#BOTM says there's something wrong with my address, despite living here 20+ years and getting my delivery from them perfectly fine (almost) every month since 2020. 😫
I emailed them. Hopefully they'll try again.
Also, I am soooo ready for spring 🌱🪻🌿

TheBookHippie Oh dear. 6d
AnnCrystal 🥺 Crazy! 🤨. (edited) 6d

bookandbedandtea @TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal They are resending it. 😊 I believe this was a post office issue, not BOTM, so hopefully USPS will have it together this time. 🤞🏻 5d
bookandbedandtea @readingwithbrian Good grief! Gotta wonder how an empty box happens.🤦‍♀️ I'm glad they were helpful with resolving that! 5d
AnnCrystal @bookandbedandtea that's good 👏🏼☺️🤞🏼📚💝. 5d

What an emotional roller coaster of a US debut! I absolutely loved this heart wrenching drama set mostly in the 1960s in a small English village. A love triangle with fatal consequences told in a dual timeline quickly becomes impossible to put down! Beth‘s literary dreams turn into a fulfilling life on a farm until her first love returns home & all of their lives change forever. Some surprises are easy to see but some jaw-dropping ones remain!

AmyG Good to know it‘s a good book! I love surprises. (edited) 7d
TorieStorieS @AmyG I loved this one!! Plus, I‘m glad it‘s a #BOTM add-on for the month! 7d
ShelleyBooksie Based on the synopsis there is harm that comes to an animal - is it revisited a lot in the book? 7d
See All 7 Comments
TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie It‘s one brutal scene with death to 4 animals total. It‘s in the beginning & isn‘t really revisited in detail (though it‘s mentioned again once). While this type of scene usually is enough to really detract from the book for me, it‘s like a bloody bit of foreshadowing for the rest of the emotional ride the book gives. It‘s not a gratuitous scene, but with the farm setting, the mortality of animals is present but not pervasive. 7d
TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie It‘s a predator/prey situation that involves lethality for all animals involved. It‘s horrible, but didn‘t make me cry. If that helps at all$ 7d
ShelleyBooksie Thank you @TorieStorieS - I really appreciate that detail. The book sounds really good but I had been avoiding it. 6d
TorieStorieS @ShelleyBooksie No problem— I was hesitant about it, too, but I ended up really loving it (maybe in part because my expectations were low?)— if you do read it, I definitely want to know what you think of it! 😊 6d

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!!!! 1w
Bookwormjillk Ew. Such a disappointment. (Batali) (edited) 1w
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! 1w
