented thinking process, thinking about what he is thinking/observing/doing. ⬇️

6th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction-long list
😬Sorry this one didn‘t work for me. I‘m not a fan of novels about sport even though the story has other topics. I wasn‘t interested in the story and I couldn‘t believe so decision made. 2.5/3⭐️

5th book read from Women‘s Prize fiction long list. Mixed feelings, again🤷🏽‍♀️Maybe my expectations have been too high because they are books nominated for a prize. A HF based on true events and also based on previous
short stories. Maybe that it‘s why I felt disconnected in some parts.
The narrator in this story is working in a new project at her job, a nursing home in Korea. She will help the residents to write their own obituary⬇️

(The Liar) First book in a trilogy. It‘s more like a suspense story. This man, Alex, sees an unknown man next to him..but is that man dead? Then he sees a stone in his own hand.., with blood...did he kill that man?...but he is not sure about anything because he wake up in a hospital and he doesn‘t remember anything. Fragments of memories come and go. And then, the story goes to discover what really happened, who is Alex⬇️

4th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction long list. Mixed feelings with this one. It was beautifully written but I didn‘t find a well integration in the story, specially the first parts. In some parts I just lost interest because I felt author was jumping from one topic to another🤷🏽‍♀️Let‘s see if it included in the short list. It didn‘t work for me as I expected 3⭐️

I read this book as part of #GabyReadsBookTroop (YouTuber) and I concur with their analysis that this is more like a HF because it is based/inspired in a true case but novel is from the victims POV😢It was interesting but sometimes I don‘t know what the author wanted to emphasize, the victims?, the main character? the legal process? In my opinion I don‘t see that integration so well but this is an unpopular opinion.⬇️

Interesting HF inspired by true event where a woman was sentenced to be executed in the maiden, a guillotine used at that time. The story fictionalized the life, affair and sentence this woman. Interesting but also a sad story. Trigger point, sexual and physical abuse. However I thought, why this novel was in the Women‘s Prize fiction long list? I‘m not an expert but author describes so well each character giving them an unique/different voice⬇️

🌹 I will admire every strong female character that appear in books I love. Not necessarily a heroine but characters I admire or love. I just admire the live Katniss felt for her sister.

But if I have to mention heroes in fiction,...well, those in marvel and DC are quite fun to follow....in movies🤣

🎥 Elegy with Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz-movie was better
🎥The Secret In Their Eyes/El Secreto De Sus Ojos by Eduardo Sacheri both movie and book were good but the movie (Argentina version) has a different twist but it was a good adaptation.
🎥The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version) was a different but good movie adaptation.

Thank you @Eggs 🥰♥️

#SpringSkies Day 5 #InvolveArt
I read this novel long time ago (free translation: Matisse‘ Girlfriend ? Maybe?🤷🏽‍♀️). It has many unrealistic/absurd situations around the art world with funny situations using sarcastic/satire tone. But it was read long time ago. I should read it again and see what would be my reaction. It has low rating😳but I remembered I enjoyed it. Author is from Valencia.

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I read 9 books during March which was amazing for me in comparison to last month. I‘m finding my peace and equilibrium in my reading📚🙌

I read #BookSpin #DoubleSpin and one bingo line @TheAromaOfBooks
I also completed, on time😅 #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Best book read this month: Brotherless Night
I enjoyed very much: Kill for Me Kill for You and Edinburgh Dusk

Last book completed during the month of March. I couldn‘t finish another book. Second book read from the Women‘s Prize Fiction long list.
A family saga during Sri Lanka war. So hard and sad. I searched for some information about this time and it was terrible, so many people died, so long this war lasted😢 💔
Beautifully written but hard to read. 4.5/5⭐️

As most of the thrillers I have read but I continue loving this genre😂it has some unrealistic parts. One event was pretty predictable but that last twist was a surprise to me. I enjoyed this story. A fast pace reading. First time I read a book by this author but I have a couple of books by him but started with this new release🤷🏽‍♀️☺️ 3.8⭐️

This is a collection of short stories about “despair and desire in the modern day Ireland” (book blurb). As always in my experience, some short stories are better than others. But I can say that what I like in all of them was author‘s writing style to describe the places, so atmospheric. Love the characters voices and love this cover. This the first time I read a book by this author, definitely it would not be the last one 3,5⭐️

I think that this story focused more in the introduction of each characters, their personalities, background, and to be familiar with Holmes‘ methodology than the mystery per se. Maybe that‘s why the conclusion of the mystery was like something rehearsed not spontaneous, like telling us, “this is the way Holmes will resolve his cases”🤷🏽‍♀️I still enjoyed it. 3.5/3.75 ⭐️

Family drama 100% with funny parts. Too long but I was interested to know about characters chaotic lives. Scarlet and Feather are two friends that decided to have a business in something similar to a catering. But many things happen to own the place and they also need to face their respective families and couples. A predictable ending. 3⭐️I love these editions and the end papers are also beautiful
