I fell asleep with my timer going again 😬 I think I was at about 3 hours so will try again from 0 today and add 3 to it

I always love Robert McFarlane and this book of glossaries of landmark words from various British languages could have been hard to read but never was. His explanatory chapters were magical and have put a LOT of new books on my tbr.

This was my #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Overall I liked this. The writing was fantastic and the story was really good. But Jamie/James was pretty unlikable until the last 10-15 pages when he started making good choices. And that was only because things got easier for him. For most of the book he was arrogant, selfish and racist. Loved Pan, Sukey and Robert though.

It snowed here yesterday (finally!) so the kids have a snow day. That means I get to have a leisurely morning with coffee and a new book, my #doublespin pick!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. The book originally came to my notice as a Goodreads book club pic that I purchased but never got around to. I thought the title was appropriate for heading my #BookSpin list and I‘m glad it was my #DoubleSpin read. The story revolves around three childhood friends and their lives after the Earth is effectively sealed off from normal time/space.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ahhhhh oh my god!! I love this so, so much. It felt so authentic and the themes were so powerful—it‘s good. So, so good. And, this was my #doublespin #bookspin book! I hope next month‘s are just as good!

I'm finally going to read these two. They've been on my TBR list for awhile but I kept putting them off. Bare Bones is my #doublespin for #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Edwardian Gothic speculative tale, that gave me chills, I found some of the descriptions very similar to M.R. James fabulous ghost stories. An evil has been let loose in the Suffolk Fens; can Maud survive her fathers growing madness and the superstitions of the country to gain the freedom she desires.

I‘m 70% through the tagged book (requires quiet and concentration, neither of which I have in abundance). Might start one of the others today. Raven‘s Shadow is my #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks . And, naturally, I have a few more in the wings if I finish these or need something different. Looking forward to #24B4Monday with the always awesome hosts @Andrew65 @SumisBooks @jb72

About to dive into my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin book. I‘m a little nervous because I‘m seeing mixed reviews.

@TheAromaofBooks

Hello! Posting my list early for #bookspin and perhaps #doublespin too. I only replaced the books for this month's numbers. 😃
