Getting kitty biscuits while listening to the tagged book, which is fantastic. #authoramonth @Soubhiville #litsyatoz #LetterY
pickI almost skipped April's #AuthorAMonth since I was underwhelmed by my 1st Quinn book. I remember liking The Rose Code, but nothing about it stuck with me. I didn't feel like committing to 500+ pgs for "just ok." But I'm so glad I decided to give her another try! Night Witches (Female Soviet WWII pilots), Russian lake witch lore, Nazi hunters, & an American stepmother with a mysterious past = an engrossing plot and great characters! @Soubhiville

1. Friday is always going to bring me joy.
2. Reading quizzes like the one @ReadingOver50 shared this morning 💙
3. Litsy Buddy reads: specifically the #LiteraryCrew selection this month which coincided with the #authoramonth
4. My students
5. I‘ve been watching videos and reading blogs about commonplace books. I‘m dipping my toes into the practice.
Consider yourself tagged!
The world often presents us with a carefully curated facade, a mask that conceals the complexities beneath the surface. In the case of Samantha Taylor, the mask she wears is one of undeniable success. #weekendreads #authoramonth #readyourkindle #bookspinbingo #roll00

#WeekendReads @rachelsbrittain
Currently working on two books:
📘 Tempt Me by K. A. Tucker this is from my ##ReadYourKindle TBR list @CBee
📘 The Familiar by Leigh Batdugo which is for last month's #AuthorAMonth challenge @Soubhiville I am struggling to finish.
pickWhen my kids were younger, we loved the Marvel and some DC superheroes. But I‘ve never wanted to read a superhero book. I tried the tagged book solely for #authoramonth. It‘s easy to believe an extraordinary author wrote this one. Diana is young and not battle-tested. She innocently and with a big heart saves the Warbringer from drowning near Diana‘s island, bringing risk to her own home and the world. So of course now she risks all to try to ⬇️
pickPick - while the plot is a bit slow/steady - the women at the center of the story & their friendship is just so lovely and wholesome. I‘d read more about their lives if I could. I definitely think Quinn is an author for me (& her coauthor on this Chang as well!). #AuthorAMonth
Photo is of the kingfisher bird feathers from Google central to the headpiece prop in the story. Not partial to birds - at all lol - but they are quite pretty.
Finally reporting my books read for March. This was a long-book month, and I was only 2 days away from finishing Cashelmara, which will show up in my April books read. I tagged my favorite book this month. Challenge update:
