I‘ve finished my May #DoubleSpin book.
I loved the Cerulean Sea duology. So when my nephew asked me if I‘d read book 1 in Klune‘s YA series, I happily agreed.
It‘s not on the same level as Cerulean but it still had great moments that made me feel the story. I laughed and I felt the characters‘ pain and sadness.
My nephew LOVED it btw. 🏳️‍🌈

This is a first for me. All five #WickedWords were in one book.
This book is also a #Roll100 #readyourebooks & #SeriesLove2025 title.

But, I still don‘t know the movie these five words describe. 🤔

It was nice being back in Sea Haven on the Jersey shore. Ceepak & Danny catch a case when preserved body parts and skulls from 20 years ago are found in various locations around town. Is the serial killer a regular vacationer or a neighbor?

The Phoenix Crown: A Novel | Kate Quinn, Janie Chang
post image
Pickpick

Both read for #AuthorAMonth. I‘ve already posted about The Rose Code.
The Phoenix Crown didn‘t pull me in right from the start but I‘m glad I gave it a chance. Set around the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it follows the story of four women. Last year I read another book about this event, Outrun the Moon by Stacy Lee (#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD), & loved it! I think once I stopped comparing this book to that one, it was more enjoyable.

TheBookHippie I don‘t like Kate Quinn‘s writing 🫣🤷🏻‍♀️🤫 1w
mcctrish I struggled with The Phoenix Crown because I‘d read another book set in the same place and time and it bonded with my soul more 1w

I really enjoyed our April #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD book. The writing, the stories & (of course) our Sunday discussions were so good. I love how much I learn from these reads & discussions and how readily I jump into books I wouldn‘t have chosen for myself.

I read this for #AuthorAMonth & it was a solid historical fiction read. I agree with the comments I‘ve seen by several others here that say it was a bit too long. Overall, an enjoyable book & interesting enough that I dug deeper into the history that was portrayed here.

Tangled Up in You | Christina Lauren

This Rapunzel retelling was so charming. This is the first in this series (Meant to Be) that I‘ve read. I‘ve had this on my shelf for a bit. Christina Lauren are authors I usually enjoy so this was a no brainer pick for April‘s #TBRtarot
The MCs grow, open up, struggle & get their HEA. CL respects the Tangled story while still making it uniquely their own.
