Chatting Books Online Day 46. Ok, I admit it I am a book snob. I REALLY did not want to like this book . Actually, since it came out in August of 2018 I have cringed every time someone came in to buy a copy or raved over it to their friends . But they did , and in huge numbers . But every time my response was “I’m sorry, I just can’t read a book with ‘crawdads’ in the title “. And that was really all I knew about it . I had no idea of the story line . I did not even know it was a mystery. I love mysteries ! So this weekend, after yet another bookclub chose this book, I decided to see what all the fuss was about and I was completely prepared to feel vindicated that I was correct and anything that used the word “crawdad” would obviously be drivel . Well, I started the book on Saturday afternoon and stayed up past midnight on Monday night to finish it .
So today’s recommended book is Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens . This book is actually a highly readable , page turner of a mystery, with a bit of a tale of friendship , an underdog story, and even a love story thrown in . And the best part ? They only actually used the word “crawdad” three times in the whole book .
