This is a low pick for me. I think it just dragged in places. And maybe nothing is wrong with the book-perhaps I had built it up in my mind and then it just didn‘t live up to the expectations that I had!

#bookspinbingo - this is my #doublespin for this month

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 59m

Bree‘s destiny as a Scion of Arthur is under threat when the Order doesn‘t want to acknowledge her claim, & a mysterious Hunter that has been chasing her ancestors appears.

An intense roller coaster of a sequel! The world gets fleshed out a lot more, we got more of the magic, & Bree making connections outside of the Order. I do find myself impatient w/ the love triangle, & I‘m not a fan of cliffhangers. But I‘m excited for book 3!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Just passed halfway there was a twist I absolutely didn‘t see coming. It made the backstory details all the more interesting. This story didn‘t end anything like I expected a thriller/mystery to end, and I‘m going to be thinking about that for a while.

December #DoubleSpin Category: Mystery/Thriller

And thank you @TheAromaofBooks for inspiring me to ‘shop‘ in my own bookshelves for another year!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5d

“I want you to know the story of how you came to be and to understand why I had to do what I did. I know that some of the things I did were crazy, Some people thought that I went too far, that I became unhinged."

Well done Goodman! I‘m excited to read more of her books ? This is my December #doublespin

My February #DoubleSpin pick was this historical romance novel. I‘d never read Beverly Jenkins before. What a treat! Credit goes to my alma mater for hosting a discussion of romance novels through a critical/intersectional lens, and including this one on their list. Jenkins‘s afterword describing her research made me want to read the others in this trilogy. (I‘m not a big fan of romances or westerns, so that‘s saying something!)

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w

This was a very unique read! I hadn‘t read anything like it before.

It blends fact and fiction to create a “history” of animals starting from the Paleozoic Era all the way to present day and beyond. Basically it personifies animals and tells their story in relation to humans. The animals are presented in a very human way.

4½✨

Another excellent, suspenseful thrill that kept me on the edge of my seat, and up way too late. Meyer just gets better, and better as he goes.

My full Afrikaans review is on StoryGraph and Goodreads

While Schönhaus' story of living in Berlin under the Nazi regime as a Jewish document forger is interesting, the writing was just so, so bad.

88/80
