Pickpick

I had so much fun reading my April #BookOfTheMonth pick! I wish I‘d read it in the warmer parts of the year, but reading by tree light does add a certain magic! This adventure fantasy— complete with seadragons, neat marking magic where tattoos come to life, a quest & romance— makes for a fast-paced & exciting read! Hanalei hasn‘t returned to her home since her father‘s betrayal, but when forced her return, it‘s a different welcome than envisioned!

3 of those were manga, so it's 15 books in total. I'm totally ok with that. My two #bookofthemonth titles are showed above:

Non-fiction: Einfach Selbst Bestimmt by Janka Kluge (Simply Self-Determinated)
Fiction: Free by Lea Ypi

Bookwomble Manga are books - it's ok to include them 😊 I'd count reading the list of ingredients on a cereal packet as a book if it was in the database! 😄 3w
Jari-chan @Bookwomble Yes, I fully agree! I grew up in a time when the bookish community was really strict and GNs, comics and manga didn't count, and one was blamed when doing so. Still can't get rid of the guilt 😅 3w
Bookwomble @Jari-chan Ah, the time of the Authoritarian Librarian Regime! Difficult times, difficult times indeed 😔🙃 3w
Jari-chan @Bookwomble True word, my friend. Hopefully, the times are changing now 🤞 3w

Picked my #botm #bookofthemonth books & am getting the challenge reward too! Picked 1 for Dec & added from a prior month - sounds interesting!

Also, rec‘d this pkd @AmyG , but no tag — #jolabokaflodswap? Either way, thank you!! 👏🏼👏🏼♥️

And sent my 2 #StuffedStockingSwap #sss packages on Wed! (1 big size and 1 small size) I believe they‘re both set to arrive Monday!

Finalizing the rest of my winter swap packages and will send those soon! 😄

AmyG No….just a little something to open whenever you want. 😘 3w
Avanders @AmyG awwww thank you!! 😘♥️ (I think I‘ll save it for one of those hard days, which do seem to crop up unexpectedly in Dec…;)) (edited) 3w
AmyG Perfect. That‘s what I was actually thinking. 3w
Avanders @AmyG you‘re so sweet & thoughtful 🥹🥰 3w

And then I also joined #belletrist 😨🫣 (paired w Tertulia, a book coop)

Good times…. 😁🥰😎

The book by Alok Vaid-Menon did get a higher rating, yes, but I learned more from this one. That's why it gets to be my #BookoftheMonth for Nonfiction.

So, my September #BookoftheMonth was by TJ Klune, and my October one is by TJ Klune. There might be a pattern? 😏

Review follows, since I'm a little behind again. But I don't worry about that anymore. The state of the world is something to worry about 😨

MaleficentBookDragon Well this book sounds good. #stacked 3mo
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon doesn‘t it?! 😄 I‘m happy to send it on once I read it, too ☺️ 3mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Avanders Ohhh, wow. Thanks. I\'d love that! 3mo
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon yeah f‘sho! I also have something I‘ve been holding onto for you — no rush (bc I don‘t even have this book yet, but I‘ll prioritize it on the tbr list), but send me your new address at some point. 🤗 3mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Avanders I had a box made up for you before I moved, and I haven\'t found it since I moved. Ugh. I lost a lot of stuff (or I\'ll find it in a weird place like my xmas decorations). I hate moving. 3mo
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon lol oh no! I totally get it. Especially in those final days of packing, things just get *packed* wherever they fit 😂 I hope you‘re starting to feel settled though! ♥️♥️ 3mo
