These books are highly entertaining, tense and adventurous. This is the second in this part of the series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author has some interesting ideas. Def worth a listen. This gorgeous cover caught my attention and this was a book club pick.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I found this protagonist super annoying and probably should have given up at the halfway mark but it does get somewhat better.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is pretty creepy. I devoured it.

This is what you expect a booker shortlist book to be. It's well written but I already forgot the plot. Was there a plot? The mice were creepy af.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very cute. I like this author (except for that 1 book).

This one is amazing and it's just meta enough that you'll keep thinking about it.

#Aardvark @AardvarkBookClub

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Highly recommend. This is a sci-fi heist caper set on another planet.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is book 6 in the Gunnie Rose series. They are entertaining and I will continue to read whatever this author comes up with.

This is very good. I have no idea why I'm leaning into the fantasy books so hard (escapism?). I need to slow down because they are all series and I'm going to mix them all together if I keep reading all book 1s.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I maybe didn't really love this but whatever + 🤐 discussion tomorrow.

This author can be very creepy. I love it.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is lovely and I hope she writes more books like this.

I don't even remember how this ended up in my library holds. But it is very interesting.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I really like this author. She takes a basic mystery and makes it so complex with so many variable that it's impossible to figure it all out on your own.

I thought this was very entertaining. I immediately put myself on the waitlist for the next book in the series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

If you enjoy this author, definitely read this. If not maybe assume it's like her other books and read something else. Her writing is beautiful. I read this for our April IRL #bookclub.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is incredibly interesting. 5 Black ballerinas, famous (in their own way) during the 70s and 80s, tell their stories. Another rec from @TheBookHippie that I borrowed for my IRL NF book club.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was a really fast read. A post apocalyptic story of immigrants in an unnamed country struggle with loss and poverty and a chaotic government ruled by thugs. It's well written and thought provoking.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was so good. Maybe better than Addie LaRue.

This title caught my attention. I have no other reason behind why I read a NF book about axe murders.

Dinner + a mostly finished book at BWI. A friend asked how I could beeline straight to Pinkberry the last time I passed through here. I may come here fairly often. And it's Pinkberry.

This was weird. It reads like a dream. Or a schizophrenic hallucination. Not that I have experience with those but whatever. You get the idea.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is an older title that's being reissued.
#ARC #Netgalley

A Snow White retelling (prequel?) With the evil stepmother as narrator. I really enjoyed it.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is cute but I liked the first book in the series much more. This was a little too chaotic with too much magic.

Reading outside on the patio? Yes please! New vampire chunkster from this author? Absolutely!

This is good historical fiction with a bit of mystery set in Edinburgh during the era of body snatchers or resurrectionists.

#Aardvark @AardvarkBookClub

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very interesting. It's more a reflection on time and a history of how it is measured and how that has changed than a self help book of any sort. I would recommend not reading this if you are seriously burnt out already.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Set in Argentina and told from the perspective of a trans sex worker, if you're looking for something unusual that is also very readable this gets my rec.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I don't know how to describe this. It's a feminist enclave with a mother that goes missing.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author is interesting. He tells a good story. His text is non-linear. The subjects are not cheerful. I recommend it anyway.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I also had an #ARC from #Netgalley 😂 oops.

This was climate fantasy. Can we make that a thing? The perils of mining with witches thrown in to try to save the environment. I liked it.

I acquired way to many books in Feb. Let's see how many I can get through.

This is super cute. And the fantasy isn't over the top. If you're looking for fluffy romance this might be for you.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Did I just now finish the #SundayBuddyRead from November 2024? Yes indeed. There is nothing earth shattering in this and she feels like an unreliable narrator at times. Meh. @TheBookHippie

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was very entertaining. This ended on a cliffhanger. It's like I HAVE to read the next book.... After I get a few more out of the way. This book had a serious waitlist but the next book is just available? Seems weird.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This might be a low pick for me but I think it's my general mood and not the book here. Getting a non blurry photo while standing on the T (subway train) was a struggle.

#SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author is very funny and he uses language in a very resourceful way in order to accomplish that. This is the second in the Noir series. There are dragons, inappropriate jokes, and a spaceman. What else could you possibly need?

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author rubbed me the wrong way. For someone preaching rest, she can't seem to let anything go. We would not be friends IRL.

I always think this author is writing about herself when she does short stories. I kind of like it.

This is alternate history. What if the British never left India? A group of young women start their own rebellion in 1960s Mumbai. Stories from their diverse culture are added in and it's all lovely.

I really like this series. I got to meet the author when she was touring for the fourth book. This one mostly takes place in and around Ipswich MA which is near where I live so I thought it was extra fun.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is basically a history about French chaos and Berthe Morisot with a bit of Manet. She's an icon and I'm glad I took a break from (paused) my fantasy trend to give her some of my headspace.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is was very entertaining. I will read the next book when it appears.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I had no idea until I had this in my hot little hands that it was short stories. I always assumed it was essays. Side note that the ebook has additional stories in it that do not appear in the original print version. I love this author. This didn't disappoint.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

Pretty sure this author hated Pride and Prejudice. I felt generally icky about the whole thing by the end.

This book is amazing. I loved it. I stole it off a list made by @TheBookHippie (who gives the best recs) sometime last year. This definitely gets my recommendation as well.

#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks

This is a cute second novel in this series. It reads as young YA. I am not the target audience.
