pickSome quite good books outnumbered 2 to 1 some somewhat meh books. That‘s okay, sometimes an average read reminds me what I like to read. Tagged my favorite

I've been reading a book for a while now, and despite trying multiple times, I just can't seem to finish it. The story is intriguing, but Murakami's stream of consciousness writing style—thoughts within thoughts—makes it difficult to follow. Sometimes, I lose track of the main story, and it becomes hard to stay engaged. As a result, I've lost interest, but I don't want to make a final verduct until I've completed it.
pickI do love this series: lovely, wholesome feel-good stories

I didn't post my colour list as I'm using the same one each month - probably boring to see it posted each month, lol. Here are my March #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks. I had quite a few books I could pick from with both these prompts which was a nice change from some of the previous colours. It's been really fun doing colours of covers - allows for more freedom in selections which is working well for me.

pickI loved this book! To use my teenage daughter‘s favorite word, it was whimsical. The writing is beautiful; the magic seems to come off the page. The characters are so great and alive, though I admit my favorite is the apple tree. I loved every minute of the story.
pickThis is not your typical romance book, and I‘m not sure how I feel about the ending. That said, it‘s a well written story with an interesting premise. I also like how the chapters go back in time to Daphne‘s previous relationships, adding color to the present day storyline.
This novel describing the lives of various families in a remote Armenian village in the 20th century is quite propulsive. Also, I didn't expect the Anne of Brittany mention.

pickOh, Franny and Jet what tragedies you endured. It‘s not often that books make my eyeballs sweaty … this one though ugh 😩
Well written. Excellent story. Wonderful characters.
More than worth it, I did not want it to end.
