pick

3.5/5⭐️
This wasn‘t as good as I remember it being. I still liked it, but my memory of my last read was nicer than the rereading experience. It felt slow…but not a kind of good slow. I liked Margret and Agnes. Soft pick. I‘m looking forward to the discussion and insights from others.

Spin Around Space | Igloobooks

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is FOUR! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ELEVEN (so close to 12 😂)!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) having to double tag everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are a lot of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇
3w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/2TgEz5N3NLq3GyV56

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
3w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on this post. Happy reading!!!

Hester: A Novel | Laurie Lico Albanese

so-so

Started this with print and was really struggling to get through. I switched to audio and it was much easier to get through. The story of Isobel, a Scottish seamstress who ends up going to Salem. What I didn‘t catch from reading but came through much clearer in audio was that Isobel sees color in letters and in a time where this could get you killed. It‘s a story of perseverance and friendship. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle

Librarybelle It‘s good to know that the audio is easier to get through than the print—I actually still have a little bit to read of this, and it‘s not as engaging as I had hoped it would be. 3w

Sargar114 @Librarybelle I was having the same issue, I would recommend switching then. The narrator does a Scottish brogue and it works well while she also does the male voices which I always find kind of weird. But audio was much better to get through. I ended up enjoying it overall, probably 3.5 if I‘m gonna be technical. 3w

Librarybelle Very good to know! 3w

The Chelsea Girls | Fiona Davis

It‘s time for our #LiteraryCrew discussion! I have 7 questions posted as spoilers; you can find these on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

I think this is my favorite of Davis‘s I‘ve read so far. Hope you enjoyed it too!

TheBookHippie I enjoyed this read very much -

This Cold Heaven: Seven Seasons in Greenland

TheBookHippie This one as well

The Ice at the End of the World: An Epic Journey Into Greenland's Buried Past and Our Perilous Future

TheBookHippie Greenland is the world's largest island, not a continent, and is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. While part of North America geographically, it has strong cultural and historical ties to Europe, particularly Norway and Denmark. 3w

See All 12 Comments

TheBookHippie Nuuk, Greenland's capital, is a small city on the country's southwest coast. Its large fjord system is known for waterfalls, humpback whales and icebergs. The waterfront is dotted with brightly colored houses against the backdrop of Sermitsiaq mountain. Greenland National Museum has mummies and Inuit skin boats, while the Nuuk Art Museum displays local works. The Katuaq cultural center offers films, concerts and art.

TheBookHippie Greenland's education system includes primary, secondary, and higher education levels, with a 10-year compulsory primary education for children aged 6-16. While education is free, including university, and students may receive a monthly grant, challenges remain in quality and completion rates, particularly at the secondary and higher education levels. 3w

Jerdencon I really enjoyed this one! But I love all her books! 3w

PurpleyPumpkin I really enjoyed this book! It reminded me of The Briar Club, but went in a different direction. A definite pick for me!👍🏽 3w

Sargar114 Good pick, thank you for hosting! 3w

Sargar114 @PurpleyPumpkin agree there are similarities to the Briar Club, especially with it being the same time period. Still working my way through that one but I like the artsy feel of this one. 3w

julieclair So, I was 2/3 through and loving it. Then the library wouldn‘t let me renew. 😭 So I‘m back on the waitlist and will finish whenever. 😕 3w

PurpleyPumpkin @Sargar114 Yes, definitely enjoyed the artsy side of this one!🙌🏽 3w

Karisa @PurpleyPumpkin Agreed! Definitely has some parallels with Briar Club (house, women MCs, red scare). I liked both 😊 3w
