Another February read that also happened to be a January #BookSpin was Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. I LOVED this book! I typically love family dramas and really enjoy seeing this explored in other cultures. This was as good as other readers have said!

A bit of a late review. I finished this at the end of February and overall really enjoyed it! The very end of it I don't think was necessary or made a whole lot of sense for the story, though. The characters were lots of fun and I loved Mama Lettie!
This was my #BookSpin pick for February 💙

My #bookspin for March! 💚

This was such a cute read! It gave me "The House in the Cerulean Sea" vibes with the house of orphaned children and some misfits/found family tropes. This was a great round of #LMPBC ! Thanks y'all! @Readergrrl @Johanna414 @EclecticBookLover

Starting on this one for this month's #LMPBC !
It's giving me The House in Cerulean Sea vibes

My #bookspin list for February! ❤️

The Golden Enclaves was such an amazing end to the Scholomance trilogy! There were a lot of twists and surprises as El goes on her journey to "balance" the looming enclave war! I would like to do a reread of this series knowing what I know now to see what I can catch! #booked2023 A Book described with "twist" and "balance" @cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage

I finished Thistlefoot this week for another traveling book group and it was quite a read! Overall a lovely message with very complex characters. I thought the middle lagged a bit but the ending was perfection! I loved all the Baba Yaga stories woven in throughout. Using this for #booked2023 A Title with a Proper Noun

This was a "middle of the road" read for me. Didn't hate it but didn't love it! I did like exploring the different vampire clans. I thought they were fun and interesting. I will get this mailed off next week! #LMPBC @Johanna414 @EclecticBookLover @Readergrrl

Got this in today! 🎉 #LMPBC @Readergrrl @Johanna414 @EclecticBookLover

This was a solid collection of romantic short stories by Rainbow Rowell! If you are a fan of her book Fangirl or the Snow&Baz spin off then you'll like these as well! Some of my favorite stories were Kindred Spirits and The Prince and the Troll. The audio was great on it as well.
#booked2023 A Collection of Short Stories @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage

This book was PHENOMENAL!! An original YA fantasy story and I thoroughly enjoyed every single page. I am very sad I have to wait 9 months for book 2 as this book does end on a cliffhanger!
Using this for #booked2023 as a Quiet YA because I haven't seen much about this book on the social medias. I will be recommending this to a lot of people this year!
@Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage

My first completed book of 2023 just happens to be a reread! I plan on finally reading the rest of the trilogy this winter so I needed a refresh. Still starts out a little slow but really gets interesting at the end. A high so-so pick. Using this for #booked2023, 1) Part of a trilogy @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage

My first #BookSpin list of 2023, just barely under the wire! 🤣 I had to feel out what mood reads I was looking towards! @TheAromaofBooks

This book was phenomenal!! I had been wanting to read an adventure fantasy recently and this hit me in all the correct places. Will be reading the prequel coming out in February for sure!

Well this was.....something. Very similar to the book The Last Mrs. Parrish. I read this as a traveling book so the fun part was seeing everyone's reactions to the over the top, shocking behavior.

Thank you sooo much @Chrissyreadit ! This book was a total cover add to my TBR but it also sounded so good. The chocolate is my favorite. I appreciate you!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing another amazing #JolabokaflodSwap this year!

This was a quick read and very cute! Zoey had energy for daaayyyys 🤣 mailing off today to account for all the holiday mailing #LMPBC @Johanna414 @Readergrrl @EclecticBookLover

I'm assuming this is my #jolabokaflodswap package! I don't know the sender but I'm not expecting anything from a shop! @MaleficentBookDragon

My #JolabokaflodSwap is going out in the mail tomorrow! @MaleficentBookDragon

Ead = A mood.

My #BookSpin book for December is To Chase the Sun by Craig Randall. I "met" the author through my bookstagram and he is such a kind soul! This is his collection of poetry he wrote as he struggled with anxiety and depression. I'm not a poetry person really, but I enjoyed this! You can definitely feel his struggles and his breakthroughs. @TheAromaofBooks

My final #BookSpin list for 2022!

I LOVED this book! The vibes of this were just so fun and cute and quirky. If you're looking for a lighter read and a few laughs and a well thought out magic system, then give this a go! I will certainly be reading book 2 when it comes out! Can't wait to see what my #LMPBC group thinks! @Johanna414 @EclecticBookLover @Readergrrl

Got to meet TJ Klune today at Yallfest! He is just as nice as you'd imagine!!

I think I'm starting this one today for #LMPBC! 🎉
@Johanna414 @EclecticBookLover @Readergrrl

I am running a little behind this month, but here is my #BookSpin for November! Excited to see the numbers tomorrow ❤️ @TheAromaofBooks

I had a difficult time finding fantasy books that were not 500 pages 🤣 #LMPBC Have any of you read any of these? Any one of then stand out more than others? Excited for a new round with you all! @johanna414 @EclecticBookLover @Readergrrl

This was a really good fictional story that takes place based on real situations/places. It is overall a pretty heavy and graphic book, but I learned about a new tragic event in history. Would recommend!

This ended up being a pan for me, but not the worst. I feel like all I really learned about this was how awful Steve Jobs was as a person. Thank you for a great round! And @staci.reads I enjoyed your notes you sent with each book! ❤️ #LMPBC @cwarnier @allureofbeauty

I was actually pretty surprised by this book as I expected it to be full smut, no substance (no shade if you enjoy that, it's just not my bag!) but there was no smut until the backhalf and then it was done pretty well. I plan on reading the rest of the books at some point, probably using them as palate cleansers between heavier reads. #bookspin

My #BookSpin for October is Pestilence by Laura Thalassa and my #DoubleBookSpin is Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, which is also my #LMPBC read! Love how that worked out!

My #bookspin List for October! 🎉🎃

Finished this one today! I liked it! It was far more violence-detailed than I expected, but it didn't bother me. Good exampels of anti-heroes. I'll get this in the mail tomorrow! #LMPBC @allureofbeauty @cwarnier @staci.reads

Starting this one today for #LMPBC !
@staci.reads @allureofbeauty @cwarnier

My #Bookspin list for September! I can't believe it's already September 🥲 @TheAromaofBooks

I LOVED this one and read it so quickly! I'm now committed to reading the rest of Sepetys's backlog. The amount of research she does is next level amazing! I will mail this out on Monday! #LMPBC @staci.reads @cwarnier @allureofbeauty

#LMPBC @cwarnier @staci.reads @allureofbeauty
Finished this one this morning! I didn't like it as much as The Guest List by this author but it wasn't bad! Can't wait to see what you all think! I'll get this out next week

Hey Bookmark partners!! I wanted to give you a feel for my likes. I'm pretty easy going and I'm sure I'll love whatever you choose!
My favorite color is purple, I love cats, my favorite fandom is any of Sarah J Maas's books. I usually lean towards pictures or "scenes" on bookmarks over quotations.
I am not religious, so all I ask is no religious bookmarks. If yall post or drop your favorite things then I'll shop according to that ?

It's been awhile since I did a #BookSpinBingo but I feel like getting back in the swing of it for July! Well see how I do. Currently reading Yellow Wife and The Paris Apartment

Cutting it close, I was not read for a new month! 😂 here is my #BookSpin list for July! @TheAromaofBooks

Thank you @shortsarahrose for my #sliceofsummerswap box! I love seeing all the locally made/bought products from your area! I've also heard nothing but great things about I Must Betray You. Ruta Sepetys is a great hist fic author. Thank you so much! ❤️☀️
@Catsandbooks thank you for hosting!
