#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

AmandaBlaze Initially read this as Logan's Run, which is supposed to be a sci-fi classic. 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @AmandaBlaze 😂 When I came across it at the library book sale I thought I scored big time with finding Logan's Run! I'm sure the title is some kind of homage. 3d

Read 2 of the 5 novellas in Lineage. Tamar's story was quite good and compelling, but Rahab's story was hella repetitive, and she kind of reminded me of Lydia from Welcome to Plathville #iykyk However, learning how the Israelites brought down the wall of Jericho was quite interesting.
So time for a break. Moving on to this month's #Bookspin

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Thank you! It's been 3 years in the making (mostly because outdoor furniture is ridiculously priced 😤)! Now, if the damn weather would cooperate lol 3d
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Yes WHY is outdoor furniture so expensive?? If this year follows the typical pattern, the storms will stop in a couple weeks and we won't see another drop of rain till October. 😧 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It's crazy!!! I saw a cool hammock chair in Lowe's for $699 😧 The whole set I bought was less than $100 more - crazy! But that's all I'm going to say bc there aren't enough characters in all of Litsy for my rant 😂😂 3d
Ruthiella I hope you get to enjoy it soon! 🤞😃 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @Ruthiella me too!! 😊 3d

2. The library book store and semi-annual book sale, thrift stores, and little free libraries.

Since it's 5 novellas I'm not sure if I'm going to read it straight through or break it up with some other reading 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cuilin You got this 💪 Looks great. 7d
bookandbedandtea I read these years ago and remember being impressed with the way the author filled in the stories for these women. I especially liked Tamar's and Rahab's stories. 7d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I'm enjoying it more than I thought. And yes, the author's storytelling is very impressive given the scraps she had to work with! 7d

I liked the 80s nostalgia of Westchester County, where I grew up. As for the story itself, eh, it was alright and not as compelling as I thought it would be. I hate going into books with high expectations 😕

BarbaraJean I have so many questions about this cover!!! Is that a clock on the skier‘s belly? Why is there a disembodied head with a skier silhouette on its forehead? Why are those people running in the background and are they naked? Is the skier wearing a medieval-type helmet? WHYYYYY. Do I just need to put my glasses on? Somehow I don‘t think glasses are going to resolve all my questions… (edited) 3w

Summer flings with no strings might be what Ivey has planned; but things don't always go as planned.

I love Foster's characters, but I grew very impatient with this book and just wanted it to end.

A worthy read for Van Halen fans.

And a funny little cosmic book/life story: I saw VH in March 1984. The following month I met and started going out with my boyfriend and we realized we both saw VH the same night. As of yesterday, we're together 40 years! Just strange that I decided to read this book now 💫
