Two books finished last week in May & two in June.
#RandomClassic #AuthorAMonth #buddyread #BookSpinBingo
I read 12 books in May (one book was the #CBBC reading and I don‘t own that book).
Only one bingo but I read #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books I read more books in the free spaces😂
No bingo in the #ISpyBingo May @TheAromaOfBooks @Clwojick
Two books were not completed. I will try to finish them during this month. They are:
The Splendid and the Vile #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Clothes-Pegs #FurrowedMiddlebrow @LeahBergen
pickFirst book I‘ve read by this author and first book for #AuthorAMonth for her.
This is a book with five closely related novellas that really captured my attention, really enjoyed these books and what they said about human relationships, the human condition and seeking to overcome slavery and power over others. She definitely had great imagination.
Based on this if I can get hold of others I will be reading more by this author.

pickI‘m not really a huge fantasy fan, but I‘m also a list completist so I wanted to read a Le Guin book for #authoramonth.
I found this novella on Scribd. It‘s a coming of age story for Owen, who‘s seventeen and trying to figure out his place in the world.
It did feel a bit dated, and it‘s a very simple, slight tale but I still kind of liked it. A soft pick.

Full disclosure: Fantasy is not my thing. I‘m glad that #AuthorAMonth encouraged me to pick this up since it‘s considered a classic and one of those “books that everyone should read.” And I can appreciate the beauty of the writing—really, I can. But honestly? This book kind of bored me. Maybe it‘s because it‘s a middle-grade young-man-coming-of-age story and I‘m a middle-aged woman eying the retirement years? Thank goodness it was short. ✔️
A bit late, but here are my reading selections for June.

I sincerely doubt I'll get through all of these, but I'm going to finally crack into this chunkster for #authoramonth. I ADORE Ursula K. LeGuin!
@Soubhiville
Okay, so I‘m not actually digging into my #AuthorAMonth selection until a bit later in June, but since I stirred up so much controversy I thought I‘d pull my copy of this off the shelf now before I caused any more trouble 😅🤣 You ladies can let me know if you agree with my assessment or if I‘m just a wuss. 🤗💙 @BarkingMadRead @dabbe @Soubhiville
