#ReadAway2024 #AwesomeApril #readathon

Finished last night for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 It was fun to reread Pippi, it‘s been decades & the books & movies were something I shared with my dad. As a child I wanted to hang out with Pippi, as an adult, she tired me out! 😉 I need to see if I can find the movies now.

Sometimes you read the right book at the right time. I devoured this delightful fantasy in one sitting. While I do think there could have been some things fleshed out more and better developed, I overall enjoyed this debut novel.

Book 5 for #AwesomeApril

Just finished my second book for #AwesomeApril

The latest book in the excellent Maeve Kerrigan Series. Quite a complex murder mystery with plenty of angst and taking forward of the Josh and Maeve story. Was feeling quite upbeat then the epilogue. Now reeling with that ending! 😳😱😫🫣😢🤯😭 I need the next book now. What has Jane Casey done!

Totally recommend this series.

Full disclosure-I absolutely love the movie, so I may be biased. I‘m glad I finally read this, and though some things were the same as in the movie, there were also tons of differences. IMO, this was a bit boring! A rare instance where the movie adaptation was better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I preface this by acknowledging I am not the target audience. That being said, I really don't get the hype around this book. I got halfway & considered DNF'ing it. Instead, I read some other books before returning. I ended up skimming the last third of the book. Plot & pacing issues were what killed it for me.

Overall, not for me but it‘s off my shelf!

Book 4 #awesomeapril

😐

Bit underwhelming and an abrupt ending.

Gorgeous psychological descriptions of what goes on in Edward's mind, but all in all I was missing something.

Low pick. Very low pick.

A fea fantasy, with the basis set around Camelot, King Arthur,knights of the round table but also a spy element It does have the usual tropes but I liked that it was very different fast paced, I liked the characters so was a pick for me I will read the next one out in September.

First goal met for #AwesomeApril readathon

This is my second book finished for the #AwesomeApril readathon hosted by @Andrew65

I reread this book for #LitsySciFiBookClub and loved it just as much this time around. The MC, Elma York, has this charisma about her that draws you in. She fought many uphill battles to reach her dream of becoming an astronaut and did it with a dignity we rarely see today. 5⭐️

I made more progress in this book tonight. I have 2 hrs and 4 mins left in this book.
