Shanghailanders | Juli Min

I loved both my #bookspin and #doublespin this month. Summerwater has rightfully received a lot of love here. Shanghailanders also in that novel-in-stories vibe with the story of a Chinese/Japanese parents with three daughters living in Shanghai after the parents met as young adults in Paris. The story is told in reverse chronological order. I don‘t think that plot device added anything, but the novel was still great! Life update ⬇️

Megabooks Dad is still in the nursing home. We miss having him here, and he is very homesick, which is heartbreaking! He is making some progress in PT/OT/speech therapy but so far not enough that we can manage him in home. I don‘t have a lot of space to feel my feelings because my energy goes to supporting Mom and Dad. But it is vastly physically easier for me with him there. One of us is visiting him everyday and usually staying for an hour. ⬇️ 11h
Megabooks I have caught the flu. (I think. No test yet to confirm.) So I‘m just trying to stay away from everyone today. Otherwise, I‘m reading some. If you want to know what, I‘m still logging under the same handle on the storygraph. Miss everyone here and hoping my life hits a routine soon. @BarbaraBB your birthday gift arrived yesterday!!! Yay!! Thank you!! 💙💙 11h

TheAromaofBooks Glad you enjoyed your Spins!!!! It's tough when you just physically can no longer provide someone you love with the care they need. But it's wonderful that you can still be close and do what you can!! 1h

This was a very quick read. A bit young, and the characters lack emotional depth. But the story did grab me.
I'm definitely reading the rest of the series.

Low pick. I actually read my #botm the month I got it!

This one could have benefited from being in both MCs head. It got exhausting being in only Ada‘s head.

I had some issues, but overall I did like this one.

It‘s Ali Hazelwood. So, cute romcom stories about grumpy, handsome and very tall men and cute, tiny women. Everyone is smart and there‘s at least one word I can‘t pronounce. But they are fun, and even if they are similar to each other, they are different enough from other books that I‘ll keep reading them. #doublespin #bookspinbingo

A couple of days late on my mid-month #bookspinbingo check in, but it's been a weird month (year?), and better late than never. Not reading as much as I'd like but still more than I anticipated, and I completed my #bookspin & #doublespin picks, so there's that

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looking great!! 5d

I just finished this fun cozy mystery this morning. It was a nice palette cleanser from thrillers and horror.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
It was a slow start but I‘m glad I stuck with it.

The first part of this huge collection is done. Read the first two short stories as my #DoubleSpin this month. Both stories are good and very Warhammer-ish, but too similar if read directly after each other. The first story is set before Xenos, the second one after. The stories are recommended for fans of Eisenhorn, especially since we learn how he lost his hand in the second one.

Luke-XVX Do you play 40K? 6d
Jari-chan @Luke-XVX I read it mostly 😅 I'm not really into the game itself, though, because I'm not really a gamer per se 🙈 But I love the lore 😅 6d
Luke-XVX Some of my friends are diehards for it. I don‘t have the eyesight for painting tiny miniatures. Looks cool though 6d

Jari-chan @Luke-XVX Relatable. I don't have the patience to do it. I do have a set of my favourite characters though. 6d
Luke-XVX Tyranids looks badass and I like Blood Angels. How about you? (edited) 6d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6d
Jari-chan @Luke-XVX Blood Angels are really cool! I also like Eldar after reading several books about them. The Adepta Sororitas are also one of my favourites. And Gaunt and his Ghosts will always have a place in my heart. 6d
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks 💖💖💖 6d
The_Book_Ninja I decided this should be my first foray into 40k. I‘m on the last 3rd of Malleus but I did the same as you, didn‘t read one after the other. I sometimes get lost in the terminology but they‘re good pulpy sci-fi with a dash of Lovecraft 6d
Jari-chan @The_Book_Ninja Yeah, the terminology can be hard to get into, but once you know the most important ones, it'll get easier. I hope you'll enjoy those books 6d
The_Book_Ninja 👊🏼☺️ 6d
