For me summer reading officially starts June 1st. #summerreading #bookspinbingo

Let summer begin!😎🍉🌻 And by summer I mean reading on my deck. 📚🌴I want to make the most of these beautiful summer days by getting out here earlier and more often. It was a rough winter. We set the snowfall record for the whole country I believe. Time to enjoy warm sunny days.

Not really loving the tagged book tho.

A recent read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s #generations #MayMontage

#InvolvesaWedding #MayMontage

This is high up on my #TBR but keeps getting passed over. #ScienceRelated #MayMontage

I picked this as a #DiscussionBook because I didn‘t like it and it seems everyone else in the world did. I felt I wasn‘t smart enough to follow. I kept trying to figure out the half death. Maybe it was in there but I heard the author say he added the half to differentiate the book from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. #MayMontage

This one is easy.
Never in bed, too uncomfortable.
Don‘t have a pet.
Prefer pj‘s
Every other answer is BOTH. 😊
#readinghabits

This is not on my #TBR but maybe it should be. #SunglassesOnCover #MayMontage

Four high powered players in the Wall Street finance world compete in an escape room challenge. #TBR #FinanceRelated #MayMontage

Coming at the end of May! #PublishedinMay #MayMontage

Saw the musical last night. So good! I love Tudor history so this was fun.

Auto buy author for me! #AuthorHas3Names #MayMontage

I can already see a BINGO in my future! #BookSpinBingo

#YellowCover #MayMontage

I almost skipped this month. I loved No Exit but only liked Hairpin Bridge. But I decided to give this one a try. #BOTM #TBR

#AprilRecap :
Nine! Huge for me

BINGO! Woo-hoo! First time in a long time, it helps when #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin are in the same row.

#covertrend with a twist. A guy with the reflective glasses.

Here‘s all my independent bookstore purchases for the month. An online order from Parnassus in Nashville (after listening to the most recent Indie Press List from the Currently Reading podcast ) and in person shopping at Politics and Prose in Washington DC, and Talking Leaves Books here at home in Buffalo NY. I celebrated Indie Bookstore day all month!

#independentbookstoreday Limited myself to one since I‘ve done a lot of Indy bookstore purchasing this month. #TBR #minibookhaul

Two down in my quest to read the Fiona Davis books along with a nonfiction book about the featured building.

Ready for MAY! #BookSpinBingo

Quick trip to DC for a wedding so of course I had to visit a bookstore. #independentbookstores #TBR #bookhaul #ObamaShopsHere

More in my favorite #CoverTrend . The Booking Agents Series. Sounds like a cute cozy, a psychic travel agent teams up with a skeptical detective.

One of my favorite McCall Smith series. #WithaWeatherWord #TemptingTitles

#BookSpin and #DoubleSpin two books on my TBR for awhile and now I have the push I need to move them to the top of the #TBR

The goal this month is more than 6. #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

As usual, I went with the thriller. #BOTM #MountTBR

Wow. Poor effort by me this month. Only 6. No bingos. But I did finish my #bookspin and #doublespin. And I read 3/4 of Zero Fail. On to a more productive April! (I hope 🤞)

#Publishedin2020 # MarchMagic This was my 2020 birthday pick, following my rule of treating myself to a book I‘ve never heard anything about. I think the cover got me.

I loved this book. 💙💛 #NeurodiverseProtagonist #MagicMarch

Loved The Violin Conspiracy and can‘t wait for Slocumb‘s new one! #AuthorofColor #MarchMagic

Amazingly, one of the reasons this book has been banned is “bias against male students.” 😳 #FavoriteBannedBook #MarchMagic

I love the slow burn of a Tana French mystery. Elite girls boarding school + Murder. #SetinHighSchool #MarchMagic

Ready for some spring reading. Hoping the weather around here starts resembling spring. #BookSpinBingo

Loved The Guncle and looking forward to Rowley‘s new book The Celebrants. #LGBTQasMC #MarchMagic

“No one had seen the woman who lived at 246 Woodland Drive since early November.” #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

Katniss and Lisbeth. #KickAssFemale #MarchMagic

I‘m not much of a romance reader but it wouldn‘t be summer without an Emily Henry. #EniemiesToLovers #MarchMagic

Two of my recent favs #setin1920s #MarchMagic

#FavoriteMaleAuthor Stewart O‘Nan! #MarchMagic

Posting these two together since it‘s the same author (and I forgot yesterday 😜 ) The Sparrow is my favorite #AboutScience #SciFi and the tagged book is my #BookYouOftenRecommend #WWII #HistoricalFiction

#marchMagic 💚☘️🪄

1. Yay to both!
2. I like decorative endpapers. And I always love a map. My current read (tagged) has chapter titles, which I feel we rarely see anymore and I like it. Example: Chapter 8 I‘d Rather Not Go Into It.
3. Winter in front of the fireplace, summer on my back deck

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
Play along Littens! #wondrouswednesday

More in my favorite recent #covertrend. #FaceOnTheCover with sunglasses reflecting something. #MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks to @julesG for finding more covers!

Loved the book, haven‘t watched the movie yet. (I‘m counting it even tho it‘s a movie not a series😜)
#AdaptedtoNetflixSeries #MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I loved Wintering, looking forward to Enchantment. And they are so pretty! 🧡💙

It‘s my birthday tradition to buy myself a book. It has to be one I have never heard of. I couldn‘t decide so I got three. Happy birthday to me!

These are all the bookish podcasts I listen to regularly. It‘s how I get my 10,000 steps a day in and why my library holds list and #TBR are so huge! I love them all but I think From the Front Porch is my fav. 💙 Annie B Jones. #FavoriteBookishPodcast #MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

NovelTea with book quotes, Meyer lemon cookies and a 5⭐️ book all curtesy of the wonderful @LaraReads and #muglove23. The book is sad but also heartwarming and funny.
