My #bookspin for May @TheAromaofBooks

AmyG She has become a favorite. One great book after another. 6d
JenReadsAlot @AmyG This is the only one I've read by her so far. 6d
BkClubCare Heft was so good! (Theory that the first one you read by a favorite author will always be a favorite 😂) Enjoy the entire oeuvre 6d
AmyG I so agree with the first one you read. Works for me with music, too. @BkClubCare (edited) 6d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5d

Another novel is the series with Bennie Rosato and her associates. My favorite character has always been Mary DiNunzio. Mary becomes immersed into the cases with her clients because she relates to them and they really love this about her. This novel involves the mob & the story line kept me reading. 4/5⭐️

Thanks @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

TheSpineView You must have an audio and physical book going at the same time. I do that. Do you find you get absorbed in one and get to the second? Thanks for playing 1w

I really liked Beautyland and the Book Riot podcast folks love this one, so I figured I‘d give it a try. I made it almost halfway through but I just don‘t care. It isn‘t grabbing me at all. So, on to the next.

This historical novel was a beautiful story of love amid the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. The characters were all very much alive in my mind. This story will remain in my memories. It was well written and certainly worth the time I spent with it. 4.5/5⭐️

PROMPT: BRIGHT

The reader will  learn about The Spanish Flu and its devastation of the population around the world.  If you are like me, you will do research of your own about the Spanish Flu.

Ms. Meissner has written another touching book that teaches us some history as well as teaches us about the goodness of mankind and its generosity in times of a crisis.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This one was heartbreaking 💔 3mo
marleed I thought it particularly interesting since it was published prior to Covid-19. I think it would be hard to write that same novel today and not interject some of the mistakes from the later pandemic. 3mo
Eggs A great choice 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo
SilversReviews @Eggs Thanks. 3mo

My Broken Language: A Memoir | Quiara Alegria Hudes

January is the time I use for catching up on missed books over the previous year(s). There are fewer new/shiny books distracting me from my tbr, so I‘m able to plow through it quicker! This memoir has high praise and has been on my radar for years. It‘s about family and identity, coming into one‘s own and the way language plays a part in all of these aspects of life. Quiara narrates her own story to add to the experience.

Soubhiville I loved this one! 3mo
squirrelbrain I‘ve had this bookmarked on Everand for a loooong time! 3mo

Once again, I‘m the #UnpopularOpinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had a difficult time connecting with Mary from the start & considered DNF early on but, kept on despite my reservations. However, after 58% I just could not do it anymore. The situation with Ned was beyond my threshold of ridiculousness🤦🏻‍♀️😂🙄.

I won‘t be carrying on with this series & it‘s also been removed from my tbr👋🏻

PuddleJumper On to better books! 4mo
