bailedThis was potentially a bad entrance into Sanderson's work, but I absolutely could not work with the humour in it. It was just a constant unfunny wink wink nudge nudge from the narrator that boiled down to either 'keep up dear' or 'well that just happened'. This is the kind of book I'd read to a kid if I had one, not one I'd read by myself. Evidently, as I gave up about 100 pages in.
My sweet little reading buddy tonight 🐾
pickRealized I never posted my review of Tress! Such a great book!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.
#ABookADay2025
so-soIt has some interesting material on the society created in a part of Madagascar by European pirates and Malagasy natives. The local population had a lot of mixture of which the pirates were the latest. However, it suffers from a lack of sources and flaws within them. However it reads like an incomplete essay and relies on a great deal of surmise. The author sets out a proposition which he is ultimately unable to sustain.
Looks like this is my #bookspin choice for the month! Which is timely: if I leave it much longer before I get round to reading this, I'll have forgotten everything about the first book.
In setting up my list, I included a couple of books I already read in February/am partway through, since I'm thinking I'll set up a #bookspinbingo card too. Just need to try not to become obsessive about it, either in creating it or trying to stick to it. 😅
#ReadYourKindle list for February 2024
Can‘t wait to see what numbers are selected to read for next month!
My goal again is to read one from the list.
