Thanks for the suggestion in your post, @AllDebooks ! Just put it on hold. Anyone know if it is better in print or by audio?

AllDebooks Yay!! I hope you enjoy it. Tbh, I love both audio and print versions, but the print just wins it. 2d

Bombs Away: The Hot War | Harry Turtledove

Pickpick

54/100 Alternate history has always been my favorite subgenre of science fiction, and few writers do it better than Turtledove. What if Truman used the atomic bomb to end the war in Korea? The results are horrific, and this is only the first book of the trilogy. Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad, Portland, Seattle and Los Angles gone up in atomic mushrooms. I did find it a little unrealistic that that much radiation from this destruction wasn't killing ⬇️

RamsFan1963 more people, but the exact tonnage of these bombs are never mentioned, but I assume they're as powerful as the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I enjoy the rotating povs, so the war is seen from every angle, how both soldiers and civilians are affected. 4 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 1w

a different take on the classic Jane Eyre story.

As a fan of the original, I wanted to give this a go. It's interesting and funny at times. I personally prefer Jane on the original than this. She doesnt seem quite as strong. The plot is clever and a fun more supernatural twist on the classic. The ending was good if a little strange at the end but tied it off well. If I'm honest though I still prefer the original. 3*

Somewhere to the south and east lay Hungnam, the North Korean port on the Sea of Japan.

lil1inblue @dabbe I never knew that! 😂 I never got the Stairway hype. I like the song, but I don't LOVE the song. 2w
lil1inblue 😂 😂 😂 It looks, and sounds, like an amazing hike! 😍 2w
Kristy_K @JenlovesJT47 It‘s at Nuuksio National Park in Finland but now I‘ve got to add Castle Rock to my places to visit! 2w
Kristy_K @dabbe Thank you! I didn‘t know that. This makes me feel more justified about my dislike then lol. 2w
Kristy_K @Eggs It killed me hiking it but was so worth it! 2w
Kristy_K @lil1inblue It was great and so beautiful and peaceful! 2w
BooksandCoffee4Me @Kristy_K @dabbe @lil1inblue It‘s popular because every new guitar player in the 70s “earned” social credit when they could play the intro. I know because it was my goal too. 😂 2w

To Shape a Dragon's Breath | Moniquill Blackgoose

Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 💕🐎📚.

1- I've four books that I'm currently reading. Been focusing on “Bless Me, Ultima,“ by Rudolfo Anaya. While not a favorite, it's an interesting read.

2- I began “The Blast from the Past,“ by Lucy Score & “Terciel & Elinor“ by Garth Nix. Triple excited about both, yet haven't really read too many pages/chapters into these stories because I really want them to last.

👇

AnnCrystal I only have one more “Riley Thorn“ book, and I've waited a long time to read the sixth book in the “Old Kingdom“ series...I'm going to take my time with both.

Therefore, in June, I plan to begin focusing more on, “To Shape a Dragon's Breath“ by Moniquill Blackgoose. Have read twenty pages already, and I'm really intrigued.

3.75/5

I enjoyed this. The world building is exceptional. The characters are likable and well drawn. I love the idea of djinn just living and abiding by rules in our world.
The mystery and reveal were well thought out and I really love how strong Clark has made the women in the book, it is not often men can write such strong self assured and believable women.

#Weeklyforecast
I have this week off work so I am hoping to make a dent in my TBR. My library checkouts have gotten out of hand so pausing everything and trying to get things back.
I am a little over half into the tagged and I read 100 pgs of I Think They Love You yesterday then will move onto Phantom and Flamingo before tackling #CampLitsy25 2nd book and Witch King is high on my list b/c I have early access to the sequel.

ChaoticMissAdventures Flamingo is the oldest thing on my GR TBR and if I don't read it this summer I need to donate it. 3w
squirrelbrain Flamingo is fab - you should definitely read it! 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain it has been sitting on my shelf since it was longlisted for the WP and I just haven't been able to get myself to pick it up. This week is so or die time! 3w
