A group of deck hands come together to hear and tell stories about Luke Skywalker.

I really enjoyed this, I liked the look at how stories can be exaggerated and manipulated for whatever reason. That they can be changed in the retellings.

I really enjoyed this and I don't usually like romance books. I think the academic setting made the difference.

It was well written and paced with interesting characters. Yes, it's a bit predictable and tropey but it worked.

Glad I finally got around to finishing this. I've stopped and started it multiple times. I think this was on my #shelfofshame

This had one of the most unlikable main characters I've ever read. She's arrogant, self centered, reckless which teenager I get but not when your entire community is on red alert because of a possible killer.

The plot and pacing weren't great, there was a lot of focus on the ex/new romance and not enough about the killer actively trying to murder them.

I laughed when I saw my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin selections for this month! Both are books that I was supposed to read in prior months, and didn‘t.

Pat of Silver Bush was last month‘s choice for #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead and this month‘s choice, Mistress Pat, builds on that story.

julieclair The Murmur of Bees was my #ShelfofShame selection for this month. It was my final book of #LMPBC Round 14 (!), and I was supposed to have mailed it back to @sprainedbrain at the end of JUNE. 🙄 2y
julieclair I think the reading gods are sending me a message, lol. ⚡️📚⚡️ 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Good luck!! 😂 2y

Thanks for the tag @EadieB !

1. So-So. I‘m behind on my GR challenge to read 200 books. I‘m only at 95, so I‘m 6 books behind. I‘m completely slacking on #ShelfofShame, doing good at #pop22 and doing okay at #NoShameReadathon and okay at #Booked2022

2. The #ShelfofShame is to read books I already own. Supposed to read 12, haven‘t read 1 😬. But I have been reading my own books not on that list.

#Two4Tuesday

TheSpineView At least you are working on already owned. Better than me for sure! Thanks for playing! 2y
EadieB You're welcome! Thanks for playing! 2y

The Crow Girl | Erik Axl Sund

Fashionably late (as is usually the case) to this party… this behemoth has been on my shelves for 6 years!

The Crow Girl was actually published as 3 separate books in Sweden, which helps explain the crazy ups and downs throughout. It‘s very dark (if you have any triggers, avoid it), disturbing, and brutal, though the worst is mercifully left to our imaginations. Twisty with two excellent female MCs (written by 2 men!). Good stuff!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lizpixie This one has been sitting on my #shelfofshame for about the same amount of years. I got about halfway before it overwhelmed me & I dnf‘d it for later. Apparently much later! 2y
sprainedbrain @Lizpixie it is a LOT!! 2y

This series has run it's course for me. I didn't enjoy this one as much as others, the mystery was a bit dull and Daisy was very annoying ... More annoying than usual

One of my #shelfofshame books because I swear I've read the first 3 chapters multiple times and then stopped reading

Blood Bound is on my #shelfofshame My friend recommended it to me as she loves the series but I get a few chapters in, put it down and forget about it. I'll try to read it and if I don't like it then there is a book swap March 20th

The End of Mr Y I have no idea when I got this book, why I got this book or what it is about ... fun!

I have Beautiful Mystery from February to read as well.

wanderinglynn I too love the Mercy Thompson series! Have you read the 1st book? Blood Bound is no. 2. If you haven‘t, then I‘d recommend starting with it – 2y
PuddleJumper @wanderinglynn It looks like I have read it but no idea when and I don't remember much of it. i didn't rate it highly so I wonder if my friend got my Blood Bound because the series gets better 2y
Bookworm54 I love the Mercy Thompson series! And I also really enjoyed The End of Mr Y though prepare yourself for some major weirdness! 🤣 2y
PuddleJumper @Bookworm54 I think sometimes paranormal mystery/romance books just annoy me and then other times I really like them. Oh fun, weirdness can be interesting! 2y
