One of the members of my library leadership group loves this book, so I thought I‘d give it a try.

I signed up for the 30-day Scribd trial. We shall see if I love it more than Audible for audiobooks. Any thoughts?

Bookworm83 I‘m trying it out, too and it seems to have a lot of popular audiobooks. I‘ve never had Audible because I don‘t listen to enough audiobooks to justify the cost, but I can probably spring for $9 a month 🙃 7y
Lacythebookworm @Bookworm83 Have you tried out the ebooks? Are you reading them on your phone? Tablet? Sorry, so many questions! 🤔 7y
Maria514626 This book is fabulous! I hope you like it. Her second book on money is equally as awesome. 7y

Finished just in time for dinner. This book is quick (started it yesterday at lunch). The suspense is built from the very first sentence: “The baby is dead.” If you‘re looking for a psychological thriller with deep dives into the characters‘ psyches, I would certainly recommend it.

Thanks to @Miss__astrid for the Instant Pot Coq au Vin recipe! Delish! #feedareader

The Pisces: A Novel | Melissa Broder
post image
Pickpick

Two recent books that I‘ve read featuring mer-people 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️ that couldn‘t be more different. The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock is historical fiction with a merchant, courtesan, and of course, a mermaid. The writing is charming.

The Pisces on the other hand is contemporary and has a lot of sex between a woman and her merman friend. (Any questions you may have about having a sexual encounter with a merman are answered ☺️) A weird one, but a pick.

IamIamIam The cover on The Pisces!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 7y
Lacythebookworm @IamIamIam It‘s a pretty good indicator of the contents! 🤣 7y
