I started reading this with my daughter but she found it boring. I wanted to keep reading it though. tbf it was a bit boring. I did love the description of the mountains though. And the kindness of the characters.

love the dialogue and the back and forth but unsure about the world building it feels kinda silly?

A queer feminist retelling of Hamlet set in Victorian London! Sign me up. This set up was so great that I had high expectations and unfortunately this book didn't quite meet them. This is likely to be an "it's not you it's me" review, because I am not really sure what didn't work for me. The setting was very gothic and atmospheric, perfect for women lying around in flowy dresses having malaise. I really liked the relationship between Odette and Cecelia. I think the plot was just a bit too slow and repetitive, it felt like nothing was happening and then I'd realise that I'd missed some big thing happening. But I still think this is worth trying if it sounds like your thing, I hope it was just me! It's 3-3.5 stars overall. Thank you netgalley for the ARC.

Hello hello! So I was enjoying my book a lot, but it's feeling very slow paced, and I just fancy something quick and that hooks you (a little palate cleanser of you will 😅)... so I was thinking maybe a thriller??
Only, I haven't really read any thriller thrillers, so I don't know where to start... I really enjoyed the fast pace and suspense of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, and The Martian by Andy Weir, which I guess you could kind of say where thriller-esque, or at least fast paced, suspenseful, and gave you a thrill!
I'm not into gruesome murder, true crime, or horror... I do enjoy a courtroom/legal theme, mystery, heist (love a heist!), family drama, fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction... Any recommendations?
Thanks! Happy reading 📚

What is your reading toxic trait?
Mine: If I paid for the book, I'm finishing it. Even if I'm hate-reading by chapter five. 💀 & I judge a book by its cover 👀

Got a few recommendations to add some books here recently, so I wanted to put out a question - when y'all look at the list of books in this quest, is there anything that you feel is just criminally missing??
EDIT: The quest is a bit large and unruly at the moment, for now I'll be adding suggestions to a list and incorporating down the line! Thanks y'all!!

What an opening.
I picked this up from the library this afternoon. Coming into it straight off the back of The New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates (where the scale of the problem of these secret recordings was mentioned). Probs not the best plan for my baseline rage, but we’re in it now.
