This was my #bookspin book forApril. I found the characters to be unlikeable and did not enjoy the writing style. By the halfway point I was just skimming through it. ⭐️⭐️

I just finished my February #bookspin title, better late then never! ☺️

Slow to start, I almost gave up less than halfway through. But since I am reluctant to DNF any book I pushed through and was pleasantly surprised by a wonderfully poignant second half. The writing is lovely and the descriptions of Cornwall itself are so vivid and add to the atmospheric nature of the book. I especially enjoyed reading about young Olivia during WWII. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

When Jasmine Blooms | Tif Marcelo

Mehso-so

When her daughter dies, Celine, a successful life coach throws her self into her work unable to deal with her grief. Her family stages an intervention that takes an unexpected turn and catapults Celine into an alternate reality of 'what if'. I'm a sucker for a pretty cover and this one is so gorgeous that I couldn't resist. A light, easy breezy read that lacked the tug at the heartstring moments I was expecting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookspin

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 6mo

Lulu is a successful psychotherapist, recently married to Nick. But Nick has a troubled past and as Lulu offers to help him face his childhood trauma, she uncovers a disturbing and frightening side to the man she loves. Fast paced thriller with a somewhat predictable story line. I was disappointed that the ending did not have the 'shocking twist' promised on the cover. Nonetheless entertaining and perfect as a beachy/one sitting read. #doublespin

This story of two suburban stay at home mothers had me hooked from the first few lines! It was a relatively short and fast paced page turner with unreliable characters and numerous twists and turns that had me constantly second guessing myself. A thoroughly enjoyable read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing a digital copy in return for an honest, unbiased review.

The Hatching: A Novel | Ezekiel Boone

Panpan

Who would say no to creepy killer spiders, global Except for a variety of descriptions of how the creepy spiders are attacking and random relationship tidbits of the characters, nothing else happens. This book is part of a trilogy so the author naturally leaves something for the other books in the series, but for goodness sake you need to give the reader some story/character development. Disappointing. ⭐️⭐️ #doublespin

This slow burn thriller mystery, set in a gothic Italian villa with a mysterious true crime past was just what I needed to get me out of the reading slump that has plagued me over the last year. I enjoyed the dual timeline storytelling and the narration was excellent. This is the perfect beachy, vacation read. #bookspin

I‘ve been working on new book sleeves for the Etsy shop but had a question for those of you who purchase book sleeves - what size sleeve to you most commonly buy? I offer 3 sizes: small (7 x 9 in), medium (8 x 10 in) and large (9 x 11 in). Thank you in advance for all your responses!

TheSpineView I like the large ones because it will fit the bigger hardcover books. 2y
Megabooks I have mostly larges but a handful of mediums too. I don‘t buy the smalls. 2y
TheBookHippie I have large and medium equally. Small I have two one for signet one for kindle. 2y

Last year was an abysmal reading year so to make sure 2022 doesn‘t turn out the same I‘m trying to force myself to read (or in this case listen to) 1 book a week. This is book #2 of 2022. The story seems good just don‘t know if I‘ll survive the narrator‘s voice and reading style. 📚🎧🤔

Not exactly a book post but I have a question for all you wonderful Littens. I will be reopening my Etsy shop in the new year, selling padded book sleeves, fabric bookmarks and eventually other bookish related items. When searching for book sleeves or bookmarks, what words would you use in your searches? What are some keywords or tags that you would associate with these items? All your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you! 💕

CBee That‘s exciting! Can‘t wait to check out your shop 😊 Some tags I‘d probably use when searching: bookmark, book sleeve or book pouch, maybe bookish gifts? I‘ve typed in book sleeve before and gotten lots of hits. Good luck 🍀💚 2y

AmyG Let us know when it‘s back up. I have used the searches that the others posted. With bookmarks many times I am looking for specific ones-characters, authors etc and then I type i.e. Stephen King bookmarks. (edited) 2y
Karkar I usually use booksleeve as one word 🤪 book pouch book protection 2y
TheSpineView I like monogrammed stuff so I usually use book sleeve monogrammed or book sleeve pet design. Same with bookmarks and I sometimes search by color or use a seasonal prompt i.e. Halloween themed book sleeve. 2y
