My April #bookspin list! I‘m partway into 1984, but I‘m trying not to rush through it, so I doubt I‘ll finish before the end of the month. So far, it‘s been an excellent reading year…I can‘t wait to see what you pick, Sarah!

Up next! So this author‘s college roommate is a friend of mine, so it‘s been on my radar for a bit. A favorite IG book blogger pushed it up the list! Most of my favorite romance authors have disappointed the past year or two. Hoping for one that I love. ❤️

GinaKButler I just found my new auto-buy romance author! All the stars…and bonus points b/c the main character‘s daughter is named Marin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5d

Finally finished my Q1 #chunksterchallenge2025 this morning. I admit that I didn‘t love this one as much as some other chunky biographies that I‘ve read. It‘s incredibly detailed, I only wish that the maps were just as detailed…it was difficult to imagine some of the battles. I‘m glad that I picked this one up…and the spine is beautiful on my shelves! Thanks for hosting, @Amiable #bookspinbingo

TheBookHippie I have this one. Haven‘t read it yet and I love your shelf! So many pretties. 2w
Amiable It does like good nestled into that row of chunksters! 2w
