Happiness is coffee, pastries and the start of May #bookspin!

@TheAromaofBooks

This novel just did not click for me. Botswana was underutilized, the characters were unlikable, the pacing was slow, the final reveal was unsurprising.

It was my 2nd “locked room“ thriller that I didn't love, although the other did the locked room parts well (Reprieve). This one dragged and became repetitive.

I love making these lists😁

April #Bookspin success!

My 3rd spin was finally a good one.

Caledon Books sent this sometime at the beginning of the pandemic and it got lost in a pile till last month. I usually prefer audio for nonfiction but this was a fast read highlighting the gay men victims' lives rather than the serial killer.

#wondrouswednesday catch up

1. In the past few years i have found that I just love the Craig Johnson Longmire Series. They are my go-to if I want great writing, a great cast of characters in the beautifully described setting of Wyoming.

2. Being with book people that just want to discuss all things bookish.

3. The tagged book. I loved A Gentleman In Moscow and can't wait to get to this one.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

I did the audio version. Nothing new here but a lovely walk down memory lane.

#Bookspin April 2022

April is here!! Can't wait to see what gets picked. March was so so and Feb may be DNF😁

March is done but was just ok for me. I am definitely in the minority but there was a major part of the plot that I didn't care for.

Back to Feb's pick now🙂

This was pure entertainment. Unique and quirky characters with an action packed plot. So enjoyable!

#Bookspin March 2022

Ready for March while still working on February😁

@TheAromaofBooks

Beautiful in every single way - the words, the illustrations, the tone, the message....everything!

"Sometimes the first step towards change is closing our eyes, taking a breath, and imagining a different way." - from the author's note. ❤

February #Bookspin is on deck! Sick pup and Ozark competing for my attention but ready to dig into this.

A little crooked but posted 😜 mrp27

My very first #Bookspin February 2022!

@TheAromaofBooks

This book was like a big hug. The illustrations were everything.
