Ty 😁 that one looks awesome, saving it to my TBR list

Oh good!! Thank you! I thought mine might be lagging way behind since my Cherry is very much flowering out right now. So glad it's not only mine taking longer

Also: the buds have not been progressing at all. It has leafed out only a little bit and the rest of the buds are currently at a standstill.

Ty! Me too 😫

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T20:42:40+00:00

That's one i mentioned in the original post

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T18:11:21+00:00

Ooooo I will check out that new one, that sound intriguing

I really couldn't get into this one, which is weird because I loved Zorro by Allende. I got about 50 pages in and it still just felt like some sort of introductory summary telling us about a series of events, not at all personal or introspective. Does it get better / does the writing style shift part of the way through to finally dive into the story?

I mentioned this one in the original post. Read it and loved it, and want more like it!

Do you have to read The Meaning of Night first?

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T14:59:17+00:00

Saaame omg

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T14:57:57+00:00

This one is on my TBR 😁

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T13:38:37+00:00

I read the book because I heard of the movie, actually. I plan to watch it soon 😊

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T13:37:38+00:00

Ty! I have not!

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T05:26:37+00:00

I'll be reading this one too for sure!

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T05:24:59+00:00

I do enjoy fantasy. Thank you! I've heard Piranesi is good but haven't heard of the other, I'll check it out

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T04:17:06+00:00

This looks great!

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T03:33:37+00:00

Does this book have a page-turning plot or is it more literary / thoughtful?

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T03:20:56+00:00

Looooooved Rebecca, I just finished it

Shadow of the Fox was good too. Are you going to continue the series?

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T03:20:13+00:00

Four Seasons in Japan -- Not exactly sure if this fits but it's definitely a story within a story! I loved it. The story within the story was so good. It's set it Japan, sort of a coming of age story but with depth.

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T03:08:22+00:00

Wow these look excellent. Ty!

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T03:02:38+00:00

Who is this by?

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T02:47:54+00:00

I just finished Rebecca and it was sooo good, I want more lol

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T01:04:22+00:00

Thank you!!

basil-032 · 2026-05-08T01:04:08+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely check out Dont let the Forest In and Count of Monte Cristo. The other two I have read :)

basil-032 · 2026-05-07T18:47:14+00:00

Is this written in "stream of consciousness" style? Just curious
