pickMy mom got this as a library discard when I was a kid, and I always loved it growing up. Smalleata is a mouse whose clan moves into the human house across the field when winter comes (and the people leave for the season). There, she falls in love with a house mouse. Lots of adventures, but it's actually pretty intense for a children's book, as some of the mice get eaten! I really enjoyed this reread and still find this a delightful book. And it ⬇
pickOkay, this was super addictive and I tore through the whole thing today. I agree with those who say Alex is toxic and a walking red flag - but I still rooted for him, even though I don‘t think I am supposed to. In that way, he reminded me of Joe Goldberg from You. 🤪
But I did like him and Ava together and how they helped each other with some pretty dark stuff. And the spice was off the charts! 🌶️

pick36 y/o Adele is engaged to the man of her dreams, but when her ex boyfriends start dying (in the order that she dated them), she wonders if her fiance is the murderer. Decent thriller and kept my interest throughout!

#pop25 - two books with the same title (2)
pickIt‘s Ali Hazelwood. So, cute romcom stories about grumpy, handsome and very tall men and cute, tiny women. Everyone is smart and there‘s at least one word I can‘t pronounce. But they are fun, and even if they are similar to each other, they are different enough from other books that I‘ll keep reading them. #doublespin #bookspinbingo
A couple of days late on my mid-month #bookspinbingo check in, but it's been a weird month (year?), and better late than never. Not reading as much as I'd like but still more than I anticipated, and I completed my #bookspin & #doublespin picks, so there's that

pickSo cute! And pretty funny! I‘ve read a couple of this author‘s other books and will definitely read more.
#bookspinbingo - this is my #doublespin for this month!
so-soI am very lukewarm about this. I can't quite call it a pick; I read it all with mild enjoyment, but very mild. I remember liking Garth Nix's work more than this in the past, but... not this, apparently.
Continuing to now avoid a #BookSpinBingo as much as possible, I'm now reading The Tomb of Dragons, and then A Pirate's Life for Tea! Although my wife has badly sprained (possibly broken) their ankle, so... I may be quite busy in the days to come.
pickThis is was very entertaining. I will read the next book when it appears.

pickFinal #roll100 read for Feb and also scored a line in #bookspinbingo recovering from surgery and not being able to do anything has its advantages as gives me lots of reading time!
Really enjoyed this, loved the prose, and there were a couple of twists that I did not see coming. Really interesting subject too.
I finally made my February #BookSpinBingo board!
And, for the first time ever, I had a bingo on my board. January turned out to be a good reading month for me.
