Spinners | Donna Jo Napoli, Richard Tchen

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.

AmyG Omg…it‘s almost April already. What? 2h

He asks, “Where to, Princess?”
“The stars.”

This was such a cute read. It was such a comfy read. It had me giggling and laughing throughout the whole story. It had a lot of heart to it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sace Might I recommend a Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking?

MaleficentBookDragon @Sace oh that sounds fun! 7d

Sace It is a good one. I‘ve read it twice! I have Minor Mage on my TBR as well.

Minor Mage

Sace Oh! And Bryony and Roses is one I read for #LMPBC years and years ago. It was a good read as well.

Clara, Axel, and Hennie head into The Forest Grimm to find their lost villagers and a missing grimoire. They find much more. Some of the villagers have become fairy tale archetypes like Cinderella and Rapunzel. I like that Clara had a disability (scoliosis), yet still manages to achieve her goals. However, the reader is beat over the head about her back issues with every tumble she takes. The romance was sweet and of a PG13 variety. 4 stars.

I‘m pretty sure I read this as a teen but I just can‘t get into it now - I hate the writing style. Accepting that it‘s a BAIL because it‘s been more than a month since I picked it up. (I ended up reading a short story to meet the prompt instead) #fairytalereadingchallenge : January: Snow White & Rose Red

Ruthiella Some childhood stuff holds up and some doesn‘t, unfortunately. 3w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Ruthiella, I‘m a lot less tolerant of bad men characters now - straight in the bin. 3w

I will only say the ending was a touch anticlimactic but otherwise it was a good read. Very creative and enjoyable I liked this take on the sleeping beauty story. First book I've finished in a while, I feel proud of myself even if it was just a novella.
