Aug 18th, 2020 • 📚reading updates📚 . 🌿LAST - Pew. I honestly don't know what to make of this book. I loved both the writing - I highlighted several passages - and the themes explored (identity, race and religion among others). However, despite a very strong beginning and my own drive to see where the book would take me, the ending completely underwhelmed me, to the point where I am wondering if I actually understood what the author was trying to do. . ⚔️NOW - Rage of Dragons. This is military fantasy and it is indeed quite heavy on the military training and the military divisions. However, I am really enjoying it. The societal class system, as well as the magic one, are extremely complex and I am fascinating by all of it. It also has a glossary at the end which is life-saving as I do tend to look at it here and there for certain words. . 🧜🏿‍♀️NEXT - The Deep. I am keeping my promise and focusing on the books I received from my birthday - so far I've read Pew, Mexican Gothic (review soon) - and in truth I am 20 pages into this one (I started it last night) and I am intrigued. • • #lastnownextreads #augustreads #pew #catherinelacey #literaryfiction #therageofdragons #evanwinter #thedeep #riverssolomon #fantasybook #currentlyreading #currentreads #unitedbookstagram #bookphotograph #bookishpost #bookloversunite #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEB6pxtgzyK/?igshid=b5tx5p7uvzx0

LONDON — Aina: “This book is about Mary, who seems to be a very fragile character and in pain constantly—physically and mentally. I get the feeling that Mary is someone who doesn’t ask anything out of life anymore. She has just gotten selected for a mysterious job, which turns out to be a famous actor recruiting women to be his girlfriends. The so-called ‘girlfriend project’ dissects the role of the girlfriend into several characters, played by different women: the angry one, the maternal one, the intellectual one. Like much else these days, it’s sold as something innovative but, from a gender perspective, you have ten girls who collectively form a ‘perfect girlfriend’ for a powerful and famous man. The way the author writes about dating is perverse, but at the same time it’s quite funny. Mary has just gotten chosen as his emotional girlfriend, and I’m super intrigued to see where she’ll take the story next.” @aina_pomar #TheAnswers #CatherineLacey / @marta_bh for #subwaybookreview #london 🇬🇧 (at London, United Kingdom)

Finished quickly on set and loved every page. Lacey is a great sculptor of the lost souls that wander America in the digital age. #bookreview #instareads #instabooks #certainamericanstates #catherinelacey https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-NnkmJCxplIhko_fdiqXMGQotrol99gYZbw80/?igshid=1e2yv0zgs6se4

Catherine Lacey presenta Le risposte, #libreria #Altroquando #theanswers #catherinelacey #books #novel (presso Altroquando)

finally getting around to reading "the answers" by #catherinelacey. i think it's my favorite of her writing. more plot driven than "nobody is ever missing" was. #booklr #bookstagram #books #reading

Looking for a new read that would leave you biting your fingernails until you read till the end? THE ANSWERS by Catherine Lacey is the story an egoistic actor,Kurt, who is the torch bearer of a girlfriend experiment!! Highly paid young women are employed and given a handbook that specifies their duties (Emotional, Anger, Maternal etc). What happens when Mary is recruited as the Emotional gf and soon the thin lines between the job and reality seem to blur and she is caught in her own relationships, the new job, Kurt and his other girlfriends? - - I was enthralled by the read. I liked Lacey's sarcasm and her character sketches. Link in bio for a complete review. . . . #theanswers #catherinelacey #candle #books #booklover #coffee
