🌧️ April Reads 🌧️ April was a little weird for me. My mood reading was in full force. I started 12 different books and kept putting them down for various reasons, so I ended up only finishing 5 😅 • • • 🎧 Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun: 5 ⭐️ a fun read like the previous two, I enjoyed the audiobook 🎧 The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder: 4 ⭐️ Heartbreaking but such an interesting read, I really enjoyed the POV and the sequence in which the story was told. 🎧 The Unmaking of June Farrow: 5 ⭐️ this was perfect. Please read it. Or listen to it. I loved the audiobook. 📖 Six of Crows: 5 ⭐️ I loved the story, the POV’s, the relationships. I was fully invested from chapter 1. 🎧 A Gathering of Shadows: 4 ⭐️ I thought this one was a little more interesting and faster paced than the first book What were your 5 star reads in April? • • • #bookstagram #aprilreads #moodreader #bookish #monthlywrapup #books
April was the month of Throne of Glass apparently haha (which is funny because six months ago was the month of another long series that put me into a huge reading slump afterwards). I just finished reading the last book of the series so I’ll make a dedicated post about my thoughts soon! #aprilreads #readingwrapup #throneofglass #bookrecommendations
Happy pub day to another wonderful book by the unbeatable duo. These two always have the best releases for many reasons. While it wasn’t my favorite, l loved it nonetheless. 🌻📚 Book Review 📚🌻: THE PARADISE PROBLEM 🏝️👗 by Christina Lauren RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ GR Rating: 4.29 FIRST QUOTE: The day my husband moves out of our apartment is also the day Resident Evil Village releases for PlayStation, and you might be surprised which of these things lands with a greater emotional impact. THOUGHTS: As I started to read this I got major vibes from a book that I had finished not too long ago by Meghan Quinn so I struggled a bit to get into it but as usual with Christina Lauren’s books I fell hard. Anna and Liam’s story was such a joy to read for so many reasons and obviously the SMUT was enjoyable as well…because who doesn’t love that? Also the descriptions of the island that they were on through the majority of the book sounds divine! I could just imagine myself right there with them. Can someone please take me there! RECOMMENDED IF YOU LOVE: - The Unhoneymooners - Marriage of Convenience - Fake Marriage - Tropical Vacation - Bridesmaid for Hire QOTD ❓❔: have you ever traveled to a paradise of any sort?

📚 April Reading Recap 📚 . Managed to complete all my reading goals last month! I finished 10 books, which puts me 6 books ahead of my yearly goal; I read from my TBR; as well as reading some of my physical books. I’m also so glad that I switched to using a full page for my monthly bookshelf because I would have definitely overfilled the smaller ones that I was using. There were a lot of books that I started this month, and unfortunately, between an unplanned week-and-a-half trip plus getting sick, I wasn’t able to complete them. . My favorite read this month was a series- the Nell Ward series by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett(A Murder of Crows is the first book; Dr Nell Ward is an ecologist who ends up the prime suspect in a murder and needs to use her skills as an ecologist to solve the murder and clear her name. I absolutely loved this series and I’ve read 4/5 books in it so far. ), but a close second is the Ms Marvel comics, which I read the first volume of this month. . Stationery Used: Acorn and Crow notebook, @zebrapen_usa Mildliners, @staedtler Triplus Fineliners, @sakuraofamerica Pigma Microns, Washi Tape (I’m afraid I don’t remember where I got the stickers from, I picked them up at a thrift/antique store while traveling) . . . #handlettering #aprilreads #aprilrecap #readingjournal #journaling #planner #bulletjournalcommunity #whatimreading #reading #booklover #bookcommunity #bookblogger #readersofig #bookstagram #booksta #bookworm
🌼 APRIL READS 🌼 I’m two weeks late, but here’s what I read in April: 🎧 5 audiobooks 📱 2 e-books 📖 1 physical book 5 ⭐️ Just for the Summer Happily Never After 4.5 ⭐️ The Dead Romantics 4 ⭐️ Better Than the Movies Late Bloomer More Than Words The Perfect Marriage Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect No rating because I don’t like to rate memoirs: Leslie F*cking Jones
It's halfway through May so here is what I read in April. Social Media can be a little on the depressing side so it takes a lot more motivation to post something. I read nine books and DNF'd one. Books and ratings: Alice by Christina Henry- dark fantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 The Empty Grave by Jonathan Stroud- YA supernatural fantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Queen's Rising by Rebecca Ross- fantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Secret Service of Tea and Treason by India Holton- romantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Hanging City by Charlie N. Holmberg- Romantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anatomy by Dana Schwartz- YA dark fantasy ⭐⭐⭐1/2 Foxglove by Adalyn Grace- fantasy ⭐⭐⭐ Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong- Thriller/mystery ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty- fantasy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book I DNF'd at 45%: Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon- fantasy. The whole book revolved around the Enemies to lovers/arranged marriage tropes so I found the whole thing a bit confusing and boring.
📚🅑🅞🅞🅚 🅡🅔🅥🅘🅔🅦📚 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢 𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐧 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Book #47 of 2024 One wrong word can ruin your life. And no one knows that better than savvy crisis management expert Arden Ward. Problem is, she's now forced to handle a shocking crisis of her own. Unfairly accused of having an affair with a powerful client, Arden’s life and dreams are about to crash and burn. Then, Arden is given an ultimatum. She has just two weeks to save her career and her reputation. Gossip. Lies. Rumors. Words like that can hurt you. And Arden knows the reality. Sometimes one wrong word can kill. This is my second book by @hankpryan . She takes her time to build up the plot especially through interesting but sometimes weird conversations ultimately connecting to a larger story in the end. It is important to pay attention to the spoken words as they unravel a whole lot of lies and deceit. It does take a dramatic turn halfway through with unexpected twists, red herrings and a game of cat and mouse leading to a perfectly tied up finale. The characters are flawed, complex, unreliable and unlikeable but still relatable and greatly contribute to the mystery. Do I recommend this book? Yes. This was #botm @feelthereadbookclub for April and I enjoyed our 'end of the month' discussion. #qotd - Do you have a favourite word or phrase you keep saying? Or Predictive text - One Wrong Word and you....

March & April reads 📚 Emily One Day by David Nicholls 3/5 (not pictured as I left in a @littlefreelibrary ) “I didn’t love this, I found the protagonists really annoying.” Soul Comfort for Cat Lovers by Liz Eastwood 4/5 “This brought me a lot of comfort during a difficult time. Would recommend for anyone who has sadly lost their cat.” Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa 4/5 “This was such a vibe, wish I had my own bookshop.” Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson 3/5 “Some of this just didn’t land, I found it weird how modern some of the Gods speech was.” Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert 4/5 “This film is gonna be a wild ride.” Chloe Good Material by Dolly Alderton 2/5 “Me saying this should actually be called bad material is funnier than anything that happens in this book. The last 5% does not make up for the insufferable 95% (also some plot inconsistencies!!). Maybe that’s the point but it does not translate well into enjoyable fiction.” Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne 4/5 “A great YA read that dealt maturely with some serious subject matter.” The Future of Geography by Tim Marshall 4/5 “This didn’t make me any less scared of space let’s just say that. It was informative if a little repetitive at times but a gives accessible insight into something hugely complex.” Less by Andrew Sean Greer 5/5 “Loved it. Loved Arthur. Loved the vibes. Left me smiling.” Ghost Lover by Lisa Taddeo 4/5 “I enjoyed the stories even if the writing didn’t really distinguish between the voices of all the different characters.” The Family Holiday by Elizabeth Noble 3/5 “Took nearly 200 pages for them to actually get on holiday. Most of the story rested on cliche’s and nothing really dramatic happened? Just felt like a normal holiday?” Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson 3/5 “So Hercules is built and kind of an arsehole.. and?” I’m Rich, You’re Poor by Shabaz Ali 4/5 “An informative and accessible take on how social media is impacting different aspects of our modern lives. The audio book took it to another level #povvogang” #books #marchreads #aprilreads #bookstgram #bookstgrammer #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #booksbooksbooks #bookstore #bookshop #instabooks
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard ⚔️ I originally read Red Queen a few years ago. I absolutely loved the first book, but I didn't end up reading book #2 right away. After a while, it felt like it had been so long that I just kept putting it off because I couldn't remember all the details 😂 After unwrapping Glass Sword in my wrapped tbr challenge, I knew it was time to reread book #1, so I did! Red Queen is still a 5 🌟 read for me. Even after rereading it, I found myself just as interested as the first time around. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for book #2. I decided to give it 3.75 (rounded to 4) 🌟 I am really hoping that they were just paving the way for the remainder of the series because 85% of Glass Sword was just them running around 😂😂 I did find the ending interesting & I'm looking forward to see what happens with our main characters! ❓️ Have you ever DNFd a series after loving the first book? Or what series fell flat for you? I am still remaining optimistic about this series because of my love of book one. Don't get me wrong, book two wasn't awful just a lot of running around 😂😂 🏷 #redqueenseries #redqueen #series #bookseries #wrappedtbrchallenge #wrappedtbr #tbrwrapped #tbr #tbrpilekeepsgrowing #bookishcommunity #bookish #bookcommunity #bookreviews #april #aprilreads

Five books read in April but some really fun ones for me. Still not settled on my rating for Butter so maybe by the end of the year I’ll have a consistent opinion. 🤔 * The Wager by David Grann * Study for Obedience by Sarah Bernstein * Butter by Asako Suzuki (translated by Polly Barton) * Chlorine by Jade Song * Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt #books #bookstagram #booklover #aprilreads #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #reading #readinglist #storygraph #goodreads #illustration #artist #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #procreate
April Reads 📆📚 April was a great reading month for me! I had two weeeks of school holidays, which was great to spend more time reading. I read four books in total. And I’m super excited to read Bride next month, which just arrived in the mail! QOTD: What was your favourite read in April? #aprilreads #april #books #bookstagram #bookstagrams #bookstagrammer #booksta #bookworm #booklover #fyp
Used April’s long weekends to read, read, read!!✨ A Life’s Work, Rachel Cusk 4/5 ⭐️ — raw, brutally honest take on motherhood and postpartum. Recommended for moms who are in the thick of the postpartum tunnel, and for people who want to have an idea what the first phases of motherhood look like. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Ocean Vuong 4/5 ⭐️ — my second LGBTQ read, masakit :( lalo na yung about sa mom and grandmom nya who are suffering from PTSD from the Vietnam war. Napakagaling magsulat ni Ocean considering that English is not his vernacular. Kamogawa Food Detectives, Hisashi Kashiwai 3.5/5 ⭐️ — recommended for those who want to start reading!!! Ang lighthearted lang ng story :) If namimiss mo yung food na niluluto ng mga tao na unfortunately wala na satin, you’ll enjoy this read. Diary of a void, Emi Yagi 3.5/5 ⭐️ — Thought provoking and defiant!!! Ang ganda ng premise mapapaisip and mapapabasa ka talaga ng mabilisan kasi gusto mo ma answer yung “pano nangyari yun???” The Little Liar, Mitch Albom 5/5 ⭐️ — My favorite author’s comeback book!!! Haaay ang rich talaga magsulat ni Mitch Albom!! Parang warm hugs talaga yung mga libro niya 🥺 Ang ganda ng ginawa nya na narrator yung “Truth” — ang daming naopen na dialogue na mapapa — shucks ang ganda ka at mapapahinto para namnamin yung binasa mo 😭 —— Salamat if nabasa mo hanggang dito!! You can get these books online at https://fullybooked.sjv.io/ayualano :) I’ll be able to get a small commission without any fees from you! Thank you for supporting my reading content! @_fullybooked @yunareads_ #aprilreads
Super delayed with this as we are heading towards May quickly lol - I had a super good month with lots of 5 stars for me (all my faves were 5 stars!) City of Lies and Legends by @kaylaedwardsauthor Behind the Broken by @chloecpenaranda A Touch of Chaos by #scarlettstclair Beautiful Carnage by the twisted sisters Flawless by @authorelsiesilver Heartless by @authorelsiesilver Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole I have to say the biggest surprise for me was the way Chestnut Springs took over my life - I did not think this series would be for me and boy did I surprise myself 🤣 Are any of these on your TBR or a fave?!
April’s literary journey: a stack of worlds explored, characters met, and stories cherished. Here’s to the books that colored my month. 📚 . . #aprilreads #bookishadventures #booknerd #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #booksofig #booksofinstagram
Hello lovelies! I’m a bit late (says 13 days late 😭) for my April Wrap-Up, but April was … something 🥲. Anyways, here’s the Wrap-Up! I read 7 books with no DNF’S! ღ The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 ღ The Guest List by Lucy Foley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25 ღ The Stolen Heir by Holly Black ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 ღ Final Girls by Riley Sager ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ღ Lock Every Door by Riley Sager ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ღ The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 ღ One by One by Freida McFadden ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25 🏷️ #aprilreads #readingwrapup #bookstagram #simonestjames #lucyfoley #hollyblack #rileysager #freidamcfadden #thebookofcoldcases #theguestlist #thestolenheir #finalgirls #lockeverydoor #thelasttimeilied #onebyone #folkoftheair
running very late for April books but here we go (again) Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun: 5/5 this is my new favorite book and I absolutely love it. This book made me wish I were gay. It also made me laugh and cry on an airplane, and I really really hope you read it. Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez: 4/5 this is another winner by Abby, and I really liked most of it. If you read it, let me know because there is one spoiler-y thing I really would like to complain about! What The River Knows by Isabel Ibañez: 2.5/5 the river ain’t know shit. I want the book that the title and cover promised me! I read this for the Just Fine Book Club. Funny Story by Emily Henry: 4.5/5 this might be my new favorite Emily Henry. I’m always on board with fake dating and this was great! Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: 3/5 I read this for April Hates for the Craft Beer Girls Book Club. Is it toxic and terrible? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Am I biased because I read it when I too was an angsty teenager? Yes. Do I love the Twilight Shitposting group more than the books? Yes. did Stephenie Meyer really appropriate Quileute lore without compensation? Yes. Is the Quileute Tribe living in a tsunami zone? Yes, but you can help: mthg.org A Light Through The Cracks - A Climber’s Story by Beth Rodden: 4/5 I’m still reading this one, but I am enjoying it a lot. It’s fascinating to hear about her incredible accomplishments (and first sends) in climbing, but it also really makes me miss climbing. I can unfortunately relate to Beth’s perfectionism. It’s taking me a while because it’s hard to read about her mental health struggles, disordered eating, and post-kidnapping PTSD, but I hope to finish it soon. #aprilreads #aprilhates #bookstagram #movetohigherground

April Reads! 1. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout: #1 of the Blood and Ash series and 5+⭐️, so, so good!!! Fantasy series with enemies to lovers, amazing world building, major action, and sweet friendships. 2. Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by JLA, Blood and Ash #2, just keeps getting better! 3. The Crown of Gilded Bones by JLA, Blood and Ash #3, amazing! 4. The War of Two Queens, Blood and Ash #4, the best yet, deeply invested 😆 5. A Soul of Ash and Blood by JLA, Blood and Ash #5- this was basically a retelling of book one but from Casteel’s POV. There were about 12 chapters of present day mixed in, and it still added so much to the series. DO NOT skip this one, you will regret it!! Counting down the days until #6! 6. Did You Miss Me? By Karen Rose: I can’t get enough of Karen Rose’s books! Amazing police procedural series that just keeps getting better. If you are a fan of Lisa Gardner or Allison Brennan- these books are for you! 7. Watch Your Back by Karen Rose- another great book in her Romantic Suspense series 8. Closer Than You Think by Karen Rose- such a fun one about an FBI agent and a psychologist who is running from her stalker and ends up being a serial killers new #1 focus What did you read last month? Drop them down in the comments!! #fantasy #bookstagram #romantasy #books #readers #reading #frombloodandash #karenrose #policeprocedurals #crimebooks #booksilove #aprilreads

Heyyy! Long time no read. I took a little break from reading to focus on uni assignments. But now that they are all done (for now lol) it’s back to reading for pleasure yey. We’re diving back in with some books I’ve been dying to read: Happy place by Emily Henry - had some mixed experiences with Emily Henry but this one sounds sooo good. I’ve been waiting for it to come out on paperback and the time has finally come haha. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid - this one has been sat on my bookshelf since last September. However I’ve been saving this for the summer to get all the vibes so I’m very excited. One Day by David Nicholls - I bought this back when the Netflix show just came out at a train station. I had really big plans to read it on a 3 hour train journey, but instead fell asleep the whole way there 🤦♀️. Despite that massive fail, I am SO excited to read this it sounds right up my street and very excited to share my thoughts (and finally watch the TV show) Comment below if you’ve read any of these 📚 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #swiftie #bookstagramuk🇬🇧 #bookgirlie #bookstack #bookstagrammer #weekendreading #eveningreading #booklove #bookrecs #booksbooksbooks #bookrecommendations #aprilreads #2024bookreleases # #morningreading #ttpd #thetorturedpoetsdepartment

Alright friends, the winter school semester has ended, and I managed to scrape through my economics course with a semi respectable grade. With that done, it means I can get back to my fun books and actually enjoy when I am reading instead of learning about math. Bleh. Despite not having a lot of time to read, I managed to power through some shorter novels and finish off with 9 books completed. First off, a quick note that I am completely obsessed with Lyla Sage’s Done and Dusted in an unhealthy way, but that will be devoted to a separate post so I can give it the respect it deserves. Which leads me to my most surprising read of April, Of Mice and Men. It’s not that I don’t know John Steinbeck is a spectacular author, but in my mind, I had imagined that teenage depressed me who first read Of Mice and Men in high school, must have applied my current emotional state to the novel and made it more tragic than it really is. However, big NOPE. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, this was not the case. His novel was every bit as heart wrenching as I remembered. I felt viscerally distraught and uncomfortable as the story progressed, and I so desperately wanted to jump into the story and shake some of the characters shoulders and tell them that it doesn’t have to be this way. Instead, I am just left with an incredible story of loneliness, broken dreams and hardship during the great depression. On a final note: Just a heads up these books that I have either bought or have my eye on are currently on sale: -Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage on for $18.94 from $24.95 (Amazon CAN) -Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage on for $21.11 from $24.95 (Amazon CAN and Indigo CAN) -Bride by Ali Hazelwood on for $14.99 from $25.99 (Amazon CAN) -Butcher and Blackbird on for $20.00 from $24.95 (Amazon CAN) -When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker on for $20.00 from $25.99 (Indigo CAN) -The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes on for $9.99 from $15.99 (Mosaic Books) Signed Copies -This Summer Will be Different by Carley Fortune $24.95 at Mosaic -Masters of Death by Olivie Blake $35.99 at Mosiac Happy reading!

🌾 huhtikuun kirjat 🌾 april reads on vähän venähtänyt, mutta nyt vihdoin koostetta <3 Huhtikuussa luin 4 kirjaa ja kuuntelin 2 ✌️ Elinor Cleghorn: Sairas ja viallinen - naiset lääketieteen historiassa 🎧 (4✨) Tove Jansson: Kesäkirja (5✨) Christiane F. : Huumeasema Zoo Toni Morrison: Jazz (2,5✨) Bernardine Evaristo: Tyttö, nainen, toinen 🎧 (4,5✨) Jane Austen: Järki ja tunteet (4✨) Kuukauden kirjat olivat tosi hyviä ❤️ Pidin molemmista äänikirjoista; ne olivat tunteita herättäviä ja koukuttavia. Kesäkirja oli ihana <3 En voi muuta kuin suositella. Etenkin kesällä. Ja etenkin saaristossa. Huumeasema Zoo oli aiheeltaan mielenkiintoinen, mutta kirjoitustyyli alkoi jossain kohdassa väsyttää, kuten myös raskas aihe. Jazz oli mielenkiintoinen, ja olen iloinen että luin sen. Se oli kuitenkin aika hämmentävä lukukokemuksena, enkä osaa sanoa, että kenelle sitä suosittelisin 😄 Jane Austen on luotto "comfort read", eikä reread tälläkään kertaa ollut huono päätös. Kokonaisuudessaan siis hyvä lukukuukausi 🌷 Tässä kuussa on tullut lueskeltua paljon (viimisten opiskelujuttujen ohella) ja perjantaina alkaa kuukauden interreili balkanilla 👀🔥 Ootteko lukenut näitä kirjoja, ja mitä piditte? ✌️ 🌾 Elviira

“You don't have to like everyone, but you don't have to be a jerk about it, either.” What is worse than being the new kid at school? Being one of a handful of minorities at that school. Especially when it feels that your classmates and teachers have no diversity training or awareness. One teacher is so incentive to diversity that she can't bother to keep the names of the students straight (as in calling all of the black boys by the same name - never seeing the insult of the racism in their not bothering to recognize the boys as individuals.) Jordan was very nervous about attending this new private school that focouses on academics. Not because he isn’t up to the challenge, but because art is his first love - and he’s very good at it. His own cartoons and drawings are how he expresses himself. But when the art teacher's interest is more toward modern art Jordan wonders if there is anything that he can do right? On top of his school challenges Jordan is faced with the judgements of his friends from his old school that didn’t get to switch to a new, private school and who are questioning Jordan’s alliances. In this terrific Graphic Novel Jordan struggles with the challenges of being the new kid, trying to fit in and make friends (regardless of race), on top of the everyday struggles that all of us experience during our middle school years. New Kid is an excellent book for middle grade readers. A book that is funny, clever and very, very real. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For more book reviews and recommendations follow me at #EmptyNestReader #instagram #Goodreads #NewKid #JerryCraft #NewberryAwardWinner #MiddleSchool #fiction #AprilReads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramalabama #bookstagrammichigan #bookreviews #bookreviewer #bookrecommendations #readalittlelearnalittlelivealittle #GraphicNovel #5starbooks #ReadBannedBooks #StopBookBanning
💎 All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr 💎 . My book club chose this highly rated WWII novel for our April read, and most of us were left disappointed. I can certainly see the acclaim -- lots of good symbolism, technically proficient and descriptive world building, and an empathetic view of humanity make this book shine. But overall it ended up a bit boring for most of us. . With dual perspectives, both MCs were unique and well-developed but not every leg of their journey was altogether interesting. The short chapters made the pace quick, but the audiobook listeners in the group found it a bit confusing with the constant back and forth of perspective without a unique voice to distinguish them. The story was slow moving until it wasn't, then it was whiplash trying to understand every detail of the climax. The MCs meeting was a bit underwhelming, but some liked the messaging at the end of the novel. . We all agreed on about ⭐⭐⭐. Good but not great. I personally would not have made it through the book without accountability of reading buddies. . Has anyone else read this? What were your thoughts? I have always heard amazing things about this book, so I was shocked that so many in my club agreed on a lower rating. I'm interested to hear more perspectives. . #allthelightwecannotsee #anthonydoerr #historicalfiction #bookclub #bookclubofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #aprilreads #mayreads

📚 𝙱𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠 📚 The Things We Left Unfinished This was #litbulls monthly April Pick and I'm here to give my review. This follows Georgia and Noah in present time after Georgias messy divorce and Noah a romance author that is there to finish the final chapters of her grandmothers book after her passing. And then the story of Jameson and Scarlett in WW2 era that is the love story I didn't ask for. They were an amazing resilient couple that endured so much within the pages of this story. This had an ending I did NOT see coming and made me read the pages faster to find out more. I had a hard time at first with this one connecting with the characters, but started to pick up midway through and I wanted to know more. Pick this up if you'd like your heart wrecked.

Isabel Ibañes - What The River Knows 🧳🧳🧳🧳 (4) Olipas tämä ihana!! 🫶🏻💖🫰 Ehkä vähän itseään toistava, ja tyypillisen kapeita vyötäröitä ja mieshenkilöiden valtavaa kokoa toistava, mutta viihdyin silti loistavasti! Tää oli siis niin ihanasti Muumio-elokuvaa henkivä seikkailu - Inezin ja Whitin näin täysin Brendan Frasierina ja Rachel Weiszinä. Kaikille tiedoksi, RAKASTAN ensimmäistä Muumio-elokuvaa. Inez kaipaa eniten maailmassa vanhempiaan, jotka ovat rakastuneet Egyptiin ja viettäneet siellä muinaisia aarteita tutkien suurimman osan Inezin elämästä. Inezin elämä murenee, kun saa kuulla, että hänen vanhempansa ovat menehtyneet mystisissä olosuhteissa. Hän päättää matkustaa Egyptiin selvittämään totuuden tapahtumista. Luvassa on juonittelua, mysteerejä, taikuuden hippusia ja yksi hurmaava retale. ✨ #kirjagramsuomi #kirjagram #bookstagram #bookstagramsuomi #mitäluin #cafe #coffeeshop #toukokuunluetut #aprilreads #whatiread #reading #readingtime #kindle #kindlebooks

Second Audio book of April. 3 stars for None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. I was very much hooked on this book even though I had issues with some of the characters and there are definitely some needed tiger warnings. The audio book itself was great and I really liked the mixed media aspect as it made everything feel more real. The open ended nature of the ending and the untrustworthiness of the narrators (specifically the one character) was great. *spoiler time* My biggest problem with the book was the treatment of Josie’s marriage and her character’s responsibility for it. I don’t care if she’s really a sociopath, just narcissistic like her mother or if she was simply manipulative. A 16 year old is NOT an adult. Walter was a forty something old man and should have known better. He holds responsibility for that relationship and I wish that was stressed. Even if Josie is the exception, not the rule, the responsibility falls on him. Especially if she’s a mal-adjusted teen with other issues. Personally, I think Josie is some kind of sociopath since we consistently see her shirk responsibility for her own actions and bring herself to the center of the narrative as she manipulates to get what she wants. The ending is great because we just don’t know exactly who’s the problem and who did what. Did her girls have some kind of Stockholm from abuse? Are they lying? Or did her lies become her truth? Fascinating to think about since the ending is so open. #aprilreads #readingchallenge #bookdragon #bookworm #suspense #thriller #givemeallthebooks #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #noneofthisistrue #lisajewell #audiobook #bookreview
Emily Henry is truly a queen👑 I love every book I’ve read by Emily Henry! She just write such amazing stories, not only because of the excellent romance but also the person development all her characters go through. Funny Story is an easy 5 star for me! I absolutely loved Miles and Daphne. They both felt so real and funny and I loved their journeys. I really enjoyed Daphne’s story about looking for adult friendship. It is so hard to make friends as an adult and I really appreciated seeing that on the page. I really want to reread Beach Reach and Book Lovers this year so I can solidify a favorite, but this might be in the running… Ps no I haven’t read Happy Place it is my great shame, but I swear I’m gonna get to it soon!!
The first of my April reads. 3 stars for A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas. Very cute addition to the series. It’s not as heavy nor as fast paced as the others in the series and feels much like a Christmas special. The first half of the book is slow build and the second half flies. Really enjoyed the character development and where we leave off. I still hate Tamlin but I feel bad for him and hope at some point he actually gets a redemption arc. All the characters seem to have severe PTSD with varying symptoms so I just want them all to find a good therapist and work through their problems and take responsibility for the various things each has done wrong (especially Feyre, Nesta and Tamlin plus the others) The trauma is real. #aprilreads #readingchallenge #bookstagram #bookdragon #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #givemeallthebooks #acotar #acofas #bookreview #cozyreads #3starread #audiobook #fantasy #adventure #fantasyreads

Rabbit & Robot Andrew Smith ~ I found this book at the Goodwill in Mentor. . The cover caught my eye . The back of the book sounded cool and fun And it was To a degree It was kinda boring too though, imo, and nothing really happened all that much. But I did like the set up of why it was written and left behind. … It was fun sci-fi book though -- It kinda felt like it was trying to be, or maybe pay homage to books like A Catcher in Rye or Hitchhikers guide. - Or maybe a better/nice way to put that is... If Catcher and Hitchhikers Guide had a baby it might be something like this book:) . It was also a tad YA for me, but just a tad . , Cager Messer , Billy Hinman , Rowan the aid , the drug woz , Lourdes the excited cruise director cog , Parker the horny valet cog , Maurice the giraffe , the blue dot queen and her sons . ,,Meg and Jeffrie ,,Mooney and rabbit ,,Milo the depressed waiter cog ,,Dr Geneva, cog ,,Captain Myron angry cog (the o.g face eater) ,,Reverend Bingo-should of bought the blue car cog . 438 pages✓ Read=March 25,2024-April 30,2024 . #rabbitandrobot #andrewsmith . #rabbitandrobotbook #coolcovers #coolbookcovers #coolcover #coolbookcover #trippycovers #trippybookcovers #trippycover #trippybookcover #booknerd #bookworm #booklife #simonandschuster #rabbitandrobotandrewsmith #simonandschusterbfyr #youngadultreads #youngadultbooks #yafiction #yabooks #yabook #bigbook #bigbooks #over400pages #scifibook #scifibooks #yascifi #aprilreads #readinapril

April was a detective murder mystery series month! 📕The Annalisa Vega series by Joanna Schaffhausen had me hooked. But I’m a sucker for classic detective mystery. The main character is tough and sometimes annoyingly puts herself in danger but I otherwise really like her and her story lines. . 📗The Inmate was intriguing but I found the main character to be somewhat naive/annoying. . 📙Beach Read was definitely my second favorite behind the detective series—a perfect fun palate cleanser and distraction. . 📓Being Mortal was my book club read and prompted great discussion, but only 3ish stars from me. Good thoughts though on the crisis of taking care of the aging and dying. . #booksbooksbooks #aprilreads #bookclub #detectivemysteries #detectivemurdermysteries #annalisavegaseries #joannaschaffhausen #freidamcfadden #beachread #emilyhenry #beingmortal #teacherswhoread #bookstagram #bookworm #bookish

📕Recenzie: Cadavrul din bibliotecă de Agatha Christie 4/5⭐️ ....... 📖 Un roman scurt dar cu acțiune densă, Cadavrul din bibliotecă apare în 1942 și face parte din seria Miss Marple. Pare totuși scris înainte de izbucnirea celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, evenimentele din carte nu coincid cu realitatea anilor 1942, aspect temporal respectat de Agatha Christie în romanele sale. ✴️ "- Ce s-a întâmplat? - S-a întâmplat o crimă. Sunt implicat în ea și la fel sunt și prietenii tăi, familia x." ✍️ Tocmai în bibliotecă? Nu se mai găsea alt loc sub soare. 🤭 Cum să nu ți se strice plăcerea lecturii când găsești un așa "plocon" în bibliotecă? Evident stăpânii casei au fost extrem de tulburați iar Miss Marple este convocată de urgență să elucideze cazul tocmai datorită cunoștințelor ei "specializate" dovedit salvatoare în nenumărate dăți. Sau probabil intuiție feminină? Nu cred.😊 📝 "Necazul este că lumea e prea credulă și prea încrezătoare. Nu-ți poți permite să crezi tot ce zic oamenii. Când există ceva suspect, atunci nu mai am încredere chiar în nimeni. Mie îmi place să demostrez fiecare lucru." ✍️ Iată "cheia" cu care Miss Marple va rezolva întregul mister. Fiind prietenă veche cu proprietarii bibliotecii, Miss Marple sesizează implicațiile situației generale. Cum vor fi priviți aceștia de comunitate, mai ales bătrânul colonel în cauză. Ca peste tot, bârfa și comentariile de la colț sunt prezente imediat și afectează teribil persoanele vizate. 📝 "Natura umană este pretutindeni la fel." ✴️ Un aspect negativ identificat de mine este apariția distincției dintre clase. Părtinirea clasei sociale este deranjantă dar apare conform timpurilor respective, din păcate. ⭐️ După ce am terminat cartea, aș mai fi citit-o încă o dată. Intriga mult prea complicată pentru o carte așa scurtă, am rămas cu întrebări legate de motivele invocate. Ecranizarea nu mi-a plăcut, au schimbat who done it. 😂🙈 Ce părere ar avea scriitoarea? 🙂 Ați citit cartea? Ce impresie v-a lăsat? #AgathaChristie #thebodyinthelibrary #EdituraRao #MissMarple #MissMarpleSeries #CadavrulDinBiblioteca #readChristie2024 #AgathaChristiebooks #cozymistery #booksandflowers #booksandroses
