Shadow of What Was Lost | James Islington

#April #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Yesterday was tough, my sister got into a car accident. She is doing okay & luckily no one else was hurt. Did pretty well in April!!! but tagged is holding me back a bit. Managed to get to chapter 34. Hopefully can push through it in May. Very much a tell not show dense writing style & there is an abundance of information.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress for the month and glad your sister is okay!! 1mo

The Knight and the Butcherbird | Alix E Harrow

@CBee #April #ReadYourKindle #ReadYourEbook

I could not get into the tagged book. DNF for me even though very short.

20 - Started out very promising but enemies to lovers fizzled quickly. The “tension“ felt swept under the rug but atmospherically was fantastic.

4 - Hurt to mark that low since I devoured the first in the series. Excruciatingly slow, then nonstop last 10%. FMC still pissing me off but Blakes development 😍!!!!

Aconight Forgot to mention! Can‘t read 13 until I finished the Legends of Thezmarr series. 1mo

Twenty Poems | Anna Andreevena Akhmatova

#NationalPoetryMonth #April #day18 #water #AprilPoetryChallenge
These poems were translated by Jane Kenyon with Vera Sandomirsky Dunham in 1985. They are included in her book, Collected Poems, which is how I was introduced to this Russian poet.

BooksandCoffee4Me Ah, someone else who knows and appreciates Akhmatova‘s poetry! Last year when I was teaching adult Ed English language learners, one of my students from Russia read one of Akhmatova‘s poems with me for the class, I reading in English and he reading stanzas then in Russian. 2mo

quietlycuriouskate @BooksandCoffee4Me I am haunted by the one with the line about the miraculous being so close to the ruined houses. 2mo

wanderinglynn Love! And thank you for introducing me to a new (to me) poet. 1mo
