April Reading Wrap Up

So yeah, I think of the series so far, my favorite is definitely A Clos and Common Orbit. , and then I love the other two, but just not quite as much. The clothes and common obit was so good.

But once I got into the style, I ended up really enjoying the collection. I tab some of my favorite stories. I think my absolute favorite kind of short story is more of a like in the- moment short story rather than a zoomed out short story, but I did still get a lot out of a lot of the stories in here.

We get like the accounts of the five people who were in the house at the time all those years ago and Agatha Christie kind of plays with like memory and unreliability of memory in a really fun way. So I just really enjoyed that one as well as really liking the mystery. So I would definitely recommend Five Little Pigs.

the other one I've read by her is Jamaica in which I didn't love either that much.

I really love the listers of things. I thought it was so emotional, so engaging, so many great characters and it's such a great coming of age story but also such a great like frame to a coming of age story and all the other elements in it worked so well.

The ending was so good. , and I thought the themes were just so masterfully handled. , and I just loved it a lot.

I think if you're going to read some Daffhne Demorier, then Rebecca or My Cousin Rachel are the way to go. , the other one I've read by her is Jamaica in which I didn't love either that much. , but Rebecca and my cousin Rachel are so good.

I think if you're going to read some Daffhne Demorier, then Rebecca or My Cousin Rachel are the way to go. , the other one I've read by her is Jamaica in which I didn't love either that much. , but Rebecca and my cousin Rachel are so good.

I listened to it on audiobook, which I really, really loved and I just had such a great time with it.

So, mixed feelings on this one. , as I said, one of those books that I found really interesting, but I don't know that I liked it.

I will say that overall I don't think this is my favorite kind of gothic historical fiction. The past lives element like didn't necessarily work as well for me as I think it might work for some other people. And because I suppose for a want of a better word possessed by a person from the past. It's kind of makes it harder to know her as a character, I suppose.

I really enjoyed the Hollow. I thought the characterization was just like topnotch. I mean it always is with Agatha Christie but it was so good in the hollow.

I just loved reading this as I always do with Natasha Pulley's books. I love her writing. , I find her style so engaging.

So yeah, I think of the series so far, my favorite is definitely A Clos and Common Orbit. , and then I love the other two, but just not quite as much.

Really enjoyed it. Thought it was really interesting, but as I said, not a new favorite Daffhne Demorier.

This book has quite a few different short stories in, all of which I really enjoyed. one of which I had read before, so I didn't reread it. but I did read all the rest, and it's nice to have finally got round to this collection. and I just I just had such a good time with this book.

But I do have to say that I'm absolutely loving my reread so far. Wives and Daughters is one of my favorite books of all time. I just love it.
