Crazeedi
The Square of Sevens | Laura Shepherd-Robinson
post image
Pickpick

Just WOW . 5☆ This was an excellent read. I had to keep putting it down because I knew the protagonist was in trouble again! You ever read books like that? Red is an orphan who reads fortunes through the square of Sevens layout. After her father dies when she is 7, she is fostered by a kind man who raises her. She finds out she is the heir to the DeLacy fortune and vows to claim it , though the family doesn't realize she exists. ⬇️

Crazeedi So she undergoes the quest to be recognized in court. Except she has many obstacles she faces, and has to run from trouble at many turns. The plot of the book is complex but totally engrossing. Pay attention to the cards at the beginning of each chapter! If you like magic you will like this book 2w

First finish for March is this story of Cassandra Tipp - is she a victim of trauma-induced psychosis who killed her husband, father and brother, or is her tale of faeries true?
This superbly written novel is my favourite read of this year so far.

Here‘s what my picks are for #bookspinbingo. For #2, my Bookspin pick is a Netgalley ARC that I need to read. It‘s a cozy mystery. This is perfect because it‘s the next book I‘ll be reading from Netgalley. For #17, my Double Spin pick is a Christian nonfiction book. It seems like it will be encouraging and I usually like encouraging books so I‘m interested to see what I think.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Enjoy!! 4w

ShelleyBooksie I would ask what genre they like and go from there. If someone is looking for a funny, light book my go to suggestion is always One for The Money by Janet Evanovich. 1mo
tpixie @ShelleyBooksie yes! Great slapstick comedy and a fun cast of characters! I stopped at #17 - but loved them!!! Oh I remember the agony of having to wait a whole year for Book 6!! ( Who was at her door!??!) 🚪 1mo
ElizaMarie My go too for recommendations usually stays with 1mo

BookwormAHN @ElizaMarie Love that, I go with The Dead Zone a lot or Lord Of The Rings. 1mo
Elizabeth2 @ShelleyBooksie @tpixie haha! Great recommendation. I‘ve been reading that series for more than 20 years! My first recommendations for someone who doesn‘t specify genre are usually one of these - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Dog Who Saved Me, Saving Jacob, A Man Called Ove, anything by Sarah Addison Allen or The Book Theif. So hard to just recommend one! (Don‘t enter me for the giveaway for this one - I‘ve read all of these. 😃) (edited) 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BookwormAHN Ashley!! You are the winner! I‘ll hopefully be able to mail them tomorrow! ❤️📚🫶🏻 1mo

I hate bailing on a book, but I hate wasting my time trying to slog through something I'm not enjoying even worse. So on to the #DNF pile this one goes. I guess that's one way to clear them from my shelf @CBee. #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #17

#ReadYourEBooks @CBee

Well, Cyd, you and the numbers came through. We had joked that our #TBRtarot picks probably wouldn‘t get drawn for #readyourebooks. #17 is my #TBRtarot book! Yay 💙
I‘m starting with that one and Opposites Attract.

CBee That‘s awesome luck!! Yay 😁 2mo

CBee Remember, you don‘t have to read all 4! Low key, no pressure here 😊😊 2mo
Sapphire Ok! Dream of Scipio followed by either Trust by Herman Diaz or Train Dreams for me! I don‘t think I will get to goon squad. Thanks @CBee 2mo
CBee @Sapphire sounds great 😊 2mo
Leniverse Yay, numbers! Pageboy, Chain-Gang All-Stars, Camp Zero, House of Doors. I would LOVE to get through all of those, but we'll see. I have other book commitments too 😅 I think I'll start with Chain-Gang because I'm already reading a non-fiction. 2mo
vivastory @Leniverse Chain-Gang is so good 2mo
Leniverse @vivastory It's just ridiculous that I haven't already read it! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Ooooo I forgot this was happening today!!! For now, I'm going with one number because I have way too many challenge/buddy reads happening 😂 Looks like I've owned this one since September 2016. I think it's time haha It's - 2mo
vivastory @Leniverse No shame at all. I'm currently reading Yellowface. 2mo
CBee @Leniverse I haven‘t read Chain Gang yet either, hoping to get to it soon! 2mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks sounds good to me 😊 2mo
CBee @vivastory what do you think of it so far? (edited) 2mo
Allylu #12 I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel; #14 Welcome to Last Chance by Cathleen Armstrong; #17 Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund; and #18 Hotel Sacher by Rodica Doehnery. I also plan to read Be My Valencrime by Amy M. Reade for #SeasonalCozies !! 2mo
vivastory @CBee I started it last night around 10 & before I knew it I had read 120 pages. There are def some moments where I cringe when June's prejudices peek through, but she has a strong narrative voice for someone who seems to often lack her own identity. Also, some of the observations on the arbitrary nature of which books becomes bestsellers, while not new, is great to see (in a bestseller lol) 2mo
monkeygirlsmama 12.) The Help - K Stockett, 14.) Double Happiness - T Brasunas, 17.) Stop Littering. Place in a Bin. - P Good, and 18.) Nether - J Beymer... I think I'll start with The Help and go from there. Will make sure I get at least two of them read, but am gonna shoot for all four if I can. 🙂 2mo
CBee @Allylu great plan 👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
CBee @vivastory oh yes, quite a few cringy moments but fascinating to see a bit behind the scenes of publishing. It‘s sort of like a car wreck you can‘t look away from 😳😂 2mo
CBee @monkeygirlsmama the Help is great! Make sure to watch the movie too! 2mo
jackilynn #12 Curious Tide-Pascale Lacelle. #14 Empire of Sand-Tasha Suri. #17 The Haunting of Maddy Clare- Simone St. James. #18 Into the Drowning Deep- Mira Grant. Hmmm, I can totally get behind these picks lol 2mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m going to start with #12, because it‘s been on my TBR for ages: 2mo
AnnR Even though all my numbered picks were just general themes, I'm going with the #12 Kindle. There is a short children's classic titled The Windy Hill that I've been trying to read for a few months now. I'd like to cross that one off my list. 2mo
RebelReader I‘m going with #18. 2mo
RaeLovesToRead I'll go with XOXO. That works for PopSugar Challenge (book beginning with X) 2mo
CBee @jackilynn I love anything by Simone St. James 😊 2mo
CBee @AnnR sounds great 👏🏻 2mo
CBee @RebelReader that sounds right up my alley! 2mo

CBee @KLyn1 great! I hope some will work for both! 2mo
KLyn1 @CBee - me too 😉 2mo
BethM Damsel in a dress (cozy), the grail conspiracy (fiction maybe sff), 100 yr old man (fic), insomnia (horror). I think I‘ll go with damsel in a dress 2mo
julieclair I will start with Mr. Finchley Discovers His England, and if I have time, I‘ll also read Elizabeth and Her German Garden. 😀 2mo
CBee @BethM sounds great! Can‘t go wrong with cozy 😊 2mo
CBee @julieclair awesome 😊😊 2mo
OutsmartYourShelf I'm starting off with All In The Mind by Jenny Twist - the only fiction book from the 4 numbers, & hopefully In The Garden of Beasts by Erik Larsen. 2mo
CBee @OutsmartYourShelf I started the Larsen book years ago and enjoyed what I read but never finished it 😂🤷‍♀️ 2mo

Gissy
Once There Were Wolves | Charlotte McConaghy
post image
Pickpick

First book I read by this author and I will say I liked the writing style and the story, at least this one. There is a murder and people in the remote Highlands blame the wolves. Inti knows that this attack was not made by the wolves, then by who. She is working with a team to protect the wolves but this project is not well received by the community. But the story is more than that, is about Inti, who can be seen as unlikable character⬇️

Gissy (Cont.)..difficult, confrontative person. But then you know about her sister, her relationship with her mother, her father, and you will have another perspective of the whole situation, why she doesn‘t trust others why is difficult for her to be receptive to new relationships. All those situations in only 256 pages. Wow! That was amazing as a writer. There are some triggers like sexual abuse/assault. 4/4.5⭐️ 2mo
Gissy I forgot, it is a slow pace reading.

I went into this book hoping I would like it. But fearing it was overhyped. I had like 7 people recommend it to me. So I finally read it. HOLY COW. It was a fun read. Book of the month? Probably not. But fun and quirky. And I can‘t wait to read the next one. Book #17

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I loved this one! 2mo
