As usual all my holds came in at once from the library so that blows up my planned #TBR
Bonus pic of sleepy Prue after she knocked some pillows off the daybed in my home office. 🦮😹

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin

#BOTM is here! I cracked and got The Man Made of Smoke so I could get the add-ons I really wanted and I had massive FOMO about not picking up Wild Dark Shore before.
Piper thinks we need to take our lunch break so we can read.

My #bookspin is also the #LSFBC pick this month. I love it when a plan comes together. 😹
My #doublespin was recommended by a knitting/book YouTuber I follow and it just came off hold at the library.
#LitsySciFiBookclub

I cracked and got the North as my #BOTM because I REALLY wanted the add-ons.
Plus I had a lot of FOMO that I didn‘t grab Wild Dark Shore earlier. And everyone I‘ve talked to about it loved it. With my #aardvarkbookclub picks that‘s 6 books bought today. I need to slow down. 📚

This was much better than I thought it was going to be. I actually laughed out loud (the Barbara clinic scene) in front of the #manpanion, my sister & her husband (they were watching the football draft so I was reading). I liked the crocheting in it & here‘s another square for my #readingblanket
As another said, it got repetitive & I did skim a little at times.
I have no desire to read the first 2 books, but this one was a pleasant surprise.

Has anyone else seen this before when they went to skip #BOTM?
I went skip for the 3rd (4th?) month in a row. The main picks just aren‘t hitting for me. BUT, there are FOUR add-ons I want but can‘t get. So frustrating. 😠

Well @AardvarkBookClub you have done it again! I couldn‘t hit Add to Box fast enough this morning and I had to stop myself at 2 books this month. Well done!
#aardvarkbookclub

I'm not doing so well in my #GoodReads #DustyBookshelfChallenge this year.
May's books are The Hitchcock Hotel and The Bachelorette Party, both are #netgalley books I've been sitting on for a little while.
I'm always hoping for some crossover with my #bookspin picks.

I‘m very behind in my reading this month. So, in addition to my physical book, I did a little #audioknitting tonight. This is from a mystery gnome knit along #MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. Perfect for one of the Queen of Mystery‘s books.
My Professor is pretty cute.
I‘m enjoying this Christie so far.

My May #bookspin potentials list. (so far)
A lot of these are #netgalley titles. I am WAYYYY behind on reviews for them so I really need to get to reading from my backlist.
@thearomaofbooks

While this was not as good as the first one it still was delightful fun. I wish we could get books from the other women‘s perspectives, especially Nat; to me Billie is not as interesting as some of the others.

My #aardvarkbookclub books are finally here!

Free books at #silentbookclub tonight!

$0.50 each at the library last night.

I MAY have gone a little crazy this week with $2.99 and under ebooks.

While this was not as good as the first one, I still really enjoyed reading this sequel.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This square still needs to be blocked but I think the colors are pretty good for this cover.

April‘s #bookspin is a mood read and my #doublespin may require a box of tissues.

I needle felted my own little Marcellus this weekend. #craftersoflitsy

After much debate I skipped #BOTM (again) and managed to stop myself at 2 (though I wanted 6!)for #aardvarkbookclub
What did you all get this month?

#coverstories #waves

April #Bookspin and #Doublespin possibilities.

I knew I could count on a cozy for a #barn. These are two #coverstories from my kindle.

When looking on my kindle for tomorrow‘s prompt I found that I DO have one book with an #umbrella on it. #coverstories

#coverstories #pastel

Another vintage Christie from my collection. This is a 1980s edition.
#coverstories #clock

I discovered that I do have a book cover with a #tuxedo on it. Better late than never.
#coverstories

I keep flip flopping on what to read next. I started Such Sharp Teeth but I don‘t think aim in the mood right now. Since this one is so short I figure I have enough time to read it before our #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 read next week.

Some #river books on my #kindle
#coverstories

A Barnes and Noble opened up today near my house.

I won a book from #goodreads !

Up next.

I love this cover so much; except the creepy eye in the #keyhole

This was an okay short story. It was my #kindlefirst free pick for this month. I do like the square I made for it for for my #bookblanket though! 😁

This was my first T Kingfisher and it won‘t be my last.
#bookblanket #crochet

Low pick for me.
I thought this was going to be a 4 or 5 star read at first. Then halfway through it ran out of gas and the end was just annoying. There is no way Doug would act the way he did at the end. I thought it was building up to a something big, but it ended with a whimper.
It was a page turner though and I did speed through it and there were a few really interesting moments to reflect on.

Two vintage paperbacks for today‘s #running #coverstories

“Come to bed, Mouse. I know how to cheer you up,” he says.

This book is going to make me angry.
#FirstLineFridays

Finished this #HitchToScreen pick.
I‘ll admit I almost bailed before we ever got on the train.
I‘m glad I stuck around because the story was interesting and I really wanted to know of Miss Froy‘s fate…or if she existed at all.
I must say I struggled with the writing style a bit. I have a question for everyone that I‘ll put in a spoiler below.
The movie was pretty different and I have a thought I‘ll put in the spoilers below as well.

Too on the nose? 🤪

This is only book I have that‘s closest to having a #tuxedo on it.
I‘m not classy like that. 😹😹😹

Rebecca the #readingsnake got another stripe.
Lime green for #nonfiction with a one row black stripe for #audiobook.

The only #umbrella I could find in my physical book collection is a parasol.This is the end of a series I‘ve really enjoyed. I‘ve been putting off reading it because I don‘t want it to end.

Two books outside my norm this month for my #aardvarkbookclub picks.
