From the discussion on how social media sells books to how the publishing industry has already selected what will be a best seller long before books make it to market, Kuang gave details on the “dirty” side of publishing. As someone who spends lots of time engaged on book-related social media, I loved the critique I believe Kuang was trying to get across.
I love interweaving stories and Doerr more than delivers. He easily slides you through centuries and around the globe, leaving you wanting to see where each story goes. If you love books and stories and how they can lift us and connect us to the past this book is for you.
Underhill writes a beautiful message about not needing to put a label on who you are or who you love. I felt this book did an excellent job illustrating the turmoil that all teens go through in their search for identity.
An island, a murder, a group of seven, and dozens of hidden secrets. It’s a pretty good recipe for a thriller; however, The Fury just wasn’t my favorite. The premise, the craftiness of the narrator, and the (multiple twists) elevate The Fury within the thriller genre. Still, overall, I found it a bit predictable and not nearly as heart-racing as Michealides’ other books.
Moore’s thriller explores the dynamics of sisterhood, living with addiction, and the vulnerability of those who make their living on the streets. This book will haunt you until you finish it, not only to unravel all the plot secrets but also to see how these sisters turned out to be such outwardly different people.
Wow, this book had a lot of hype, and there were so many good things: Fantastically crafted characters with overlapping storylines, beautifully descriptive writing, and trauma that left you in tears.
Through her descriptions of the lengths Clara took to ensure she checked the correct boxes for her career (given up swearing, no romantic life, etc.) Miller really brought a unique perspective to the romance genre.
The writing is beautiful, thought provoking and filled with an engaging twist that makes this book even more special! This book took me by surprise, brought me to tears and ultimately left me wanting to hug my babies extra tight.
This was dark, this was gory, this was sexy and it was utterly wonderful to read. I loved the audio and immediately ordered the ebook to read it again.
