#SpringSkies #BkClubRead
I‘m hosting the April/May round of the blogger virtual foodie book club I belong to & the tagged book is what I selected for our #BookClubRead 🔪💙 (Mostly because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it! I‘m excited to start reading & open up the #OUABC gifts!) 😉🤗
#ItTakesAllKinds
Some #Fantasy titles from my way out of control #TBR These are also some of my #OnceUponABookClub titles which means they also have wrapped gifts. Hoping the next #Roll100 picks one to push me through some #OUABC boxes!
#ItTakesAllKinds
The #OnceUponABookClub box for February that I received yesterday has this book about the Vietnam #War
I have avoided Kristin Hannah books & many war books because I have to be in the *right* mood for sad stories & that‘s been harder lately. But hey, the #OUABC box includes 4 mystery gifts to open while reading so I may have to dip in soon.😉
I gifted myself the Up All Night Box from #OnceUponABookClub because it‘s a fun way to celebrate New Year‘s Eve & I like the 40 book challenge which if you complete the poster (in the tube), they send you a free book. Although haven‘t opened it up yet, I got a sneak peek of the challenge on StoryGraph & coincidently, the tagged book that I received this weekend for completing the 2023 challenge, fits prompt #32: “A book with a playlist” 📚💚
Pretty happy with my November reading as I finished 17 books! 🎉📚🎉 They weren‘t necessarily the books in my November TBR as I made a mid-month decision to try to complete the #BOTM challenge & the #OnceUponABookClub 40 book challenge this year & switched out books. I am on track to finish both in December.
I finished my #SundayBuddyRead #JaneAdjacent & #ChildrensClassicsRead2023 #NancyDrewBR books & one for my virtual foodie book club too.⬇️

I have a #OnceUponABookClub YA box for this #Wicked title but have not gotten around to reading it yet. I had to order it based on the “Ethiopian-inspired debut fantasy retelling on Jane Eyre” blurb. Now that this prompt has put it front of mind, I may have to move it up closer to the top of the stack! 🤦🏻♀️

pick4✨ A story of fiction with ties to a real Indian tribe of the Kiowas. This mystery starts when Mud returns home after a decade when she gets a confusing and concerning message from her grandfather. I like that the author provides real insight to customs and appreciation of elements that are held dear to her tribe. While I was not always hooked to the story this was a great story. #OnceUponABookClub Dice was too cute laying there. 😍💛
pick4✨ I really enjoyed some of the POVs that were in different time lines. I struggle being engaged with time jumping books, but this one was not too bad. I appreciate when authors separate the points of view by chapter which did happen her. We follow each character through their life, but we also have a connection with ancestry. #OnceUponABookClub
