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

This was a fun addition to the series… this time we‘re with Lulu Malone, a hardworking lawyer facing a personal and professional crisis and Dex MacLean, Renn Faire lover boy who is more than his reputation. They are a fun matchup but I did wish for a little more for Dex.#bookspinbingo #bookspin

First of all—the variety of covers for this is hilarious! I read a digital copy (top left) that makes it look like a ghost story or gothic thriller. I see where this image comes into the story, but—it‘s so exactly wrong that it‘s maddening. If I‘d found this as a kid, no doubt it would have been the Dell Yearling edition there on the bottom left. 😆 This was a sweet, nostalgic hug of a book. It‘s exactly the kind of book I‘d have loved as a kid ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d)—and I loved it as an adult. I completely resonated with that childhood magic of finding a perfect secret place that‘s all your own, where you can read and think and wonder. Even though I saw the ending coming, and it ties everything up far too neatly, I didn‘t care. This was a delight. Thank you to @TheAromaofBooks for this recommendation (several months back!!), and for pulling the right number to assign it as my April #BookSpin! 17h
BarbaraJean And… this is my 1965 pick for #192025. @Librarybelle 17h
Ruthiella That Dell cover looks familiar. Maybe I need it in elementary school? 🤔 17h

Librarybelle Thanks for posting the variety of covers - you‘re so right about the one looking spooky and gothic! 17h
LeahBergen I remember the bottom pink cover! 16h
willaful I have the pink cover. 😁 16h
TheAromaofBooks The bottom right is my cover - it's a small book and so perfect for reading!! I'm really happy you enjoyed this one - it's one of my childhood heart books, so I'm not remotely objective about it haha - but rereading it as an adult didn't lessen my love for it at all. I've tried reading a few of Snyder's other books, but haven't found any others that come remotely close to this one. 8h
