JOMP Book Photo Challenge - December - 02/12/24 - Currently Reading

I wasn't able to take part in the last November prompts as I've been spending a lot of quality time with family and friends. I have to admit, though, that I've really missed preparing those little posts. They've become a delightful habit in my daily routine, and I always looked forward to creating one or two posts after my work shift. I'm so grateful to have discovered just0nemorepage's blog as well as being able to see all the amazing posts from other book lovers participating in this challenge.

The book I am currently reading is The Cloisters by Katy Hays. To be honest, I initially bought this book merely because the book cover is absolutely gorgeous, but the novel itself has been an intriguing read so far. Set against the backdrop of New York City, The Cloisters follows a young scholar named Ann Stilwell. After a bumpy start, she lands a job at The Cloisters, a secluded museum housed in a gothic building in Upper Manhattan. At first, Ann’s position seems like a dream come true, as she is given the chance to assist with a major project focused on the study of divination, Tarot cards and their connection to mythology and the occult.

Without giving away much of the story, the eerie atmosphere and elements of psychological suspense and mystery instantly allude to dark secrets that Ann will uncover eventually - dark secrets about the museum and its staff, as the world of the Cloisters - where ancient texts and modern minds intersect - is not entirely what it seems. The book draws on themes of obsession, deception, and the blurred lines between academic pursuit and dangerous intrigue.

After finishing the story, it is even possible to dive a little bit further into the novel's themes and motifs by pondering a bit about the prepared discussion questions. My edition includes not only discussion questions, but an interview with the author and a detailed guide on how to read Tarot cards as well.
