Favorite book(s) of the month: No & Ich, A Reunion of Ghosts

 

Books started this month but haven't finished yet: Paint My Body Red, The City Center, Welche Farbe hat die Wahrheit, Scintillate (I'm so close to just giving up but there aren't that many pages left. I have to finish it. You just don't stop racing a bit before the finish line. Right?!)

 

That month was weird. Seriously. I'm thankful for the 3 graphic novels/Manga that I read, cause otherwise I would not be happy with the amount of things I read. But the quality of the books were actually really good. So quality over quantity, right?

A Reunion of Ghosts!!!
A Reunion Of Ghosts - Judith Claire Mitchell

First things first: I received this through NetGalley.

 

This is my book of the year. This is the book that is not just my favorite now but I have a feeling will be a favorite book forever, one that I will pick up many more time, always with different feelings, always with different favorite parts. It's just one of those books.

 

"...the shared confessional of three sisters preparing to kill themselves,
honouring the dark legacy that has haunted their family." - that was the part of the description that made me interested in the book in the first place. Cause I just knew it would be one of those really dark stories. How could it not be. But it's just so much more. It's dark and frustrating and sad. But it's also beautiful and funny and wonderful. Bittersweet.

I love the three main girls. Delph, Vee and Lady. The three sisters. There were always some little things about the three where I found myself thinking "Oh this is so me!". I just love them so much. I wish they all could have a better life, a different and happier ending.

 

I'm truly in love with the author's writing. It was so beautiful and did the story great justice. You know, there are those books with that beautiful idea behind it but the writing doesn't deliver. This is so not the case right here. Everything was perfect (and I don't throw the word around lightly). What I really liked was how the backstory/the flashbacks to earlier generations of the family were incorporated. It flowed really well with the story and just worked so well. (Also on a side note: The german in the book was really good.)

 

I'm just really in awe with this book and really recommend it to everyone.

I'm still in love with this book. The writing. The story.
I love the three main ladies and the whole backstory we are getting from way way back.

I actually wanna shout from the rooftops how amazing and beautiful this book is.

I'm just gonna repeat myself but I really love how this book is written. The atmosphere, the characters. Just everything. Also there is this dark humor in there that I love so much.
