Quite enjoying this weird #newadult #aussie #twisty time travelling thing. Not far enough in to know if it‘s romance. But it does have #lgbt characters. And it‘s funny and depressing but hopeful. Living in small Australian centres is a whole thing, trust me. #currentlyreading

Books I daydream about finding while browsing in thrift shops…

😳 $103.53 and postage isn‘t even included 😨

Lyssa131330 Mine is the hardbacks of the Tomorrow when the war began series (apparently they are collectors editions but I just want my shelf to look pretty lol) 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lyssa131330, the desire for a complete matching set is strong! Are you close? 3y
Lyssa131330 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Only two to go! (The most expensive ones but still lol) 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lyssa131330 maybe you‘ll find them in an op shop!? 🤞🏼!! I‘m five books away from completing my Teen Power Inc collection. It‘ll take a miracle because the original print run must have been small (the books earlier in the series are much easier to find) 3y
Lyssa131330 🤞for both of us lol 3y

April | Gabrielle Lord

April 2021 wrap up:
11 books including: #BookSpin #DoubleSpin with a bingo
#Fairytalereadingchallenge #Readingwithmaja
#Aussie and some books from previous readathons were read late. I just want to finish books selected in those activities to reduce my old tbr list.
Some books were not my favorites but not reject here. They were books I wanted to read but I discovered that they didn‘t work for me.
@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fabulous month!! 4y

Gravity Is the Thing | Jaclyn Moriarty

Mehso-so

Last chapters were finished today at dawn so it will be in my April stats. I have an uncommon opinion about this book. It didn‘t work for me but in general, it has good reviews in GR. This is the story of Abi who is facing many situations in her life including the grief of her brother‘s disappearance. Then she attended a peculiar self help group. It was so long with irrelevant details😬past and present were not well integrated. 2.5⭐️I almost Dnf

The Dry | Jane Harper

Pickpick

Falk received a letter informing him that his friend died with a remark: “Luke lied, you lied. Be at the funeral”. After 20 years, he will visit his hometown which is facing the worst drought ever. During his visit, Falk will discovered some secrets about his past and Luke‘s death.
Short. Fast reading. Many twists. I thought that I knew some twists coming, in some of them, I was very wrong which I loved it more👍 Ready for BK2. 4⭐️

Gissy #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks
#Aussie (YouTube) books by Australian authors. Jane Harper is considered British/Australian author.
#ShutdownRound3 @DieAReader

I read the book with the audio and it was fantastic because the narrator had Australian accent and for me was more pertinent. It was like be there interacting with persons from this country. Love this author‘s writing. I‘m so thrilled to read

Gissy @TheAromaofBooks It was!!!🤗I think second book will be in next month bingo card. 4y
TheAromaofBooks It was good, too, although I didn't like it quite as well. But just like she did in The Dry, Harper manages to make the weather its own malevolent character. 4y
WanderingBookaneer Me encantan todos los libros de Jane Harper. Chequéate los libros de Dervla McTiernan (edited) 4y
Gissy @WanderingBookaneer Voy a verificar, gracias por la recomendación. 4y

Truly Madly Guilty | Liane Moriarty
Pickpick

If you know this author, you know that this will be a family/friends drama where a mystery/suspicious act occur in a neighborhood and that the outcome will impact everyone. In this story, something happened in a barbecue day that “all of them got something to feel bad about that afternoon”. A lot of secrets. It was ok, I enjoy this author‘s mysteries but they are more drama than anything. Vid is a peculiar character. Slow pace reading. 3/3.4⭐️

BiblioLitten This was a strange read for me. I was disappointed by the story, the buildup for nothing but the details of the plot were quite vivid. I still remember most of the details even though I read it a few years back. 4y

Chrissyreadit I tend to like her books because I can just sit back, enjoy and not think too much. 4y
Gissy @Chrissyreadit Yes, me too. I forgot to tell you that the YouTuber who discussed the book: When No One is Watching, rated the book with 5 stars. 4y
Gissy @BiblioLitten It happens, I just enjoyed the drama but it is an ok book in general, so I can understand that some people don‘t like it. But there is always a book out there for every taste📚📚📚🤗. That‘s what I love about Litsy, to share opinions and explore more genres. Excuses to buy more books📚📚📚📚🤣 4y
BiblioLitten @Gissy That‘s so true. I wouldn‘t have discovered so many amazing reads otherwise. 💙 4y

April Fool's Day | Bryce Courtenay

April tbr and I‘m going to read all of them (April fool‘s Day)🤣I‘m still reading books that meet prompts from past readathons. My objective is to read more books. I‘m choosing few books that have been with me for a long time.

This month I‘ll participate in #Aussie =books by Australian authors. If you know a book related date/event in your country, let me know so I can read at least 2 books by authors from that country.

DaveGreen7777 Someone on Litsy actually reading everything on their TBR list? Best April Fool‘s Day joke ever! 😁😂 4y
