May #bookspin - more thematic than title-specific. This is working for me in 2024 & I‘m sticking with it.

AshleyHoss820 Yes! This works for me as well! I‘m too much of a mood reader, so I need wiggle room. I love that this challenge leaves space for us like that! ☺️ Happy Reading! 3d
JackOBotts @AshleyHoss820 - couldn‘t agree more! It great at getting me to tackle the far too long TBR! 🤣 3d

I wasn't going to participate originally, because I didn't want to rack my brain for 80's pop songs, but I thought of a category I could narrow down enough, soundtrack scores 😁

🎷 Gabriel's Oboe by Ennio Morricone from The Mission
🐍 Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark by John Williams
🦇 Theme from Batman (1989) by Danny Elfman

TheBookHippie John Williams is fantastic! 5d
CatLass007 I‘m not familiar with The Mission. Was it based on a book? I think you‘ve done an excellent job of narrowing down your category. I‘m fairly certain that if I started thinking of music from the 70s or 80s or any other decade, I‘d have those songs running through my head for the rest of the year. John Williams‘ Raiders of the Lost Ark theme is very memorable. But I remember very vividly sitting in the theater watching the maze that became (cont)⬇️ 5d
CatLass007 the Batman symbol and almost physically being pulled in by the music. Not long ago I was having a conversation with my brother about that scene and I said something about Seal singing Kiss from a Rose for the movie and he had no idea who or what I was talking about. Everyone thought Michael Keaton was going to be a terrible Batman, but he was fabulous! 5d

As expected the guy ended up with the girl by the end.....
The end felt a bit rushed to finish but a overall good read.

It been a while since I read a book over 600 page's but I did enjoy this one and it's very different from the film, as usual!

I found another book shop today in Newcastle
The book Greengrocers.
They had a great clearance section outside so I got this chunkster for $4.
I was a bit disappointed in there true crime section but we can't have everything in life.

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

I may regret this, because obviously I don't have enough buddy reads going on 😂, but is anyone interested in reading the Trixie Belden books with me? I'm thinking similar to the Nancy Drew readalong - one book a month with a few discussion posts? Since we read ND in the first half of the month & discuss on the 15th, I'm thinking Trixie in the second half & discuss on the 30th?

If yes, start this month or in April?

TheAromaofBooks Thank you for the repost!! 1mo
curiouserandcurioser @TheAromaofBooks i would reread Trixie Belden with you, but would want to start in April:) 1mo

1. Yes, I had a few goals. I met my GR goal & completed my library‘s book challenge. I didn‘t finish all my bookspin books but got close.
2. 5 ⭐️ for The World Record Book of Racist Stories because the audio version earned it an extra ⭐️
3. Don‘t think I have any series planned for next year

Another novel of our school‘s storage. It is a novel about teenagers starting a dangerous game ending in a crime. To me it seemed like the novel was only written for educational purposes in sense of “don‘t do this”. It tried to hard.

This is a really entertaining book :)! Travel with twin princesses Flissa and Sara through the treacherous lands of the Twists as they search for a magical antidote to save their mother – and maybe the whole kingdom – from an evil magician ✨🌌!

August review😬
This book started so interesting but then it was like a chaos. James is at the airport going back home after vacation, met Michelle and strange things start to happen like they are in another dimension. Then you will see the different reaction of people at the airport. It is supposed to be something like Jurassic park but in a bad way. The book club members thought I would like it because of the psychological aspects but no😳⬇️

Gissy (Cont) It was a chaos, disorganized, confusing and not well integrated for me. Didn‘t work for me at all. Only one person liked it in the book club. Almost a 👎 category. 2⭐️

1. Usually from home, but a few times a year I enjoy a huge theater, the popcorn, the whole experience

2. Video games: I usually play on my Nintendo switch, but also on PS4 sometimes, also jigsaw puzzles 🧩 and crosswords

3. Dine out: I hate cooking and would hire a chef or eat out all the time if I could
