    The last word: loved this. Also loved no exit. I love how his books feel so fast and constantly have these “ok so this is the end, right? How is he gonna write six more hours?!” And then I rethink it every hour after that. And it just keeps going with the intensity! His writing style definitely works for me!

    Dark Mattet messed with my brain after I read it. We are watching the show now. My husband hates reading but he is loving the show.

  • @eliotopian
    @eliotopian 3 місяці тому +3

    Dark matter: loving the show, they did change some things that have me and hubby and bff like “…why’d they change that? Where’s this going?!” lol. Not bad just weird changes so far.
    It definitely feels like a fast paced action thriller sci-fi movie while yer reading it!
    I always link dark matter with sa cosby books for that fast paced action movie in yer head vibe

    Wrong place wrong time: ooooh I’m glad you liked it! I was hooked from chapter two! Chapter one the accent on the audiobook was putting me off at first. But like two seconds into chapter two and I was like “this is gonna be at least 4 stars!”

    Reappearance of Rachel Price and Annie Bot are the two books I read, it was fun….
    For the next read, I asked a friend of mine to choose one from the two books I chose based on the cover and summary and he chose The Way I Used To Be (the other option was If He Had Been With Me, will read that later). It’s going well so far, can’t wait to know which book is this month’s book club pick

    Funny Story and Just for the Summer were two of the books i read in May. Funny Story didnt get my attention fully until halfway through and Just for the Summer hooked me from the beginning.

    What moves the dead: liked that a lot. And loooove t king fisher in general! If you haven’t read Silvia Moreno Garcias book “Mexican gothic” you can lie and pretend you have now. They’re basically identical books! lol 😂

    Call me by your name: at the end I was so confused if I thought it was 2 stars or 5 stars! Looking back I can totally relate to their obsessive all consuming lust/love. But being an old ancient man now I’m also annoyed at some of the toxic behaviors they had that we all basically have at those stages of life/love. My hubby has read book two and says it’s even better!

    Wishing game: I felt like they took out too much of the game adventure fun of things in the island and added in the unnecessary feeling romance. 🤷🏻‍♂️ like adding in more game adventure would have added a lot to the book. And taking out the romance wouldn’t have changed much at all. Looking forward to reading more from this author tho!!!
