I have not participated in ages,but decided to give it a go this month. Found some books hidden behind others I forgot I owned! 😱🤪 #bookspin #1 #19 #bookspinbingo
#1: The Lovers of Amherst #fiction #dualtimeline
#19: mother daughter me #memoir
Here‘s my #bookspin picks for the numbers that were drawn. An interesting thing happened this time. I don‘t have books picked for either one of these. #1 will be whatever book I end up reading on my Kindle. I haven‘t decided on a book for that yet. #19 is a reading challenge prompt for a reading challenge I‘m participating in on StoryGraph. This is very specific but I should be able to find a book to fulfill this prompt very easily.
I marked off all but two squares this month; only two were DNFs. So, not a bad month at all. The only ones left on the board were #19 and #4 (squares still faded).

A little late with my #5JoysFriday list. I got back yesterday from Oregon with unfortunately a relapse in bronchitis or other gunk the last few days. Probably the universe‘s way of telling me to slow down & not travel. Anyway I slept & feel a bit better but moving slowly & behind on everything.😬
But still… there was lots of joy this past week.
1) My trip to Oregon could probably count as 5. Beautiful weather & lots of family time + a good ⬇️
pick#Women‘s Prize Long & Short List
The books I have read from the long list for the Women‘s Prize have been so hard to read, so dark, sad.
This one is a family drama/coming of age story, narrated in two time lines. Every main character has a dark side in terms that they are not who they project to others, they have secrets, they are full of lies, hurting others. There are some triggers here: suicide, sexual abuse. Some parts are so sad😢⬇️
pickSecond in the new bunch of Munsch. Definitely not as intricate a story as his early stories, but it's still super cute. #19-2024.
panA very jacked up book that I wish I wouldn‘t have picked up. It‘s one of the most sick and twisted books I‘ve ever read and I‘m going to need a break from anything even close to dark, psychological thrillers, or anything even remotely close. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, human trafficking, sexual assault of a teen, descriptive torture, all around fucked-upness in the worst way. How can someone even write like this?! Book #19 2024
so-soHorrible cover😝This is book 2 in the Emry Merlín, a retelling. Not much to say without spoil book 1. In some parts, the story was okay, funny and the romances cute, at YA style. However, this a modality with YA trilogies, no need to have 3 books at all. There is a third book coming this year and I bet that these two last books could end the story in just one book. Why? why are they dragging the stories?🤦🏽♀️3⭐️and I think I‘m giving too many
