3✨ Trigger warnings for suicide, which may be obvious from a description of this book. Leigh‘s mother dies from suicide and she is sure she turned into a bird. This bird leads her to see her maternal grandparents in Taiwan that she has never met. The story is about family, memories, and a little of Taiwanese culture about spirits. I struggled with understanding the colors as feelings throughout. Read for #YABuddyRead @megnews

Dear #MGBuddyRead & #YABuddyRead -ers, I need to take a break and put these buddyreads on pause, at least for the summer. I started a new job recently, my daughter is home for the summer, life has some complications right now, & I‘m having trouble settling in with books. I just announced June‘s reads but I have decided I have to back out. I also cannot seem to concentrate on this month‘s #YABuddyRead to enable discussion this weekend. If 👇🏻

megnews Someone else is interested in leading this buddy read, feel free to jump in. I just really need a break right now. Sorry to do this to all the amazing people I love discussing books with! 2y

mrp27 No worries! I enjoy the buddy reads but understandable to take a break. 2y
BarbaraJean Aw… totally understand! Thank you for all the work you‘ve put into these buddy reads. 💜 Hope you‘re able to find some space for rest and that you can settle into and enjoy some books that work for you right now. 2y
Butterfinger I feel like I have let you down. I can do June. I was so tickled because I found an audio for all three books. 2y
Roary47 No worries at all! I hope that everything works out to the very best outcomes, and work life can settle once again for you. 💛 2y
erzascarletbookgasm All the best in your new job, and I hope things work out just fine for you. Thanks for doing this. Have a good break. 2y
megnews @Butterfinger you haven‘t let me down. I just couldn‘t keep up. Didn‘t feel I was doing it justice. If you‘d like to lead June feel free! 😊 2y

#BookSpin list for May!

My list includes picks for #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead, #YABuddyRead, #MGBuddyRead, and several potential reads for the #MiddleGradeMay readathon. And of course the usual suspects that have been on the list for several months. 😆

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! I think we're all going to enjoy Jane more than we did Kilmeny! 😂 2y
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Haha! I haven‘t read Jane before but from what I‘ve seen, I think your prediction will turn out to be completely accurate! 2y
TheAromaofBooks It's been a long time since I've read it, but it was one of my favorites growing up. I'm really excited about the reread. 2y

4✨ I read this in almost one sitting. It was a really cute rom-com set at Christmas time. Most of the time we are at a book store which I completely enjoyed. There was quite a bit of characters, working in different locations as well that was hard at first to keep track of. Other than that I just smiled through the whole read. Read for #YABuddyRead @megnews

megnews Hi! I‘m sorry I missed posting questions for this this month. My work schedule has been hectic. 2y
Roary47 @megnews no worries! It was a fun read and I feel you on hectic with work. I hope your schedule stabilizes and you are able to rest. 💛 2y

Enemies to lovers is not my jam. Saving Grace: set in a bookstore. This would be a nice pick for Christmas/Hanukkah.

Butterfinger It is my favorite trope. 2y
mrp27 I feel the same about this one. I screwed up the months and read this in February for the buddy read. 2y

Forgot to post my review! I enjoyed this modern, urban retelling of Pride and Prejudice and I thought the author really captured the essence of Brooklyn. This was a pretty quick read so don‘t go into it with high hopes of deeply fleshed out characters as they were pretty one dimensional.

4✨Okay unpopular opinion: I don‘t like Pride and Prejudice. However, this book was awesome! Cultural differences are discussed and worked through. Romance is spot on what you would expect and the characters are much more enjoyable to me then the original it is trying to reflect. Read for #YABuddyRead @megnews

DinoMom I share the same unpopular opinion as you. 😉 2y
Roary47 @DinoMom I‘m so glad I‘m not alone! 💛 2y
