It took #OneMoreTry to get through this one, as I gave up on it pretty quickly the first time I tried to read it. #JuneTunz

TrishB Everytime hubby reads Good Omens in bed I have to tell him to shut up he laughs that much! I've never read it though 😀 8y

Melissa_J I couldn't finish those books either, but I don't plan on trying again 😁 8y

Bookworm54 @Melissa_J 😂 Good omens I'm not sure I will manage as it is very Terry Pratchett in its humour. With ink heart I watched the film and I'm pretty sure I gave up on the book JUST before it got exciting. Then again I was at least 100 pages in... maybe this second chance will change my mind. If not they will make someone else very happy when I donate them! 😉 8y

Laalaleighh Oh no! Terry Pratchett is my favorite writer! I'm so sad it's not for you! 8y

Island of a Thousand Mirrors | Nayomi Munaweera

Searching for a book for today's prompt for #junetunz. Then thanks to a fellow Litsyian @RealLifeReading , I discovered the book that I was reading could work! Not Spanish, but #laislabonita

Cinfhen How's the book so far? 8y

DivineDiana @cinfhen I'm learning about Sri Lanka of which I was very uninformed. Now, some characters have moved to LA, and the stories of immigrants always move me. (edited) 8y

Cinfhen I started this last summer but I had to return it to library ~ maybe it deserves #oneMoreTry 8y

DivineDiana @cinfhen I'll let you know my thoughts when I finish! 8y

The Dew Breaker | Edwidge Danticat

I just so happen to be reading two books set on islands: The Dew Breaker is set in Haiti (and also New York); Moving Sideways Like A Crab is set in Trinidad. Just right for #junetunz #laislabonita (and also #onemoretry at actually continuing posting for #junetunz 😀)

Cinfhen

Cinfhen Yay 😊 love when you pop in!! I recently read Moving Forward...I thought it was ok, good for #PrideMonth 8y

Cinfhen And tomorrow is #scars looks like your current read will work again 💟 8y

batsy Thanks for mentioning the Danticat book, I didn't know about this one. Whatever I've read by her I've loved. 8y

The Observations | Jane Harris

#junetunz #onemoretry I enjoyed Gillespie and I by Jane Harris, but wasn't too sure about the ending. I will be giving her another try though!

Cinfhen Sounds promising, I haven't read this author yet! 8y

Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race | Margot Lee Shetterly

#JuneTunz #onemoretry I don't want to sound like I had given up on Hidden Figures but I've been starting & stopping it on my Kindle for months now and never seem to be able to stick with it. But this afternoon I finally watched the movie (💙) and although I know they are different, it has inspired me to give it one more try & bump it to the top of my #TBR list for June. I'm going to work it in between review books somehow.! 📚📚😬👍📚📚

Missusb I did love ❤️ the film 8y

Cinfhen I ultimately bailed on the book too 😬but I hear the film is fabulous! Good for you giving it #OneMoreTry it's certainly worthy of our time! 8y

pocketmermaid I didn't really like the way the book was written, but I pushed through because it's an important story. I was a history major and have read a lot of history books of varying degree of writing skill and it's obvious that this author hadn't written history before. 8y

drbethandherkindle I didn't love the book either. The story is so interesting and important, but I honestly found the book mostly boring. 8y

Lost in a Strange Land | R G Austin

#junetunz Day11: #onemoretry
Trapped by a Minotaur? Eaten by a Cyclops? Captured by an Ogre? Turned to stone by Medusa? No worries! Go back and choose a different path. You get plenty of tries in a choose your own adventure book.
@Cinfhen

Cinfhen Brilliant 🎉🎉🎉🎉excellent pick!!! My son used to love these books!!! 8y
