My book blog only includes books I'd recommend. I wouldn't want to discourage someone from reading a book with a bad review. Whether you (or I!) enjoy a book is largely dependent on preference and mood. Whatever mood you're in today, find a good book to read. Enjoy!
This is what I call “slow and savory.” It’s a book you want to take your time reading. I found myself going back to re-read passages. The writing was beautiful. The tale is whimsical, with multiple love stories unveiled through fate and time.
Imagine a magical place full of books that you could reach through a painted door. Now throw in secret societies, myths and stories come to life. I had a lot of fun reading this book. I highly recommend it.
A global pandemic, quarantine, a race for a cure… sound familiar? It was eerie reading this book during a pandemic. And this novel is the definition of a page-turner. I agree with other reviewers comparing Lawrence Wright to Michael Crichton. There was obviously a huge amount of research completed by Wright about the history of diseases, and it was particularly interesting to read considering what is going on right now. Pick up this book if you want to read a medical thriller!
If you’re in the mood for a feel-good read this is your book. The writing was great, and the tone was funny. It dabbled in a few serious issues but not in a scary way. I would like to be friends with all these women. I want to hop on the back of a horse, travel the trails, and spread the joy of reading to those who don’t have access to books.
