My February #bookspin is The Kiss Countdown - reading with #riseupreads and enjoying it so far
My #doublespin is any memoir. I'm thinking of reading Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay for #AuthorAMonth if library holds work out

pickThese short stories about women in Haiti or its diaspora are painful and poignant, sometimes hopeful and sometimes despairingly sad. Some feel so real I thought they were autobiographical. They are not but I felt I learned so much about the author from reading them. This is the first I‘ve read by Gay and it was so good. I look forward to reading another one by her. Having just finished a book of short stories about Nepal, with what I felt were ⬇️
I know our phones listen to us because I started my #AuthorAMonth pick today and was served this Ad on Insta 🤣🤷🏻♀️
“She has been dying for nearly twenty years…” 🤣

Great reading month for January! I finished 19 books total & read almost all I set out to. I think weekly plane rides & trying to avoid media upped my reading time. Finished all 3 #Roll100 books, 3 from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac + #AuthorAMonth #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FoodandLit #ChloeGongReadalong #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #JaneAustenThenAndNow ⬇️

repost for @Soubhiville:
It‘s February #AuthorAMonth readers. This month we‘ll be celebrating Roxane Gay. What are you planning to read?
I haven‘t gotten to this year‘s Google form yet. I will try to do that by my mid month post so you can start recording what you‘ve read. In the meantime, if you use StoryGraph here‘s the link to the challenge there:

In light of recent developments, I decided to lean into Black History Month for the month of February. My remaining book club and #authoramonth selections are already poised in that direction. While looking at my TBR list, I remembered something from my year end stats that I forgot to post at the time.
On both Goodreads and StoryGraph, Finding Me was the highest rated of the books I read in 2024. Isn‘t that interesting?
