i‘m a month late with this and so very sorry- it has been an awful time with crazy brain fog and i‘m not sure what‘s going on- but I liked the book, although it was also frustrating. the title character just made me sad. and although i know it‘s not a happy story it was dark for me. it was mailed and should arrive tomorrow.

Deblovestoread Hope the fog clears and things are better soon! It is hard to function under those conditions. Wishing you comfort and healing. 6d

I genuinely enjoyed this book so much! I‘m surprised my Grandma did not read or recommend her when I was younger - this is an author we would both enjoy so much. The characters were great- the mystery was a reminder of how tricky people have always been. I want to read more by this author and called my son at college to tell him he needs to read it when he gets home. #goldenageofcrime

This book was not what I expected- in a good way. I did enjoy the characters, especially Ahmed- and the overall story arc- I do think it could have been a little shorter and perhaps more emphasis on different parts of the story- but that might reflect my interest in characters more than the story itself. Going in the mail today #lmpbc

This was a very character driven story- but some of it was a little “off” for me. I think there are things that I do not find funny that maybe a lot of people do? Or maybe the humor does not age well. But I would not consider this family charming- although to be honest I did like the mom a lot just not the authors way of describing her. I will leave it there. Thank you Julie for my beautiful bookmark❤️#lmpbc

TheAromaofBooks I think we all had some mixed feelings on this one 😂 An odd little book! 2mo

I loved this book! I love folk tales, magical realism and Neil Gaiman. So glad it was an #lmpbc pick. It should be in mail by Wed at the latest. But hopefully I will be early and able to stop at post office Monday (full disclosure though this is highly unlikely since I really struggle with being on time)

KathyWheeler I never did know if the humor in Good Omens was from Gaiman or Pratchett or both because the only other Gaiman I‘d read was American Gods. Then I read this and learned he could be funny on his own. 😊 3mo

1. It completely depends on the book for me. But sometimes I really appreciate a good epilogue.
2. I love pictures. I wish there were more. And I love maps. And I love interactive features.
3. I think my recliners- both indoor and my outdoor chairs that recline, or a comfy rocking chair.

This was recommended from my #auldlangspine match @DGRachel - but I‘m very hit or miss with romance. I‘m not sure if it was timing, or just me but I did not really love this. I know many people do- because it only came last week from digital library wait list.

DGRachel I‘m sorry this one was a miss for you. I‘m picky about romance, too. I have my favorite authors and it‘s tough for me to try new ones because so many of them, even super popular authors, just don‘t work for me. 3mo
Vansa Sarah MacLean, in my opinion, has not written a good book after Nine rules to break! All the others are just...so mediocre 3mo

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

This was the #goldenageofcrime buddy read hosted by @Mitch for Feb. it was a solid mystery- but definitely problematic in terms of anti Semitic views and racial slurs. It was difficult to overlook, but as an adult reading it also kept thinking this is why Desantis in Florida is evil.

Crazeedi I keep meaning to read this author, I'm not sure which one to pick up first. I haven't read a book since December, but I somehow need to get into one that's keeps me engaged. 3mo
Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi it was ok- but not a favorite. What are some of your favorite mysteries? 3mo

Reading this poetry book felt like a powerful and emotional experience in understanding some of the trauma and resilience experienced through immigration. Other layers include generational trauma and feminist trauma. I loved every second of it and am sorry this round went sideways! Adina your notes were a perfect complement to this experience- thank you so much! All three books will be mailed today.

Chrissyreadit @IndoorDame if you have other books you recommend I would love to hear them. If you ever want to do an poetry read with my crazy self also - I really loved reading “along” with you. 3mo
IndoorDame @Chrissyreadit I‘m glad this one spoke to you! I‘d love to do a poetry read with you sometime! I‘m in the middle of a deep dive into some classics at the moment, but I‘ll give you a shout when I pick up something more approachable and you can let me know if you‘re interested in it! 3mo

IndoorDame @Chrissyreadit Anne Carson has a wonderful translation of Sappho that I read last year that I‘d definitely recommend! Classics- currently reading Sarah Teasdale, spent the last few months reading Leaves of Grass, about to start a comparison of the traditional Emily Dickinson with a version Christine Miller put out a few years ago transcribed directly from her manuscripts and (wording not edited posthumously). Contemporary- Atlantis by Mark Doty 3mo

I‘m wondering how Scribd compares to kindle unlimited? Can any of you offer thoughts?

Bookwormjillk If you‘re using it for ebooks make sure you can open them on your kindle. I think you need a Fire tablet to open them from the app. I used it for audiobooks for about a year, but then they started having technical issues and the price went up. Maybe it‘s gotten better since then? I left last November. 4mo
rwmg I like Scribd. I've never used Kindle Unlimited because it used to be (no idea if this is still true) very limited if you live outside the US or UK. Some books you have to read with an active internet connnection, some you can download. I read it on my Samsung Tab. 4mo

The Murder at the Vicarage | Agatha Christie

Yes I loved this mystery! And I actually have never read Agatha Christie before- (except And Then There Were None) but this was charming, similar to a cozy, humor and intrigue. Another example that English villages are rather deadly places- so glad this was picked for the #goldenagecrimeclub kickoff

Mitch Glad you enjoyed it Chrissy. Be sure to follow #goldenagecrimeclub and see what others thought of Miss Marple! 4mo
KathyWheeler Have you read Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village? It plays on this trope murders in English villages. It was funny, and is very short. I failed all the quizzes. 😄 (edited) 4mo
Chrissyreadit @KathyWheeler have not but it‘s on my ridiculously sized TBR 4mo

This was a fascinating book to read- but it also was challenging. As a vegan - who stated out as vegetarian 33 years ago due to climate change concerns and now recognize animal sentience and human greed as an incompatible struggle- parts of this book literally had me crying. Both over human ignorance and animal intelligence. I do highly recommend it to read and suspect everyone took something different away from it. #naturalitsy

Elena77 I am also vegan, and this is on my tbr list, thank you for your review 😊 4mo
Chrissyreadit @Elena77 I hope you will let me know what you think when you read it. 4mo
persephone1408 @Chrissyreadit as a person whom cried because my town used a polar bear to decorate for Christmas...I probably shouldn't. It just makes me so mad. 4mo

AllDebooks Poignant review. I struggled with this side of it too, although not vegetarian, I abhor animal cruelty and experiments. X 4mo
TheBookHippie I am so glad we read this for #naturalitsy ! I would have NEVER known about it! @alldebooks 4mo
jitteryjane724 As someone who is hoping to go mostly veg (outside of certain family/cultural events) once I move soon, I just added this book to my stack and I'm very excited! 4mo

The Duchess War | Courtney Milan

A little more seriousness to the topic of romance with a Duke, a headstrong genteel girl of questionable origin, friendship and social issues. Fast, and while there are things about the trope I both expect and get irritated by have no regrets that this was my #auldlangspine pick - #2 on your list @DGRachel and easily available via Libby. I‘m reading Blackwaterfalls also but only a couple chapters in and won‘t finish this month.

DGRachel Yay! I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 4mo
