    I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/areas (if they way, not pressure obviously).

    I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy).

    Try to find your country and join that thread!

    Everyone else?

    What Blood Remembers certainly doesn’t read like a debut novel, it’s polished, the prose are phenomenal, and it didn’t have anything that felt like a hiccup. This story was so gripping and emotionally dense that I couldn’t pull myself away multiple times, left me shocked, mortified, and feeling profoundly sad for almost all the characters during different sections of the novel. I’m so glad this was my introduction to the genre and I find myself wishing I had more from Phillips to read right now which is why What Blood Remembers is getting a much deserved 4.75 (rounded to 5 here).

    It’s rare that a book takes me by surprise these days, but What Blood Remembers has the emotional depth and descriptive prose that I absolutely love when I’m reading. I was in a horrible slump prior to picking this up and I went in with no expectations so when I tell you that this is a certified slump buster, I’m saying it with my whole chest. Even if you’re not in a slump, this is a book you NEED to read if you love an emotional exploration into grief, trauma, and family. It’s tragically human, disturbing, and violent in the best ways possible. I usually hate when someone says “you could read this in a weekend” because 400 pages as a slow reader is not a quick read, but this is 100% a book that you could finish in two or three days because it’s impossible to put down.
