Ummmm what lol

This was so bizarre. I was torn because I found the writing so engaging for no reason. Like literally 95% of this book is absolutely nothing happening and I was so immersed. But then those endings�..

Starting with the novella, that ending was so abrupt and I’m sorry, I wanted a justification for the story being told in 2nd person. I suppose it added to the stress a bit but not enough.

The first short story was the worst part of the book for me. Still engaging writing but wayyyyy too psychedelic of a direction for my taste.

The ending of the 2nd short story gagged me a tiny bit. It was camp. Probably my favorite moment of the whole book. ]]> GiveawayRequest688029478 Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:53:04 -0700 <![CDATA[<a href="/user/show/91944590-ross-b">Ross B</a> entered a giveaway]]> /giveaway/show/407296-annie-bot Annie Bot by Sierra Greer ]]> ReadStatus9181329006 Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:51:12 -0700 <![CDATA[Ross wants to read 'This is Amiko, Do You Copy?']]> /review/show/7399602000 This is Amiko, Do You Copy? by Natsuko Imamura Ross wants to read This is Amiko, Do You Copy? by Natsuko Imamura

bookshelves: aggie
3.5/5

This was weird as hell. Definitely out there for a Christie. I didn’t think it was bad though, just kind of unexpected and a little nonsensical. She wanted to try something new and idk if it landed but it was a valiant effort and it was still a fun time. I just always hate how mean Poirot is to Hastings. Leave the poor man alone! ]]> ReadStatus9147824071 Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:26:03 -0800 <![CDATA[Ross wants to read 'Picnic at Hanging Rock']]> /review/show/7286452806 Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay Ross wants to read Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay
