Everyone has at least one favorite book from their childhood that they cherish forever, or that one book as a young reader that got you into reading into adulthood? What was yours? (I'll be adding them to my tbr, for real.) My favorite book as a young reader was A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray and her Gemma Doyle Series.

I really enjoyed this one. Watching the journeys of the characters and seeing how they develop has been one of my favourite parts. Seeing how certain characters have grown and learned how to do things differently has been inspiring. The pacing of this one worked a lot better for me than the last one. I felt drawn in to every POV and often didn’t mind the switching because I anxious to know what happened in all the storylines. This book made me laugh, made me feel frustrated and broke my heart at points. I’m going to be starting the next one almost right away because I am so ready to know what happens next.

My partner and I have started reading books together and are going to have check ins every 100 pages or so to discuss what we've read. We've just got to the first 100 pages and whilst there are things that interest us in the book that we've naturally picked up as topics, I wonder if there are certain general discussion topics you have to recommend. Some that can be worth keeping in mind as we read and you've found to be interesting topics in your book club endeavours:)

I’m not actually sure how to process my feelings about this book. This book was so well written and heartbreaking. It can be hard to remember that while this is historical fiction, a lot of it is based on real things that happened. I didn’t realize when I picked this up that it was related to ‘The Things We Cannot Say’, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was because I really enjoyed that one as well. While heartbreaking, there were a couple spots that had me smiling like ‘I had survived years in the ghetto and the violence and a bloody uprising that has taken almost everyone I loved - only to die from embarrassment as this kind woman discussed my body”. A really great and powerful novel. Kelly Rimmer has quickly become one of my favourite authors.

Some of this stuff hits so hard and I’m left here trying to understand how people could ever rationalize doing this. I know how they rationalized it, by not seeing them as people, but I just can’t understand it. Mostly just had to vent my feelings. I’m having a lot.
