little #library haul. “Can‘t spell Tea without Treason” fulfills my libraries and the r/fantasy‘s bingo square for “Cozy”. The Burning God fulfills another bingo square. #
June‘s #bookspin I‘m keeping it more simple as I prepare to move. 1-10 and repeat the same books for 11-20. I may lean towards more audio than usual while I‘m packing. I hope I have time for all 3 of my book club books and one for #authoramonth, we‘ll see!
Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈
pickThis was a fun little read. This is a fairy tale retelling of Sleeping Beauty. What if the fairy gifts weren‘t to protect the Princess, but to protect others *from* the Princess? It really is a charming little novella. Give it a go!
I can‘t believe it‘s time for May‘s #bookspin list already! Where has the year gone?
Here is yet another “slice of my bookshelves”, plus a few options for my topic bookclub: May‘s topic is a book with a map. And Advice for Future Corpses is for another bookclub.
What will @TheAromaofBooks choose for us this time?
so-soThe princess is cursed to die by a spindle, she is stolen away & raised as ordinary. But her fairy gifts cause problems, & there is still the curse to worry about.
The scene setting is unparalleled, as I expected from McKinley, but lord the plot is glacial. I think I would have enjoyed this better as an audiobook as the writing is lush & lyrical. & I wasn‘t invested in the romance. I kept thinking Rosie & Peony should get together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Low pick for me. I have liked other books by Donnelly quite a bit and was a little disappointed in the writing style. I LOVE Beauty and the Beast and retellings- so was a excited to read a gender swapped version. I also liked the premise. I just was not pulled in and found it to be a little boring. It could also be just the timing…
I‘m continuing my 2025 #bookspin “slices of my bookshelves” journey with yellow and green spines on my paperback and hardcover fiction shelves and just 2 greenish nonfiction. What will @TheAromaofBooks pull for our April numbers?
I will definitely be reading The Bees for my bookclub.
