Only read one of my Bookspin titles last month, #9 middle grade — Nightbooks by J.A. White. A good middle grade horror novel.

My “spun” #readyourebooks for October. I love when books cover multiple challenges. #8 is a regular #Roll100 book, #4 was rolled for #Roll100 & #CastTheDie and #9 was rolled for #Roll100.

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is NINE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FOUR!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are over 200 of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

July 2024 Book #9 last book read this month

Last book in Illumbe trilogy. Each book is developed in Illumbe but they are not direct sequence. In this book the story is about Nerea Arruti, an investigator. She maintained a secret lover, an accident occurred and everything turns complicated with the presence of a gang of criminals. Was her lover related with this gang? ⬇️

Gissy I liked the action, the twists but I didn‘t like the ending. I saw that ending so male opportunistic, manipulative leaving the protagonist like she is co dependent to this man. But is my interpretation because this novel has high rating. But no way I will be happy with that ending🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️
I will rate the trilogy 3.5/3.75 ⭐️As a whole

July 2024 Book #6

This book has low rating I‘m GR but it worked for me. Even when I suspected the ending, who did it, I still liked the story because it was character driven, not much plot, it was how characters were developed and the interaction between them with an unreliable narrator. As many character driven novels, it was a slow pace reading. 3.75/3.8⭐️I can‘t say much without spoil the story, it is a short novel

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Some parts are predictable and the person who was behind this death and how everything was committed made the story too unrealistic. But it in general it was entertaining. 3/3.5⭐️

A beautiful but sad story about this couple who lost contact during the war. They will meet again but in special circumstances and you will see that encounter in the first chapter. Then, the story goes to the past to know how Lanka and Josef met and what happened to them. It is emotionally intense. Reading about Prague and Terezin made me remind my visit to those places a couple of years ago. 4⭐️

Gissy June 2024 Book #7 another oldie book in my tbr
