Love Rosemary's Baby. So glad to see you talking about it. The movie was good too.

I'm pretty sure Nestlings is going on my end of the year favorites! I had such a great time with that book, and a part at the end made me cry. I really need to get to Mary!

I love that you read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame 😄 I had similar thoughts on Midnight Is the Darkest Hour. So cool that you and Jess got to interview her!! 💀

Thanks, Alees! I was nervous about breaking the reviewer fourth wall, so to speak, but it went really well.

Annihilation keeps popping up in different ways in my life lately. I think it's a sign! Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite books. The movie is great, too, although director Roman Polanski is a disgusting human. Nestlings is one of my favorite books of the year, and I really enjoyed the live show discussion. I hope you have a lovely holiday season💀
@ReadingWryly8 ай бұрын
Oh! I don’t know anything about Roman Polanski, I’ll have to look him up. Thanks for coming to the live show! I’d say go for it with Annihilation. It’s really short so if you don’t like it, it’s not a huge waste of time.

Just found your channel a couple of months ago I think? Anyway I’m getting caught up in some of your wrap ups and gosh I’m loving these recommendations!! I’ve gotten so many great ones from you like We Spread. Being a 50 something woman I enjoy the older women protagonists. Anyway just wanted to comment to hopefully boost your algorithm in thanks of all the great recommendations!! I’m going to go on the the next one!! Talk soon 💜 Tamara

You gave a great recap of Annihilation! Overall it made me so curious as well, and I love when books do that. So I hope to continue! I loved Mary so I’m curious about Nestlings. I’ve read so many Rosemary’s Baby retellings lately but it’s a great basis for a story so I’m curious!

Thanks, friend! I was struggling to even give an idea of Annihilation. 😂 I’m glad I read Rosemary!

I agree that the writing style in Annihilation is hard to adjust too. I felt that it made the book difficult to follow at times. That said, it is still a good book and I am glad that I read it.

Oh, MAN. I read all three in the Southern Reach trilogy...and loved all of them...but I STILL couldn't give anyone a coherent synopsis of any of it. So well done for that! And you have totally sold me on the Alice Feeney book...! I've been listening to lots of audiobooks this year and I am finding that thrillers and mysteries are the easiest things for me to get into, in a listening format (for some reason I cannot listen to horror, I have to read it in print, weird!) but anyway, you've convinced me to read this older Alice Feeney one next. I did just listen to her Good Bad Girl and that one was pretty great. And Lisa Jewell! OMG. I have yet to find a bad one from her. I think my favorite so far is The Night She Disappeared (the main character was a mystery author!) but None of this is True was wild, and I loved it.
@MlleGhoul8 ай бұрын
AND NESTLINGS! As far as I am concerned, Nat Cassidy can do no wrong. And holy cow can that guy pen an afterword!
@ReadingWryly8 ай бұрын
I really struggled to talk about Annihilation 😂 Glad to hear you loved all three. I’ll have to continue on. I love that you are starting to get into audiobooks! Sometimes I lie was a good one for that. I haven’t read When She Disappeared yet. I had no idea it featured an author. That’s one of my favorite tropes!

I agree. He’s a good nut.

Annihilation feels like you start on page 290 of a much larger book and honestly I hated it so much. Because you have no idea what is going on and also it was super freaking boring. I hated it so much that I will never read another Jeff Vandemeer book again. Loved The Whisper Network. I related to it so much, even being a SAHM at the time I read the book.
@ReadingWryly8 ай бұрын
I completely understand how Annihilation could rub you the wrong way. That’s valid. I’m glad you loved The Whisper. Network!

Do I have to read Rosemarys baby to read Nestlings?
@theanswerisbooks8 ай бұрын
No you don't! Although it's fun if you do. I actually read half of Nestlings, read Rosemary's Baby, and then finished off Nestlings. But you absolutely can read it on its own.
