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.

ChaoticMissAdventures I thought The Third Gilmore was so well done, well written and I loved that Kelly Bishop reads the audio. 2mo
DieAReader @ChaoticMissAdventures 💯% I 💖loved it!! 2mo

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

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looking great!! And those bingos can be astoundingly allusive! 😂 5mo

So I Am Glad: A Novel | A. L. Kennedy
post image

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

squirrelbrain Yes, I saw Vanishing Treasures on a WP list too. 6mo
Ruthiella I‘m also often curious about books that elicit such strong reactions! 😅 6mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain I am curious if it qualifies, but then the rules for NF are hard to pin down (I feel) I don't see anything against essay collections. 6mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella I need to know what all the fuss is!! I often read these much hated and sort of shrug they are usually "not that bad" to me. 6mo

#12booksof2024 @Andrew65
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.

Andrew65 I really need to read these. I cannot recommend the Ian Rankin books highly enough. 7mo

#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

Andrew65 Looks a good read. 7mo

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.

Tamra I am anxious to find out whether you end liking it. If so, I‘ll stack! 8mo
BarbaraBB Looking good! 8mo
Cathythoughts @Tamra 🤞🏻 the writing is good. 8mo
