Without getting into the details of how one gets to the bookshop, which book would bring you there? What kind of impact has the book had on you? Was it a book from a certain time in your life or one that has stayed with you since you first found it? Do you think you would have said a different book if you had been asked at an earlier time in your life?
I’ve been pondering these questions throughout my read and haven’t been able to choose my book yet. I’m curious if others instantly knew Their Book or if it’s a bit of a struggle like I’m having.

This would do well as one of those lifetime movies that gen x moms like to binge watch. Otherwise, it was very middle of the road.

karigan commented on robyn00's review of As the Wicked Watch
This is a mediocre crime story, as well as a story of how racism impacts black communities and people in America. It might be a good resource for people new to the subject, but if you already know a decent amount, it’s very boring to be led through long explanations and descriptions of how racism is the cause of something, when you’ve already made that connection right from the start. The book did a good job of portraying the topic, it just was on a more beginner level, if you know what I mean.
The crime story itself is sort of meh. Including things like “police don’t investigate missing persons until it’s been 48 hours”, which we all know is such bullshit, and is a dangerous myth to keep putting out there.
The writing is a bit clunky. Saying things like “The city is comprised of neighborhoods and streets.”. … yeah, you don’t say. The choice or words were also a bit weird. Example: “I was ecstatic when I saw who called. ‘Hey, what’s up?’, I said.” That doesn’t sound ecstatic at all actually.
I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was fine, with the exception of pronouncing “homogeneous” as homo-genius.
