bailed

After 136 pages I'm out. It's just not holding my interest. #HailTheBail

This concludes my #AllergicToChunksters challenge. Thank you @julieclair for helping me get 3 huge books off my TBR shelves!! 🙏🏼💕

TheAromaofBooks I know many people love Kingsolver's books, but I have tried three and haven't been able to finish any of them, so she just must not be a good fit for me. 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks She's hit or miss for me now. I loved her earlier books, but either her writing style changed, or I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Thanks for that, because I'm having a hard time getting into it. But I feel encouraged to give it more time 😊 1mo

bookandbedandtea I was looking at this on my shelf over the weekend. It sounds great but it's soooo huge. I deferred it again. 😬 1mo

julieclair Good for you! 1mo

LiteraryHoarderPenny @TheBookgeekFrau I listened to it, but I don‘t know if that would help. I hope it gets better for you! 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryHoarderPenny Listening to books doesn't work for me, my mind wonders too much lol But, thank you, I've read some more and am getting into it....for now 😅 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair And Thanks to *You* for this challenge!💞 You are the fire beneath my chunkster avoiding ass 😂 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea The first 30 or pages had me really regretting my decision. But I figured I had to at least give it to 50. I'm currently on 52 and getting into it. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Good luck!!! 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks Thanks!! 😊 1mo

Frida Kahlo | Mar�a Isabel S�nchez Vegara

pick

On the day I left my SWF holiday I managed to visit Noff‘s op shop in Regent St Redfern. I ❤️ that it is open on Sun. The cardi seems to be vintage, it has sparkles & was only $4 down from $10! The 👗 also has sparkles. I can‘t resist a small men‘s 👕 with a beautiful pattern. Last yr I scored lots of good adult 📚. This yr it was beautiful picture 📚 plus a travel 📕 for me. I‘ll keep the kids 📚 at my place for my little people to enjoy here.

Me, Frida, and the Secret of the Peacock Ring | Angela Cervantes

It's Paloma's first trip to Mexico City, home of her long-deceased father, and she doesn't want to be there.

Until she meets new friends, is intrigued by Frida Kahlo, and finds there is a mystery to be solved.

Last Wicked Words for the month! #WickedWords @AsYouWish
And Spanish-Speaking country for @julieclair #FictionalTraveler
Also a GORGEOUS cover.

Frida, a Biography of Frida Kahlo | Hayden Herrera

pick

Wow..... This book was heavily detailed, rich and colorful like the paintings Kahlo was known for.

Hours worth of journal entries from herself as well Diego, letters written by her and to her, articles, and interviews highlight Kahlo and show her as this majestic, larger than life, exotic and fiery individual who captivated so many.
