I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

Pulse quickening! Mo Hayder truly out did herself with this one!

I loved the way each chapter was from a different perspective.

It’s a great book about mental health struggles and overcoming them

This is the kind of book I know will have a happy ending and I like to read these in between heavier content books.

Spy camp by Stuart Gibbs is a very good book about theirs kid named Ben Ridley is on spy school but the bad organization called SPIDER is trying to get him to work for them but he rejected it so now they are trying to find him to kill them. But they have to get to a place 500 miles away where SPIDER is. Van they make it alive and still takedown the enemy?

This a great book for fantasy lovers and the movies though they do not match completly is still really good. I like this book because of the amount of hype making you not want to stop reading it. I really reccomend this book.

The coziest kind of cozy fantasy. Merhorses, cats with wings, a librarian with a talking plant for a best friend who runs a jam shop out of her woodland cottage. Also cloud bears. Pick this one up if you want a book that just feels like a warm hug.

Really beautiful book with great recipes that I have tried--some successfully, some not.

We enjoyed this trip to India with Jack and Annie. It was interesting to learn about endangered species like tigers and rhinoceroses.
