whatcha readin' 2019? {book 5::goal 25}

April 1, 2019 Arlene Giddings

a while ago, i read jess kidd’s
first book
”himself”
and i broke my own rule for the
first and only time ever
and wrote about a book i was reading
BEFORE
i had even finished it….
raved about it actually.

this is her second book
and it totally did not disappoint…
mysterious and gothic,
saints and stories,
characters that just draw you in so hard
you wish they were real
so that you could go visit them…

i 110% recommend this book.
i was sad to see it end.

oh! and she has a new book coming out this month!!!

5 out of 5 ♥♥♥♥'s

whatcha readin'?

September 18, 2017 Arlene Giddings

so...this is not how i usually do my
"whatcha readin'?"
blog posts.

usually i
FINISH
the book before i
talk about it.

and i blog about the books
i have read
in the order that i have read them.

but i have got to tell you...
i am reading a book right now
that i had never heard of...
it was an e book through my library
and so i put myself on the wait list
and then it came
so i thought
well...i'll give it a try...

and i am flabbergasted dumbfounded in love hook line and sinker.

it's the kind of book
that i am about halfway in
and i can't wait to see what happens
but i know that every page i turn
brings me closer to the end
and i don't want it to end
and i really want to know what happens
but at the same time
the writing is so beautiful
and the turns of phrase so perfectly odd
that i also want to go back to the
beginning
and reread it again...
slower this time
so that i can really absorb it.

it's a debut book called himself from jess kidd
and i'm telling you
i am totally crushing on this right now.
to the point that if you saw me
walking home today
staring at my phone
THE WHOLE WALK HOME
it's because i was reading that book
on my phone....crossing roads
waiting at intersections
reading that book and completely lost in the story...
