May 17, 2025 Good Morning Midnight (Julie’s Pick)

Discussion: Julie- Instagram recommendation. I was disappointed. Potential to be better. Overall, didn’t like it. Boring! I wanted more action. It did stay on my mind though. WNR/WNRA. 2/5. FC- Ivanov Jocelyn- I really liked the book. The writing style with descriptions were great! Just the right amount of words to make you really visualize. The end had my mind spinning. AR/WRA. 4/5. FC-Tal Caitlin- I really liked this book. Wanted more space scenes. Liked the descriptions. Recourses in Arctic were silly. WR/WRA. 4/5. FC- kid Iris Ali- It was an easy quick read. Well written descriptions. Didn’t really like the story. I only wanted to know what happened on Earth. WNR/WNRA. 2/5.

April 26, 2025 The Fox Wife (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion: Jocelyn- Overall this tale was a refreshing change. I love reading about superstitions in other cultures. The writing style was lacking a bit with lots of repeating. Still a fun read. WR/WRA. 3.5/5 FC- Tagtaa Julie- Liked that it read historical fiction with a sprinkle of fantasy. Loved the plot. Kept me interested the whole time. AR/WRA. FC- Ah-San and Kuro Ali- Wish I didn’t have to rush because it was a good tale. I have given up my prejudices of Asian books. Liked the descriptions, but a lot of run on that wasn’t needed. AR/WNRA. 3.5/5 FC- Tagtaa and Snow Caitlin- I guess I enjoyed the book. Took me a long time to get into it. So many moving parts, hard to focus. Hated the love stories. WRC/WNRA. 3/5 FC-Snow Balance $$$: $712.81 Caitlin gets a birthday pass Next Book- Good Morning Midnight by Lily Brooks Dalton 272pgs Next club @ Julie’s House 12:00.
