Late to post my #Roll100 books for July & all 3 rolls were “anys” so I ended up with:

#34: “Any Bridgerton” (Love the show, haven‘t read the books but ordered the #OnceUponABookClub boxes a few years ago so I put them on my list & I‘m starting with the first book.)🤷🏻‍♀️

#3: “Any BOTM” & as I can‘t seem to get this read without a nudge, it‘s going to be Just For the Summer.

#66: “Any Library Book” & my e-book hold came in for The Art Thief.

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

My final late review of May, I read this one for my bimonthly virtual foodie bookclub. It was my pick & I chose it because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it but I ended up reading it on Kindle Unlimited & haven‘t opened the box yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fun cozy set in France after WWII with Julia Child as the friend of the MC, Tabitha, a recent expat from Detroit living with her grandfather & his partner. I enjoyed it & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …I‘m looking forward to the 2nd book (tagged below) in the American in Paris series that just came out in April. Paired here with Julia‘s (Hot or Cold) Cream of Cucumber Soup. I am late on my blog post but will add in the link to the recipe once I‘m done. 5mo

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

Read for #Roll100 (#59) in May (I‘m catching up with reviews) & this was a fun take on The Bachelor. Not much of a Cinderella retelling as advertised other than the MC being named Cindy & having (not evil) stepsisters/stepmother, but it‘s a cute body-positive rom-com book. I had a #OnceUponABookClub box for it & got gifts to open which made it fun. This is part of a Meant To Be fairytale series by different authors.

#SpringSkies #BkClubRead

I‘m hosting the April/May round of the blogger virtual foodie book club I belong to & the tagged book is what I selected for our #BookClubRead 🔪💙 (Mostly because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it! I‘m excited to start reading & open up the #OUABC gifts!) 😉🤗

#ItTakesAllKinds

Some #Fantasy titles from my way out of control #TBR These are also some of my #OnceUponABookClub titles which means they also have wrapped gifts. Hoping the next #Roll100 picks one to push me through some #OUABC boxes!

#ItTakesAllKinds

The #OnceUponABookClub box for February that I received yesterday has this book about the Vietnam #War

I have avoided Kristin Hannah books & many war books because I have to be in the *right* mood for sad stories & that‘s been harder lately. But hey, the #OUABC box includes 4 mystery gifts to open while reading so I may have to dip in soon.😉

Eggs OUABC ! Sounds cool, opening the boxes! BTW this book was amazing , for me; I was in high school in 1968. We‘d watch reporters‘ filmed coverage of Vietnam combat on the evening news every night. It made people really see war up close and how senseless it all was❤️‍🩹😔💔 8mo

I gifted myself the Up All Night Box from #OnceUponABookClub because it‘s a fun way to celebrate New Year‘s Eve & I like the 40 book challenge which if you complete the poster (in the tube), they send you a free book. Although haven‘t opened it up yet, I got a sneak peek of the challenge on StoryGraph & coincidently, the tagged book that I received this weekend for completing the 2023 challenge, fits prompt #32: “A book with a playlist” 📚💚

Pretty happy with my November reading as I finished 17 books! 🎉📚🎉 They weren‘t necessarily the books in my November TBR as I made a mid-month decision to try to complete the #BOTM challenge & the #OnceUponABookClub 40 book challenge this year & switched out books. I am on track to finish both in December.

I finished my #SundayBuddyRead #JaneAdjacent & #ChildrensClassicsRead2023 #NancyDrewBR books & one for my virtual foodie book club too.⬇️

DebinHawaii Favorites this month were The Last Devil to Die & Project Hail Mary although I enjoyed most everything I read this month. (edited) 11mo

#AutumnPlease

I have a #OnceUponABookClub YA box for this #Wicked title but have not gotten around to reading it yet. I had to order it based on the “Ethiopian-inspired debut fantasy retelling on Jane Eyre” blurb. Now that this prompt has put it front of mind, I may have to move it up closer to the top of the stack! 🤦🏻‍♀️

***Spoiler of what‘s in the #OnceUponABookClub Spooky Halloween box for this book*** If you don‘t want to know, stop reading & don‘t look too closely at the pic.

In addition to the hardback book, bookplate, quote, bookmark & guide, the gifts were:
-2 pairs of spooky shoelaces
-2 Halloween pillows “Spooky” & “Trick-or-Treat”
-battery operated lantern
-sign with “Something Wicked This Way Comes” on it

To bug to photograph well. This is # 11 ⬇️

DebinHawaii …on my #ScarathlonBucketList to read the book & open the gifts, so +11 #Scarathlon points for Team #SpookyGhostClub 👻🖤👻 13mo
LeahBergen Thanks for sharing with me! I‘m always curious about these book boxes. 13mo
DebinHawaii @LeahBergen I find the value is more in the experience than the actual “gifts” but they do make it fun. 13mo
