pick#bookerlonglist #10
I did really like this but struggled with the audio at the start. Definitely a case of me though, not the book. Listening on my commute and having lots of work-related stress meant I was very distracted and kept losing the thread. Although I don‘t think the constant changing of POV and from first to third person helped.
The ending was very sudden, but to be expected when it‘s the first in a series of four. I will read more.
pickBook #10 of the year: “OMFG, BEES!” by Matt Kracht
I think I got this one in La Conner. Cute little read about all kinds of different bees, why they‘re important, and how to help them out.
Beeeees!
Here‘s my July #readyourkindle picks. #10 is one of the books from the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘m hoping to read 3 of the books from the reading list this month and maybe read the July book if I have time. I‘m trying to catch up with the buddy read. The last 3 picks are Kindle Unlimited prompts. I have 20 books checked out on there right now to read. 20 is the limit you can check out but I haven‘t had time to read them.
so-soI had mixed feelings about this series going past book #10. And I still do. I was kind of underwhelmed with this one. Interesting twist but still a lot of vague, unanswered questions. So I‘m thinking there will be at least a 12th book…?
pickFebruary 2025 Book read #1 😳😬🫣
I started this book inJanuary but finished it in February for in memory of @sharread #Sharreadathon @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Book was picked from her litsy list.
I liked this book, the world and character. A Rumplestiltskin retelling. However, didn‘t like much the ending, maybe I was expecting something more dramatic and dark due to the story. But still I liked it. 3.8/4 ⭐️
#HaikuADay Day #10
A typical Saturday #Chatterday for me includes time reading & catching up with letters & writing in my local coffee shop. It inspires today‘s haiku:
Saturday Oasis
Weekend coffee shop
brews, breakfast, low-key bustle,
public solitude

pickJanuary 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️
