L to R: Libby, Kobo, 📖Physical & 🎧Audible
There‘s been lots of major cleaning & very little reading taking place this week but, that being said, I have these open books for any downtime & 🎧some tasks.
The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!
That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book
A very blue library haul. I cannot for the life of me remember who or what had me request the tagged book! But I guess we will see how it goes.
Everyone seems to hate Extinction of Irena Rey so I thought I would give it a try 😂 I feel I enjoyed her last book more than others and I love to be a contrarian
I read about Vanishing Treasures in my research for possible Women's Prize nonfiction books. Not sure if essays count there

March saw me finishing the very good Laidlaw trilogy. Laidlaw is a curious detective who makes few friends within the Glasgow police force where he works. I am curious to read the Ian Rankin book in which he reimagines Laidlaws early days.
#12booksof2024 @andrew65 February and I picked up a book I had left unread in my huge tbr pie in anticipation of seeing the film adaptation. I'm still not sure why I didn't read it sooner as it was a brilliant piece of gothic comic writing that far surpassed the movie, albeit they made a good attempt. I then bought Lanark, so I plan to get to it in 2025
Just sitting back and starting this one. The MC ( or what I think might be the main c ) is a serious over-thinker… interesting psychological profile 🤞🏻set in France , Saint-Louis. Someone is going to disappear from mc‘s local restaurant .. I think I could love this.
pickI haven‘t seen the movie (& don‘t plan on it tbh) but this was fun— unreliable, framed, epistolary narratives make me happy, as do the illustrations. Recommended for general weirdness & ✨vibes✨
📸featuring my fave new creepy snow globe— is it tiny bats w/ a normal-sized crow or normal-sized bats w/ a giant crow boy? You decide 🪦💀💗
bailedMuch to my disappointment, I‘m not enjoying this at all. I can see how it would be funny, but it‘s not working for me. Anyway, I wanted creepy, not funny.
