Mein absolutes Lieblingsbuches dieses Jahr ist “Where the crawdads sing” von Delia Owens.

Great book! It’s well written and easy to read. I enjoyed escaping into the world of the Riva Family and getting to know them. Especially I liked the two storylines & how everything unfolds in the end. I loved the introduction of Carrie Soto and am looking forward to read this book next. Furthermore it left me wondering how Tarine’s Story would continue.

I enjoyed Taylor Jenkins Reid style of writing and am looking forward to read more of her books

I finished the book last weekend but didn’t have the time to share my thoughts yet. Overall I liked the book, I think it’s well written and an easy read. I liked the characters and especially the two timelines. Last week I was misssing depth especially in the siblings’ characters but interestingly by the end of the book that changed. Looking back I don’t think I need to know more of the siblings - i think i got to know them very well by the end of the book in their dealings with each other. The talk the siblings had with Mick explained many things. I even understand Mick better (just a little bit :-))

Everybody got a good ending I think it’s great that Nina get’s to do something just for herself for a change. The boys are good. Hud and Ashley are good. Loved how it was Mick who started the fire :-)

In my opinion it’s not one of my favourite books but it’s a good read. I agree it’s light reading but I like that sometimes when I don’t want to think too much just escape into another world. I’m definately going to read more books of this writer. I have my eye on Carrie Soto is back. Would also like to know how Tarine’s story would unfold?

Thank you for chosing me to join I liked the experience. I loved that I could do it English (I have to practice more) Would also do it again - maybe i’m a little bit old fashioned I actually would love to meet up in a café or bookshop and meet everybody for real instead of chatting online (for a next time…)

Fanny Hello everyone! Last week I was worried Junes life would end tragically and now that I know for sure I feel really sad about it. I hoped she would get a better ending… Poor Nina… she was already burdened with so much even before June died. I admire her for taking on so much responsibility at such a young age not only taking care of 3 children but also household, business, bills not being able to finish school… and she does it with so much love for her siblings. She’s a very caring person & everyone else comes first.

Oh Mick unbelievable. Can anyone believe he did not make it to the funeral? How can he be soooo selfish? I don’t understand. I have no words for it.

I like some of the new characters especially Tarine (she’s a fiery one :-)) some I don’t think are needed. Nevertheless I am looking forward to see how their storys unfold.

Brandon reminds me of Mick they are so alike. Mick & Junes story is repeated. I just hope that Nina stays strong and leaves him for good!! No going back Nina!!

I love Hud and Ashley and hope they get a happy ending. I actually don’t care how Jays is going to react.

Generally I think we get to know Nina very good but I miss getting to know Jay, Hud & Kit better… at a more deeper level.

Fanny Hey everyone! I really enjoyed the first reading week. It’s my first book from Taylor Jenkins Reid and I was really surprised how well I got into the book and how well it is written.

I like the Riva siblings and how we get to know them bit by bit. I like how close they are and how much they care for each other. Nina is the most adult one and like a mother to the rest of them. Jay & Hud seem like twins they complete each other. And Kit “the baby” is still a bit insecure trying to find her path in life. I identify most with Nina as I am also very responsable and try to look out for others.

I really enjoy switching through the two timelines and seeing how the past influences the future.

I personally love water but have never been surfing. I think it’s a way of life for them something that connects them with each other. It’s their family thing.

The parents relationship seems a bit cliché. The famous singer who cheats, drinks & takes drugs & the woman who loves him so much she can’t let go. I’m looking forward how this love story unfolds? Probably tragically. But I hope June can find a way out and a happy ending for herself? Looking forward to week 2.

Fanny I really like the book cover, i love the warm colors & the summer beach setting. I have to say that I would absolutely buy this book only judging by its cover and I have to admit, that the design of the cover is important to me. I’m drawn to colorful covers it’s the first thing I notice. Not so much black or white covers. But I do agree that there is too much propaganda.

Fanny I received my copy today looking forward to start reading!
