Mehso-so

When my March #BookSpin landed on category: KindleTBR I knew what I wanted. I saw this was being adapted so pulled it from the near bottom of ever-growing virtual TBR. Shoot. I‘m disappointed. Had I gone in anticipating a romance maybe this would get a pick. But I was expecting a rhodes scholar‘s challenges as an American experiencing advanced education abroad, and there is almost none of that. This title is such a misnomer.

AnnCrystal That's the worst, I've mistakenly believed books were something they wasn't due to the title and it's always annoying 📚🤔🧐🤨. 3h

Once again, super late posting about monthly challenges!! Luckily one on my #roll100 choices was my #bookspin! I think my #doublespin was on the #camplitsy24 longlist, and that‘s why I bought it! Hoping I can get to Turbulence as well because it‘s a favorite short story collection.

Right now I‘m reading Mothers and Sons by Adam Haslett from the library, and my #botm choice Care and Feeding by Bourdain‘s assistant Laurie Woolever. ⬇️

Megabooks Laurie worked for now-disgraced celebrity chef Mario Batali before she worked for Bourdain, and he was an a-hole and pig. Groped every female employee. Seemed to get off on denigrating every employee. Glad he was exposed!!!! 5h
Bookwormjillk Ew. Such a disappointment. (Batali) (edited) 5h
Megabooks @Bookwormjillk truly. It proves (again) you never know what a celebrity is like in real life. I enjoyed his shows on Food Network, but yeah, he deserved his comeuppance! 3h

Look who finished a book

I‘ve been sick and obsessing about Disney Dreamlight Valley so this has been a long time coming.

Rise of the World Eater is the 3rd and final installment of the Frostheart series and I thought it was a good end to the series.

This was one of January‘s #bookspin #doublespin pick but I can‘t remember which.

Childhoods End | Arthur C. Clarke

And here are my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin: a science fiction novel set somewhere in the future, and an eighteenth-century satirical fantasy set in “pre-Adamitical times.“ Looking forward to both though with very different expectations.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks!

TheBookgeekFrau I read Childhood's End wayyyyy back in freshman year of high school. I don't remember a thing about it except that I was annoyed when it was assigned because I was sure I would hate it. Shockingly, I really enjoyed it. 3d
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 2d
swynn @TheBookgeekFrau I'm a little embarrassed to admit I never read it. I'm looking forward to it! 2d

RamsFan1963 I knew this was going to win for March's #ClassicLSFBC selection, it's one of Clarke's better known works. I have to say I don't care for it. 2d
swynn @RamsFan1963 That's not encouraging. I hope I like it better than you did, but either way I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on why it doesn't work for you 7h

I don't think I made a #bookspinbingo board for January or February 😬 But here we are for March!
#BookSpin is Chasing the Boogeyman
#DoubleBookSpin is The Empire Strikes Back From a Certain Point of View

Thanks to @thearomaofbooks for keeping things going in the middle of a move!

LoverOfLearning Chasing the Boogeyman was good. Read it awhile back. Apparently book 2 is out now? Although I'd have to read the first one again 3d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks fantastic!! 2d
