good thing about being an adult is i can say no to things

bad thing about that is that my mother will definitely guilt me into feeling bad about it

05/02 pub day: The Half Moon, Mary Beth Keane

[full thoughts] This book is about a couple that split, but they somehow find their way back to one another indirectly. The bar Half Moon is the main topic of this book, and infertility is kind of the secondary topic. Long chapters & a slow pace, but an interesting read overall

Book Review: The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova

A cross between Stardust and One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is a lush, imaginative, and magical family saga about the Montoyas. It mostly centers around the matriarch, Orquídea, who is dying and has called everyone home to Four Rivers so she can bestow them with their inheritance. They hope to learn the secrets she has been guarding closely her whole life. Instead, they leave stunned and confused: with far more questions than answers.

Seven years later, some of Orquídea's magic manifests among a few of her descendants in beautiful but unnerving ways. At the same time, an unknown figure cloaked in darkness begins to terrorize the family, picking them off one-by-one. With danger lurking, Marimar and her cousins Rey, Tatinelly, and Rhiannon set off for Ecuador, determined to save their family as well as learn the secrets of their inheritance.

I really liked how this book was rooted in family, in multigenerational expanse. There was an invocation of "family trees" and "ties that bind" that I found to be a compelling part of the tapestry. Quite powerful. The story's richness also came from its ability to blend the inexplicable with the explicable, giving life to the characters through the magic they had at their fingertips but also through the hardships they had to traverse with grit, with courage of heart. The magical realism could be too ambiguous in spots, impossible to untangle. Other than that, I thought this was a detailed, transportive, slowly unfolding tale steeped in South American folklore and culture.

Many thanks to Atria Books and Edelweiss for the ARC.

3/5 stars

BOOK REVIEW: ROSES IN DECEMBER BY MARK A. GIBSON

RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 Let me start by saying I am so glad my journey with the Hamilton family is over. I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a book, but here we are. A Song that Never Ends and Roses in December are some of the best books I’ve ever read, but the Hamilton family broke my damn heart over and over to the point where I don’t think it even exists anymore. What heart, this book destroyed…

Dad (Тато) (Батько)

Екранізація роману Вільяма Вортона. Фільм про сімейні цінності, причому зроблений без зайвого пафосу і якомога щиро.

Сім'я дорожча за всі гроші світу.

Ретельно розрахована, але зворушлива мелодрама, не без помилок, але загалом непогана.

Це сімейне кіно. Не комедія, хоча окремі епізоди є і одну з головних ролей грає Джек Леммон.
