A short but powerful read with very scary statistics around birth and motherhood for black women in the UK. #booked2021 #antiracist

This was the only book on my shelf with a #MusicalInstrumentOnCover so had to be my choice for #booked2021 I wasn‘t too keen as I‘d tried to start it a few years back and given up but it was better than I expected. Found myself skimming over the descriptions of shipping stuff but liked the bits in between. Still not as enjoyable for me as others I‘ve read by him.

Cinfhen Glad you were able to use a book from your shelf ☘️too bad it wasn‘t a solid pick 3y

Pretty sure the author‘s motto is ‘why write one joke when you can write three in a row?‘ Every other sentence was a metaphor/simile/sarcastic comment and it was grating. The son with asperger‘s kept being blamed as the reason her dating life was unsuccessful but I‘m pretty sure it was mainly down to her. The son was the most likeable character!

smalldogs_bigbooks2419 That title really caught my attention. Bummer to hear it wasn‘t what you had hoped for. 3y
Helen19 @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 I just wanted more of an insight to the character with asperger‘s and felt it was more of a tale of the dating life of his mother! I totally get that people use humour to cope but it was like the author wanted a chance to show how funny she is. I grabbed it in the library for the same reason but it didn‘t work for me! 3y

Well… this was not the ‘book about books‘ I was expecting when the title caught my eye at the library! Comes with a lot of trigger warnings, a really heartfelt story about found family.

This is the fourth in a series and while none of them have been as good as the first, I am still enjoying and continuing them. I think I read this one after too long a gap though, I‘d forgotten a bit of the back story which probably would have made it even better. Read for #booked2021 #hear/here - creepy murders set in the city where I live!

Cinfhen I love a hometown setting & it‘s even better when the book is good too 😁 4y
Helen19 @Cinfhen My sense of direction is not great but even I could keep up with where the MC was most of the time!! 4y
Cinfhen I like when they mention local hangout spots or the mini market or pizza place / a long time ago, a neighbor wrote a book and she very thinly disguised names of places but it was SO EASY to pickup on where and who she was describing 😂like all the moms used to hang out at coffee planet and she renamed it coffee world and all the kids went to Miss Cathy‘s dance studio and she called it Ms. Katy‘s ballet studio. 4y

I didn‘t quite manage to finish this in April for #authoramonth but I‘m so glad I‘ve read it. The relationships in this book are beautiful and heartbreaking. There were many lumps in throat and needing tissue moments. I think I need to re-read the ending though, some of it was lost on me as I pushed through to finish whilst half nodding off!

Finishing this one a little late for #sundaybuddyread. I really liked it to begin with but the ‘disappearing‘ characters and plot lines brought it down a notch.

TheAromaofBooks The “so-so“ rating seems popular for this one... 4y
TheBookHippie @TheAromaofBooks It is accurate. For sure. A good edit would get it a better rating 😬 4y
TheAromaofBooks @TheBookHippie - sometimes one does wonder what an author's editor was even thinking - like... your job is to EDIT?! 😂 4y
TheBookHippie @TheAromaofBooks It seems to be worse as of late… in many books I‘ve read 🤦🏽‍♀️ 4y

Thankfully our libraries opened up just as I started this one - it made me desperate to go! Took my 20 month old for the first time since he was a little baby and he kept looking around saying ‘wow!‘ 😍 Arthur loves his digger book, I‘m not sure how he will react when I tell him we have to return it... #booked2021 library in title

Didn‘t expect to find myself on the side of a murderer but this book had me sort of rooting for the main character, wanting him to escape the life he was describing. #booked2021 Set in UN peacekeeping country.

Helen19 @Lucy_Anywhere I‘m on 22 🤦🏼‍♀️It‘s not even as though I‘m not enjoying it, I‘ve just committed to reading way too many other books which seem to get picked up first! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! And I'm a big fan of splitting up chunksters across multiple squares. It really helps me get through them sometimes! 4y
Helen19 @TheAromaofBooks I think it will be a good motivation. If I haven‘t read much more by May then my whole book spin list might be Bleak House next month 😂 4y

All the reviews and quotes say how ‘spellbinding‘ and ‘magical‘ this book is, which it was but the magic was mostly used to control and manipulate people and I found it more sinister and sad than spellbinding. A good read though! #booked2021 Author‘s name begins with A/B/C

Cinfhen Nice review/ the cover sucked me in but I didn‘t care for the story ☹️ 4y

I am loving the #booked2021 challenge for getting through books that have been on my shelf for years! Here‘s another for #SetInAustralia. I wonder how long it will take me to get to the next in the trilogy!

Helen19 @Cinfhen I am determined to take part in the challenge while trying not to buy any more new books. The COVID heroes one is causing me difficulties at the moment, regretting reading This Is Going To Hurt last year now 😂 4y

Cinfhen I looked and unfortunately all my #covidHero books were either on kindle or audio...sorry!! I can recommend a few that you might be able to borrow from the library....one that pops to mind is 4y
Cinfhen Your tagged book sounds excellent @BarbaraTheBibliophage ❤️ 4y
rockpools Do you do cozy mysteries, Helen? This was lots of fun, the main character‘s a retired nurse (so meets the prompt but no actual nursing involved) and (if I remember where you are) it‘s available from your local friendly public library in print (no reservation fees at the moment), audio (BorrowBox) or ebook (Libby) form! (Urr, yes, I might work for them 😉) 4y
Helen19 @Cinfhen that was so kind, thank you very much 😊❤️ right, time to go library browsing. Virtually! 4y
Helen19 @BarbaraTheBibliophage This sounds great! I‘m going to check library catalogues now. Thank you! I‘ve just joined the booked2021 goodreads group as well so that‘s going to help me get organised! 4y
Helen19 @rockpools I do! Actually I first looked at the category because I thought I had Death of a Nurse by M.C Beaton. Turns out I‘ve already read it and I don‘t think the nurse lasted very long! I can‘t see which book you‘ve tagged but I‘m interested! My back up plan is a Dr Ruth Galloway mystery although that‘s cheating a bit! 4y
rockpools @Helen19 oh yeah. I forgot to put the tag in. I could blame it being the end of a long day, but that‘d actually be rubbish!! 🙄 4y
Helen19 @rockpools I thought you were just adding to the mystery aspect 😉 Right, first plan is look for these suggestions in my library and if they don‘t arrive in time then I‘ll cheat with Elly Griffiths and read these ones when they get in! 4y
Helen19 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @rockpools So after all that I‘ve just found this one on my shelf with a nurse MC. All three of your suggestions added to my TBR list though, thank you! 4y

It took me a while to get into this, I think I probably need more plot-driven reads at a time when my life doesn‘t involve much plot! I was convinced that I didn‘t like any of these characters up until the last 50 pages when I was welling up, rooting for and worrying for some of them. It‘s been on my shelf for such a long time, now ticked off thanks to #authoramonth ! @Soubhiville

Caroline2 I‘ve had this on my shelf for ages too. 🙄 4y
Helen19 @Caroline2 If you‘re wanting fast paced reads then now is not the time to go for it but it was a good read. It would probably still be on my shelf if not for the challenge though! 4y

Just finished this for my IRL book club which has been postponed because every member just felt this week was too much! We have all enjoyed the book though! Some awful plantation scenes which were hard to read. Still can‘t decide if I‘m left feeling vaguely hopeful or desperately sad for the main character.
