pickI‘m a longtime fan, so it‘s no surprise I enjoyed this. Wilson does a great job maintaining the feel of the poetry using accessible language. I recommend this edition - and the 91 pages of introductory material is pretty awesome, too.

pickThis was the book I needed right now. A beautiful story of love, loss, ghosts, memory, grief and family. I couldn‘t put it down. 5⭐️
One of many #botm titles languishing unread on my shelves & I‘m sad I didn‘t pick this one up sooner. The bookmark with the note by Katie Cotugno says, “Stretch out someplace green & lose yourself in the luminous, haunted world of A Million June‘s — a deeply human story with a magical twist.” Perfect description ❤️
pickSomehow I've never read this classic, despite it being short and despite it being on my shelves for over a decade, since my husband owned this copy when we got married haha I'm not sure how Hemingway managed to make me completely engrossed in a story about an old man catching a fish, but he did - I could barely put this one down! The ending did make me rather mad, though, but most classics do haha
so-so3✨Retired police officer Archer is forced to retire because his wife shot his shooting hand right before she killed herself. While he tired to stop her he is riddled with guilt that she was attacked by The Lock Rapist. He wasn‘t able to catch him and he continues to terrorize. That‘s when Resa comes in to learn how to protect herself when she brought herself on the rapist radar. Dominio is glad she can get more cuddles now. #roll100 @PuddleJumper
Here's my list for #bookspin #bookspinbingo for Feb. So thankful for this challenge, as it has transformed my reading life!
This list also includes books for #booked2022 #literarycrew #NewYearWhoDis #AuthorAMonth #lmpbc13 #TBRDeckofCards #Roll100 #Netgalley and other book groups and challenges.
Boo-yah!! I got a bingo!!! Granted, three of the books in that row are middle-grade books, but my Covid brain needed some light reading. 😅 I also managed to read both my #BookSpin, #DoubleSpin AND both of my #Roll100 choices, so I‘m feeling rather accomplished. Starting The Wine of Violence today and still whittling away at the Ina May book. We‘ll see if I can pull a second bingo off, but I‘m not holding my breath. 😜
I‘m about to finish the tagged book. I‘m going to try to finish Silent Guardian which is my other #roll100 Then I am going to try to finish my two #LMPBC Books The Body in the Library and Wrapped up for Christmas. @Andrew65 @PuddleJumper
During the last few days of #JoyousJanuary, I'll be reading the picks for #Roll100. I should make good progress on Sunday when I do my official unplug (no tv, computer and phone). @Andrew65 @PuddleJumper

I originally wanted to read this book after watching the Netflix show, but quickly learned they‘re almost nothing alike. Still, it was a fascinating and often times humorous glimpse of the perceived lives of numerous peoples. Taking most of it with a large grain of salt (Polo is not the most trustworthy narrator) I was grateful for the slew of footnotes that explained/corrected his stories.
One of my #Roll100 books for January (number 24).
Got a Barnes and noble gift card for Christmas and finally spent it! The Firefly book is my other #Roll100 book and The Fragments was actually a #NewYearWhoDis book from @BookNAround 2 years ago!
