Thank you to my #AuldLangSpine #ALSpine partner, @Erinreadsthebooks for recommending this one. It‘s been on my TBR for a while and this motivated me to move it to the top of the list.

So good! Captivating and powerful, Lawhon‘s novel is a gripping read that you won‘t want to put down. Based on a true story of a midwife in 18th century America, I loved this strong, courageous woman who was fighting for justice and truth, no matter what it takes. This is a story of resilience, compassion, family, and the relentless pursuit of equality. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

A fantastic music memoir! The audiobook is fantastic, but now I‘d like a physical copy too, just to see the photos. Diamond and Horovitz tell their story so well, and it‘s very obvious that they dearly love and miss Yauch, and I‘d say this book is a beautiful tribute to him (RIP).

TheAromaofBooks My husband really enjoyed this book. Loads of photos in the hard copy - it's honestly just a really well-bound book. I love it when nonfiction has its photos scattered throughout the text instead of in random clumps. So I definitely recommend getting a hold of the physical book if you can!! 4h

I really enjoyed this. This was my first official Danmei novel and I'm glad I started with this. It was very light and humorous, made fun of and then subverted common tropes, and was a fun read.

This is just a regular murder mystery. It has Agatha Christie vibes which I appreciate. This is the 2nd book in the series.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I felt pretty meh towards the first two books in this series. I have book 3 on my shelf for this month, and if I don't feel more enthusiastic about it than I did the first two, I think I'm going to write the rest off, despite several people telling me they get progressively better. 20h
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks I just finished the third book earlier and I'm firmly still in the meh camp. If I have extra time I might try another this month but I'm way behind with other stuff so 🤷 12h
TheAromaofBooks There are so many mystery series with characters I actually like 😂 Peter kind of gets on my nerves, and I found Sayers's writing to be oddly choppy. 4h
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks there are SO MANY other options. I just came back because Author A Month 3h

The husband & I have been off this week, and instead of going to FL as originally planned, we've hunkered down and had the most relaxing, chill week ever - and three days left to go!! I've been reading up a storm and have completed 6 books so far this year. None of them were mind-blowing, but since it's the beginning of the year, they check off so many challenge prompts 😂 So here's the skinny (sorry for the hosts getting tagged multiple times!):

I really like Corran Horn so I was happy he was the MC. I also enjoyed getting more Jedi lore. But holy shit was this one long-winded novel. I was starting to feel like it was never going to end, and that makes it border on so-so.

1/80

I haven‘t started the book yet for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub but I looked at the reading schedule and it looks like I still have enough time to read the book. I‘m glad because I have a lot going on this month with reading. I‘m doing #noplacelikeholmes, #roll100, #bookspinbingo, #readyourkindle and this book club but I still have plenty of time in the month. There‘s no need to rush. I can go at my own reading pace. Reading is not a race.

Told from Chet‘s (🐶) POV.
Chet and his private investigator human, Bernie, look for a missing teen girl. I love the relationship between Bernie & Chet and I found Chet‘s inner monologue very entertaining.
This one checked off several boxes for me.

It was a nice overview of pop culture during the 90's. It's a bit US/UK centered, but it covers a good range of topics: there's the first Iraq war, rave culture, the art scene, apocalyptic cults, Princess Di, the Internet starting to loom over everything. All in all, an interesting read.

Librariana Does it essentially translate to "the delirious 90s: a history (story??) of the last decade of the 20th century"?? 1d
Librariana Congratulations on getting it read and off your shelf! 😁😊 1d
galueth28 @Librariana Thanks! And that's indeed the right translation. 24h
