Ready to go! #BookspinBingo I never end up getting the bingos I initially plan, but I started Three and Certain American States yesterday, and they happen to be together on the same row with my #bookspin. Maybe a point of attack…🤔

I AM SCREAMING WITH JOY RIGHT NOW! 😱😱😱 The second book in this series now has a cover and pub date and it's March 2023! That's not that long of a wait! Look at this cover! LOOK AT IT! I am so freaking excited right now I think I'm having heart palpitations! 🤣😂 I'm going to have to reread the first one again before this drops! AHHHHH MY HEART! 💕📚💕📚💕📚💕📚

Tagging the first book because I can't find this one!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That is a great cover! I love it, it‘s great to see a queen on her throne, and not half undressed 😂 I know, such a little thing, but awesome! 9h

#bookspin #bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks #november

1 Bingo!
1 Bookspin read
2 Double spins read (still trying to catch up!)

Not the best month, but most of these books were super heavy nonfictions so I am pretty happy with the month.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic month!!! 11h

I had too high expectations for this one.. It read a lot more thans/homopbilobic than I think the author intended, and the ending was so/so. Kinda disappointing.

I finished 13 print books in November, put one in hibernation, and read my four short stories. Good month despite my end-of-year slowdown! At the end of the month, I was purposefully avoiding getting a bingo. 🤣 #BookspinBingo

Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes | Travis Baldree

Every review says how calming and stress-free this is, but I found it to be chock full of stress about losing everything financially, as well as threats--and a horrific act--of violence. It's not anywhere near too dark for me, but the discrepancy between expectations and reality was stark and disorienting, so I wanted to put out a review in case other highly sensitive folks with PTSD could use the warning. But I did like it--positives in comments!

ThePageantHam All of that said, this is a great book, and when I wasn't stressed out by it, I was in fact quite charmed, warmed, and calmed by it. Travis Baldree's writing and narration are excellent. I'm a sucker for found family, folks feeling empowered to reinvent themselves to live a life more aligned with their values and needs, and of course, coffee shops. 2d

ThePageantHam There is a touch of sapphic romance here, and though it was less fleshed out than I expected/hoped, it was lovely all the same. There is a ratkin named Thimble who bakes wildly delicious cinnamon rolls and a dire-cat named Amity who behaves just like a housecat despite her much larger size, and that's just scratching the surface of the cast of characters I grew to love here. 2d
