Htaggert<p>I <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/justfinished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justfinished</span></a> All the Water in the World and while it got some mixed reviews- I found it to be a solid read. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/neurodiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiverse</span></a> representation, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/debutnovel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debutnovel</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreview</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookrecommendation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookrecommendation</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/literaryfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literaryfiction</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/clifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clifi</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/newyork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newyork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/03/book-review-all-water-in-world-by-eiren.html?m=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hollysreadingescapades.blogspo</span><span class="invisible">t.com/2025/03/book-review-all-water-in-world-by-eiren.html?m=1</span></a></p>
Htaggert<p>So here’s a possible hot take- <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/justfinished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justfinished</span></a> Half Broke Horses by J. Walls and while the book is well written, I really took a strong dislike to the character- so read at your own risk? <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookstadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstadon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreview</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/beatthebacklist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beatthebacklist</span></a> <a href="https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/03/book-review-half-broke-horses-by.html?m=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hollysreadingescapades.blogspo</span><span class="invisible">t.com/2025/03/book-review-half-broke-horses-by.html?m=1</span></a></p>
DThoris<p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/JustFinished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JustFinished</span></a> Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro</p><p>I loved the writing. The story was engaging, and the style was extremely easy to connect with. I had zero sympathy for Ruth. OK, that's not entirely true. Her being a self-important, controlling, mean-girl of a friend wasn't exactly completely on her. I found Kath's interactions with her to be kinder than I wished her to be. </p><p>But the SciFi part? </p><p>1/2</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SFF</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
