Here‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. I‘m going to count this for #bookspinbingo as a DNF. This is the 6th book on my #bookspin list. I‘m disappointed because this book sounded really fun and interesting. When I read a book, I like to be pulled into the story. I want to care about the characters and what‘s going on in the story. If that doesn‘t happen when I‘m reading a book then I‘m more likely to DNF.

My book club will soon discuss this engaging listen! Well-performed and set across England in 1932, Stella has something to prove with writing her second book. After dismal sales with her first biography, her publisher suggests she write a history of food in England. Still fresh in her grief of losing her mother, and navigating her own relationships, this does eventually get there. Stella‘s choices are less than stellar but her arc is satisfying.

I‘m thrilled to report that not only did I complete my goal for #YearEnd #20in4 by reading 20 chapters in this book—but I ended up finishing the entire book! The readathon gave me the push I needed to finish this one.

Thank you for hosting, @Andrew65!

Andrew65 Fantastic 👏👏👏🙌🎊🎉🥳 Thanks for playing along. 3mo

The last book I finished in 2023! I love food fiction and in this case, the main character is an author tasked with writing a history of English cooking. I loved all of the food, cooking, and recipes, and I really loved the historical info included about the English recipes. But the MC had a lot going on, and I got bored with all of the different dramas in her life. I struggled with a lot of the food, people, places, and pop culture references👇🏻

intothehallofbooks …but this made a lot more sense to me once I realized this book was published over in England a year ago. A cute story, will be most loved by more serious foodies or fans of British history and culture. Thanks to William Morrow and NetGalley for providing a digital copy for review. 3mo

#12Booksof2023 month: August @Andrew65

Another month where I didn‘t read much. Didn‘t have a favorite one but if I have to choose, then I would say was the tagged one.

I‘m joining the #YearEnd #20in4 Readathon hosted by @Andrew65!

My goal will be to read 20 chapters in the tagged book which will bring me to 3/4 thru it. (Actually, I‘d really love to finish it but having a goal is fun.) This is a NetGalley read that I‘m a little late on finishing. I‘m trudging thru it, likely because I‘ve been so busy at work and home lately. I tend to love books about food or cooking, so hoping this one will pick up for me.

I have a soft spot for small town Southern stories and this story scratched that itch in such a lovey holiday way. There were a number of storylines going on, which made it somewhat hard to keep track, but I just went along with it and enjoyed the ride the audiobook took me on. It‘s also in the middle of a series and I‘m excited to go back and read from the beginning. A very good listen! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #wintergames #SantasBookshELVES
