Is it the same as "The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle"? Have you started it yet? How is it? It is on my reading list, but the present tense writing deters me from starting it.Fifi_eve12 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2019, 08:44 I want to read "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" by Stuart Turton, will anyone read with me?

Yes, it is the same as the 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I have started it and I am finding that it is plentiful in description but still keeps me guessing throughout the book. The author reveals any information very gradually and, at the very beginning, you are told barely anything. I am enjoying it and I'm finding that each character has their own secrets. You get used to the present tense and I only found that it made the action more extreme.gali wrote: ↑25 Mar 2019, 02:18Is it the same as "The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle"? Have you started it yet?

Ok, I will give it a chance. I can read it with you after finishing my current book, if you like.Fifi_eve12 wrote: ↑25 Mar 2019, 02:58Yes, it is the same as the 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.

I will probably start the book tomorrow.

@hsimone when do you want to start "Before the Devil Breaks You" by Libba Bray? I finished my current book and want to start another.

@gali Hmm Do you think we could start it the beginning of May? I have a backlog of books that I want to get through for this month.

I'm looking at reading The Priory of the Orange Tree for all of May and maybe have a chapter by chapter discussion of what's going on?
Let me know if you're interested.

I will add it to the first post.khaleesi-reads wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 08:46 Hiiii so I have no idea if this is the right place but I'm falling into a huge reading slump so thought I'd try and buddy read with someone.

(You may try checking who has the book in their 'want to read' shelf and tagging them in here if they're still active.)
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
