Starting this with not a small degree of trepidation.
Another with some rave reviews, it’s BookClub read for the month, one member already finished and hated it…
Will I agree with her or join the ravers?
Let’s see…

Couldn’t get into this one at all.
Into the DNF pile.

Another, that I don’t want to finish, as then I would not have the characters speaking to me, does anyone do this, not finish books that are too good?

This is a wonderful book, I don’t want to finish it.

Shelved in my couldn’t finish pile.

Shelved in my couldn’t finish pile.

This one just isn’t for me, added to the cannot finish group.

I have not been able to get into audiobooks, I lose the thread in between listens, that I don’t do with regular books… until now, narrated by the author & interspersed with her songs, I’m loving it!
Dog getting a bit weary of multiple walks so I can keep listening, but she‘ll cope 😀

I was so excited to find this on the library shelf, had been looking forward to it, was going to buy it for book club even… I cannot get into it or continue with it, really thought I would dive into it never to return until the last page but nope 👎🏻

This is terrific so far, not so much where the Van Appel girls are, but the telling of the story of the lives of those sisters & her own by the young Tikka.
She is a wonderful character, for me in the same vein as Scout.
This book is so much more than a mystery or thriller, don’t let those descriptions put you off.

Wonderful journey with these characters so far...

I’m thoroughly enjoying this, only complaint is the handwritten letters are sometimes hard to decipher & some of the typed letters are reproduced in a very small image, I need super magnifiers on my reading glasses 😞

This is terrific, I’m loving it, but with a hint of trepidation how it will end for this brave young person, the odds are stacked against, still I am loathe to put it down....

Couldn’t stick with this one, white suprematism too much for me.

Really enjoying this one.

I just cannot keep going, reading this, not often I admit defeat, but am waving the white flag on this one.

I’m not a fan, but I have to keep going, I hope I’ll read my way into it.
Just a bit jarring.
