So my up-next shelf has exploded a bit. 😏😂

I‘m rereading the whole Station Eleven series for #AuthorAMonth, so I was hoping at least one of them would be chosen. Yay Glass Hotel #doublespin!

Marriage Act was a gift from @BarbaraBB so I‘m excited for that as she always chooses well for me!! #bookspin

Otherwise, I just plan to get to as many of these as I can! 🤩👍🏻

Soubhiville, TheAromaofBooks

BarbaraBB I haven‘t read it yet either, I bought two copies (one for myself) but I do have high hopes 🤞🏽 8h

April & YTD Challenge by the numbers.

I‘m happy that I‘ve read 48 books from my shelves so far this year. That‘s half of the books I‘ve finished YTD. A very nice balance of owned and borrowed. 🤓

Laughterhp I just finished The Familiar last night and I loved it! It‘s so different from her other works. 1d

A Tortoise for the Queen of Tonga: Stories | Julia Whitty

I‘ve really slowed down reading for the month of April with only 8 books finished. Six were for #foodandlit #Venezuela, 1 for #authoramonth (I wasn‘t inclined to read more by this author), and 1 for #readingOceania #Tonga (and completing that challenge for the year). I‘ve tagged my favorite book this month, oddly a book of short stories that I normally don‘t care for, but these were exceptional.

Soubhiville, Librarybelle, BarbaraBB, Catsandbooks

Librarybelle Still a great reading month! 1d

A Tale for the Time Being: A Novel | Ruth Ozeki

pick

Another hard/dark story. Hard to read because story has various triggers which were so descriptive.. I‘m not a fan of magical realism but author used it amazingly. Two characters connected in two time lines? Maybe...story use the concept of quantum multiverse. The ending was expected to me as I have seen in novels read using this concept. Beautiful and thoughtful lines even in those dark parts. Brilliant. Amazing narration by author. 4/4.5⭐️

Gissy First novel by this author. I bought 3 more books by her but this one was read for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Many topics discussed in this novel (culture, social actions, identity, etc) even the role of the reader in that wonderful quote by Marcel Proust. 4/4.5⭐️
