The fourth Dolittle book is set back in England. As usual (because of his generous nature) Dolittle is broke, so the pushmi-pullyu agrees to travel with a circus to raise some funds. So the entire household sets off together. This book was a lot about the importance of animal comfort and care and was definitely ahead of its time in calling out circuses and the like for their treatment of animals. There were some fun moments (Dolittle getting ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) arrested AGAIN 😂). The ending was quite abrupt, but it appears that book 5 is going to pick up right where this one left off.

A soft pick. I really enjoyed the details of intimacy coordination work and the characters reinventing themselves, but the slow burn romance fizzled out instead of blazing.

(Can't complain about three #ISpyBingo squares for my first book of the month though!)

Another month down in #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

The Cartoonists Club was a fun read, part story of the formation of a new school club, part instructional book on making comics and zines, part Ms Frizzle style encouragement to budding artists and writers to “take chances! make mistakes! get messy!“

I love the librarian who facilitates the group meetings, she's great.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looking great!! 5d

January 2025 Book #11
This retelling for me is poor integrating and even boring. I‘m not the target audience but didn‘t like it. However, the illustrations are beautiful made by the author. 2⭐️

January 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️

January 2025 Book #9
This is the conclusion (supposedly) of Mirren Triggs trilogy) I know first book is already translated (The Snow Girl) which is a Netflix series.
I liked the conclusion. At the end we see a mature Mirren who decides to make a choice in her relationship and life in general. The case in this story is so sad. A body was found with his “mouth sewn” and a father looking for his son who disappeared 30 years ago. 3.8/4⭐️

While everyone is posting their May tbr, I‘m still posting books read in January 😳🙄🤷🏽‍♀️☺️
January 2025 Book #8

I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️

Gissy #SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie that‘s why I like to participate in these buddy reads or Readathons because they give an opportunity to read books that maybe I would not read on a regular basis due to lack of time but it takes me time to finish them
