I‘m finally feeling like I‘m going to get better so I‘m dusting my bedroom and killing myself with allergies. This includes rearranging TBR bookshelves. This one has 65 books I haven‘t read and 8 that I have 🤦🏻‍♀️ these are primarily second hand book finds. I have a problem. ( the 4 DG books and the Lunar Chronicles series are read ) #worldbookday

dabbe Looks like you're set with books for a while. But are we truly ever settled? 🤔😍😂 3w
mcctrish @dabbe this is a drop in the bucket and no, not even close to settled. The beauty of this stackage was that once I read them I am to give them away since they were all super cheap or free. And yet. Here they sit. Waiting their turn. 3w
dabbe @mcctrish They're being very patient. 😃 3w

Apparently, it's World Book Day today! Anybody sending their child off to school dressed up as a character from a book? I feel I am missing out: my child is an adult and my grandchild is too young, LOL. (Although to be fair, admiring cute dressed-up children is a lot less stressful than actually devising a costume and getting them ready in the morning!)

This was good to read after reading all 3 of the Good Girl books first. Pip and friends are at a murder mystery party - this leads Pip to the idea of investigating a real murder for her senior project (the first Good Girl book) - It was interesting to read a story about Pip's closest friends knowing how it all turned out for everyone - I thought this was a good book to end the series on. I'm glad I read it that way!
Make a great day everyone🙂

PaperbackPirate It sounds like you liked it a lot more than me! I think I liked #2 and #3 more than you. It‘s funny how we all bring something different to what we read. 😁 2mo

This treasure was buried among the free books on my Kindle. It was a hard read, and really makes you think about the people who left home to find a better life that we celebrate on Thanksgiving and those that we refuse to help. This short book by Ousman Umar describes his journey from Ghana to Spain between the ages of about 13-17. We should all read this book.

Librarybelle I think I will be reading for these challenges for years to come! 4mo
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle I‘m getting close on Asia, but it will still probably go into next year. 4mo
BarbaraBB Kudos for almost finishing Africa!! 4mo
ChaoticMissAdventures This sounds so good, and Thanksgiving is the perfect time for hard immigrant stories. 4mo

Compré este libro por la serie Eternal Love. Ten peach of peach blossoms. Amé la historia en la serie.
La novela de Tang Qi está contada en primera persona y solo desde la visión de su protagonista, Bai Qian, por lo que sucede con los demás personajes no lo podemos saber. Aun así, es una historia muy linda, aunque admito que conocer la versión televisada ayuda bastante a comprender la historia y sufrir con Bai Qian. 😍

I liked this, but there were bits that make it a so-so for me.
Ved is a gay man in India, where it is illegal to be gay. He is pressured into an engagement just as he meets Carlos, who makes him feel happy again.

There was a lot of cheating, and guilt, and hypocrisy which is what knocked it down for me!

This was my #BookSpin and a goal for #20in4

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 6mo
Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 6mo

A story of two young women whose lives intersect during the years after WWII in Palestine. One a survivor of Dachau and a refugee in Palestine fighting for a place to call home, the other an Arab nurse trainee working in a hospital who serves both Arabs and Jews and wants to be an example of peace. I appreciated this look at the history but felt like all the emotions (fear, rage, love, loneliness) should have grabbed me but didn‘t. A low pick.

I only really enjoyed 2 of the short stories. I'm happy to finally get this off my Kindle though! I got it for free through Amazon Crossings several years ago.

This is a prequel novella to A Good Girl‘s Guide to Murder. If I had read this one first, I PROBABLY would NOT have gone in to read the first book in the series.

The premise of the story is that a group of friends are playing a murder mystery game. While I understand it is a YA book, and a novella I felt that the plot was just not fully there. It was just about teens playing a game.

TheSpineView Bummer! Hopefully the next book you read is better! 6mo
MissyD @TheSpineView I almost DNF it. But it was only 126 pages. So I just kept reading. I liked the book that followed this one. And I started Holly by Stephen king today 6mo
