pickStormbound by Maggie Maren is not in the database. I read it via Kindle Unlimited and it was okay, a low pick. I liked the setting and the witchy woman who is stranded and the lumberjack forest ranger who feels compelled to protect her. #BookspinBingo

So many books to choose from😬🫣 so, I tried to narrow it down. These are the (Jan - May) #SeriesLove2024 reads that stand out the most for me this year.
#Roll100 - caught up with a lot of missed reads: The Sirens of Titan (Aug), The Prince of Mist (Sept), The Last Flight (Nov), Early Riser, Birds of Prey: Black Canary and Saga, Vol. 3 (Dec).
Didn't finish all the spins for the year, just the December ones:
- #BookSpin: The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
- #DoubleSpin: The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
One #BookSpinBingo 🎉and... #bracket2024
Happy New Year!

pickThis fascinating piece of non fiction was a deeply researched exploration of the intersection of faith, culture, and politics. It made me think about the assumptions our society makes about religion and shines a light on the complex and often corrupt history and values of white evangelicalism. Really compelling on #audio . #BookspinBingo
pickThis came recommended, and I‘m so glad! Fantastic cozy mystery set in 1920s Bombay, featuring a female lawyer/sleuth. It involves different cultures and religions found in the city at the time, and all that goes with it. Really well done! (And it got me a #bingo to close the year #bookspinbingo )
First #BookSpinBingo of 2025! It'll be a fun ride!

pickThis was a great one to read at the end of the year to learn about voices I may not be familiar with and set me up for a really diverse reading year in 2025! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #diversebooks
pickStill wrapping up a few Christmasy reads for #WinterGames and #ReadOuttheOld This month I've focused on books that I already owned and have checked off 15 books (some of which included multiple shorter stories), almost all of which are now in the donate box, meaning I have room for that many more Christmas books for next year!! 😂
This one was a soft pick. It's classic workaholic city girl has to go home and get caught up in small town ⬇
My first #bookspinbingo list of 2025. I decided to try making some picks prompts of books I already have (or I'd pre-ordered maybe). I want to give my brain permission to be its chaotic self while not forgetting about the tons of (hopefully) amazing books I already own. Plus, I've been finding myself not wanting to read something when I feel like I have to (which is pressure said brain places on itself, but what can you do)

so-soThis one just didn't really work for me. Part of it is that I should have bailed on this book as soon as I realized that a big part of the plot was going to be lying/withholding information/secrets. I'm just not a fan of stories where ONE CONVERSATION could solve all our problems BUT NO ONE WILL HAVE IT. The thing was, I really liked the characters and the setting, so I thought maybe it would be okay. It was not. I was stressed the entire time ⬇
