1. Yes. I was going to guess 500 but decided to go ahead and count. Turns out we have 916 books currently. 😱 I don't know how that happened lol
2. I only finished like 4 books this month and they were all OK.

No one cheerfully refuses pie! Yesterday was Blueberry Pie Day, but I made a mixed fruit crumb top instead.
A break from all my backgrounds of spring flowers. My first Lief Enger; this is for the Tournament of Favorites. I volunteered to be an alternate judge.
1. My whole house is a library. 😂 LibraryThing says I have 18,346 physical books but that‘s a little high since I‘m trying to rehome some (although this count doesn‘t include my husband‘s books, so maybe it‘s not too far wrong).
2. I was pretty much guaranteed to like this one because I loved the first one. This one wasn‘t quite as amazing but still good.

pickA well-written book, but a bit too close to home with so much gaslighting.

#DynamicDs Day 30: My current read paired with my strawberry margarita and husband‘s strawberry mojito - what my weekend was like.
pickMy sister recommended this to me, and I really liked it. It‘s a translated dystopian story about a girl who grew up in an underground prison with 39 women. They have no idea why they are imprisoned. One day they hear sirens and the guards run off while the door is open, and they venture out into the world.
It‘s a short book but spans the MC‘s entire life. Strange and haunting.
pickInitially read this years ago, had almost forgotten how great it was - knew I liked it, but I hadn't remembered the intensity of the boys.
It was kismet that one of my co-workers (who saw me reading) had also randomly picked this one up! So we have been discussing too!
Picture from one of the protests (felt like it belonged here)

pickThis dystopian novel has become extra popular again because it was written in 1993 and is set in 2024-2027. Kinda like when I read 1984 (written in 1948) in 1986. This was a downer of a read and I ended up taking several weeks off at the midway point. It does provide some moments of hope and the MC is a likable heroine I readily cheered on.
My intermission made me fall WAY behind the #WithTheBanned BR hosted by @Jadams89
