I ended up listening to this one since I‘m still waiting for Book 2 in the series (I don‘t think there is a real specific order but some of the characters from other books overlap but not necessary for the story). Another easy, quick, fun read perfect for my current headspace. This book highlights some of the complexities of ALS & disability rights/societal complications. Again another story of miscommunication that leads to a happy ending. I do

ncsufoxes like Jimenez‘s wit in her character & definitely have some moments where I‘m chuckling. I also like that she has male characters that are also not afraid to be normal (taking care of babies, cooking, vulnerable ). #bookspin 14h

I‘m in my Abby Jimenez Era. I‘ve been listening to most of her books over audio. Since there has been so much going on I‘ve been opting to listen to quick, easy, fun audiobooks. I liked this one but not as much as Yours Truly. I do like how Jimenez highlights medical issues that many face (this book talks about PCOS & infertility). I find the lack of communication as a way to eventually get together slightly irritating (but it‘s been a long time

ncsufoxes since I‘ve dated & can‘t remember if I acted like that). Anyhow would be a good summer/beach read. I do like the honestly with how Jimenez writes. Although I‘m truly jealous that she already is an amazing baker & now a best selling author. #bookspin (edited) 15h

My pacifist heart loved this book and cried over it in equal measure. Featuring Gertrude Bell, whom I first met years ago in Wallace‘s Desert Queen, T E Lawrence, and Winston Churchill as minor characters, the protagonist is witness to the Cairo Conference and its fallout that we are still experiencing. The story is engaging, and the final chapter provides much to think about. And Rosie the dachshund steals the show. #bookspin #24in2024

Jas16 Sounds really interesting. 1d
Lcsmcat @Jas16 It was, and very well written. 1d
KathyWheeler This book was the first time I‘d heard of Gertrude Bell. It was an interesting story. 1d

May #bookspin

Yay! I finally finished a book spin pick. Too bad it was just meh but glad to have this book off my shelves. A British woman struggling with anxiety writes a fan letter to a popular American author and the two strike up a friendship and bond through their mutual love of cooking.

Enjoyed this re-read for #bookspin but had forgotten how bloody long it is! Not quite as good as the witching hour, but good to get more of Lasher‘s history, and also hear more from Julian, whom I LOVE

I didn't think I would enjoy my #BookSpin for this month, but I was wonderfully surprised. I wouldn't go out of my way to read more of Wharton's work, but if someone handed me another book of hers, I wouldn't turn it down.

5⭐️ holy shit! That was a roller coaster of emotions. Finally finish this beast, and it had me in all the feels at all times. I know not everybody is a Sarah J Maas fan, but I freaking love these books. 100% recommend😁 this was also my #BookSpin for #BookSpinBingo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4d

More like DES-Didn't Even Start. 4 pages in and nope, not for me.

AmandaBlaze Initially read this as Logan's Run, which is supposed to be a sci-fi classic. 5d
TheBookgeekFrau @AmandaBlaze 😂 When I came across it at the library book sale I thought I scored big time with finding Logan's Run! I'm sure the title is some kind of homage. 5d
