How to Catch a Loveosaurus | Alice Walstead

February #BookSpin / #BookSpinBingo / #ReadYourKindle ♥️ Two Can Play was my “Someplace Cold” #FictionalTraveler pick and my “book where the setting is cold/icy” for #TBRTarot. I ended up DNFing ACOTAR for #LittensLoveRomance 🫣 But I might try it again at some point. Maybe romantasy just isn‘t my thing. #LitsyAtoZ More on Hell Followed With Us in the next post. It was also my favorite for February.

Gissy I like your reading journal😍so pretty👌 20h

MatchlessMarie @Gissy Thank you! I‘m a lefty so I try to counter my chicken scratch with stickers 🤭 20h

This one was not for me.
I found it very unbelievable, tedious, dull and repetitive.

Mexican Gothic | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

so-so

I was disappointed with this one, it felt a little messy. Also, I chose it as my choice for this month‘s #FictionalTraveler, #SpanishSpeaking, but being set in a rambling old Manor House owned by an English family, there was little sense of place.

@julieclair

TheBookgeekFrau I'm currently reading this, less than 100 pages to go. I was really enjoying it up to the "big explanation"?? But Francis is building my hopes for a good ending ???? 3d

Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm halfway through, and on the fence about continuing... 3d

julieclair Good review. This one has been on my TBR for awhile, but after reading all the comments, I may just decide to give it a pass. 3d

TheEllieMo @julieclair I always worry of someone decides to not read something I didn‘t like, because we‘re all different and you might love it! I love gothic novels but I do like them to have an edge of reality to them, this one felt a bit far-fetched to me personally. 20h

TheEllieMo @TheBookgeekFrau irrespective of what may or may not happen in the last 100 pages, Francis is definitely the most likeable character, more so even than Noemí, who came across as rather too arrogant for my liking! 20h

julieclair @TheEllieMo I worry about the same thing when I write a review. On the other hand, reviews are so helpful in deciding how to prioritize our never-ending TBRs. 😘 17h

For Fictional Traveler I'm heading to England with Wodehouse, and my ReadorDonate pick is by Nora Roberts - Carolina Moon. I'm excited!!! 4d

When the Tides Held the Moon | Venessa Vida Kelley

pick

I love when a book surprises you in the best way. This was wonderful story of finding family in an unexpected place and finding love with the impossible. There author did a great job of using a historical setting to add emphasis to the story. Also, the illustrations throughout were beautiful (drawn by the author).

This is my first book by this author and I wasn‘t sure what to expect, but the creepiness was off the charts. It was a slow burn at the beginning but then it took a really dark turn!
