April wrap-up

@TheAromaofBooks Finished both my April spins: The Guest (#BookSpin) and A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World (#DoubleSpin).
Also finished a couple older spins: Murder at the Royal Ruby (March #DoubleSpin) and The Missing Children (Jan #BookSpin).
A couple months too late finished the Jan #RandomClassic: Uncle Tom's Cabin.
And got a #BookSpinBingo. 😀

Until done with my May list, here is the April final #BookSpinBingo board.

claudiuo @PuddleJumper Finished 2 #Roll100 Apr picks: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers and Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee, and a Feb pick: The Maple Murders by Micol Ostow. 11h

I can‘t remember where I found this book, but I enjoyed it way more than I expected. This was written at a time when stereotypes weren‘t kind, but liked the story between the two main characters. The mullet on the cover kills me though! 😂 😂

Ruthiella Business in the front, party in the back! 😂 1d
TheAromaofBooks I love the 80s habit of having the characters in the cover have various 80s things going on rather than attempting to make them actually match the era of the book. I have read several Grace Livingston Hill books (can you get milder romance than that??) originally published in the 20s with dramatic 80s covers and they always crack me up 22h
keys_on_fire @TheAromaofBooks Yes! I called out the mullet because your eyes are drawn there first, but the female model also has a much for 1980‘s ‘do 😂 I may have to look for the ones your mentioned! 21h

Perfect vacation read, except for the part that this is a virus gone wild mystery. Now I want to hibernate and avoid crowded spaces. Like work.

Seriously though, this was another solid Lucas Davenport novel and I loved seeing how Lucas and his daughter Letty interacted as professionals.

This fulfills my #DoubleSpin for #Bingo and it's a #SeriesLove2024.

I actually finished it! It took a year & a half of reading on & off & several false starts before that, but while I couldn‘t get it to sustain my attention consistently, I really loved this when I was actually reading it! The French history plot line went over my head & I can‘t seem to follow battle scenes, but I loved how suffused this was with progressive philosophy, raw emotion, & beautiful writing. I‘d totally make this a🏝️📖pick. #doublespin

slategreyskies Wow! I‘ve heard great things about this book. So much so, I‘ve even purchased a copy of it for my Kindle, but it feels kinda overwhelming to start. I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️ 3d
IndoorDame @slategreyskies I won‘t tell you how many years I had a copy sitting on my shelf unread before I even attempted it the first time 🤣 3d
TheBookHippie @slategreyskies @IndoorDame I read a chapter a day in 2020. It was my saving grace. One of my top ten favorite books of all time. I still have the print out if you want a copy @slategreyskies 😅😂🤣 3d

Ruthiella Well done! 👏👏👏 The actual story was good but all the digressions were very hard personally for me to get through! 😅 3d
dabbe Bravo! 🤩🤩🤩 3d
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I can imagine! 2020 was a lot like a 🏝️ 3d
IndoorDame @dabbe thanks! You finishing War and Peace was a huge inspiration for me to pick this up again in Jan. (That will not be my next intimidating book though. I need a break from scary Russian lit!) 3d
slategreyskies @IndoorDame I get that. I‘m not sure when I first purchased a copy, but this one gives me the side eye every time I purchase yet another chunkster when I haven‘t even started reading this one yet. 🤣 3d
slategreyskies @TheBookHippie I remembered how much you loved it, and I almost tagged you when I saw this post! 🤣 what sort of print out do you have? Is it notes or something? I already have a Kindle version of it, but I don‘t have a hard copy or notes yet. 3d
TheBookHippie @slategreyskies it‘s the daily reading schedule broken down 365 chapters - 365 days I did take extensive notes 😳🤭 I posted monthly summations as well on my blog that is essentially just for me. 😂😂😂😂 3d
wanderinglynn Congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🥂 That‘s an accomplishment. This book continues to sit on my TBR shelf. 😆 3d
slategreyskies @TheBookHippie I‘m not sure if I need the print out or not, but just out of curiosity, do you have a favorite translation/translator? I have the Christine Donougher translation. It looks good, I think. 3d
curiouserandcurioser @IndoorDame great accomplishment!! My daughter and I are in the midst of this and though it is taking us awhile, we both LOVE it:) 3d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic accomplishment!!!! 2d
