#Bookspinbingo
blurb
shanaqui

I had trouble settling down to read, but this is on my #BookSpinBingo list and it was convenient so I decided to give it a try, and read 38% more or less in one go. Hurrah for finding something that could tickle my brainstem.

I'm definitely curious what's going on here, which side of the whole thing is lying/perhaps killed or conspired to kill Christabel. Curious structure to it, too.

shanaqui I am quite curious about Fitt's non-pseudonymous work as Kathleen Freeman, It Has All Happened Before: What the Greeks Thought of their Nazis. 1h

Finally putting up my December #BookSpin / #ReadYourKindle lists and my #BookSpinBingo board. I was struggling to locate seasonal stickers, but I‘m sure I will find some as soon as I post this. 😅 I carried over my unused free spaces for the year. Going to try for a blackout board but I‘ve never done that before 😂

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Looks fantastic!! 14h

This story of two mothers and their families held me captivated. I felt for Mrs. Fowler, and I came to care for Mrs. Willoughby, too. The last chapter was exactly the ending I needed. I can see myself picking this one again in another year or two. Classic Persephone!

This was my February #BookSpin pick.

Caryl The title was perfect — the life of a parent of adult children is like being on (or witnessing your kids on) a chaotic “roundabout” sometimes, where you have little control except to be there to cheer, wave, whatever they need when they pass you by each time. 23h
LeahBergen I thoroughly enjoyed this one, too (and just reminded myself that I need to read more Crompton!). 20h

Caryl @LeahBergen Yes! I would love to read another of her novels. I should look for more of her books… 6h
Caryl @Cathythoughts it‘s hard to take a bad photo of a Persephone book. 😍 6h

Delilah and Anthony shared a steamy kiss last Christmas, then things got suddenly frosty. This year, they‘re roped into the town‘s Christmas festivities, and they have no choice but to face the miscommunication that happened prior. A sweet romance with a bit of spice!

TheAromaofBooks Also, you have been on Litsy for a while - do you know where we should report this obnoxious spam commenter?? 16h

OriginalCyn620 @thearomaofbooks the only thing I know is to flag the comment by holding down on it and choosing “flag” from the menu of options. Then you can describe why you‘re flagging it. Wonder if it‘s some kind of bot? 12h
TheAromaofBooks Oh nice, I didn't even realize you could flag comments that way! I don't know if it's a bot or what, but I have seen that exact comment on soooo many posts today - a lot of people are tagging me with their BookSpin lists/boards and it felt like half of them had this comment on it! Plus on my own post! 😂 8h
julieclair This looks cute! now
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That spam is everywhere on Litsy today! I‘m going to start flagging it. now

While still good, the 3rd book in The Lost Queen Series, I didn't find as good as the first two. The Shadowed Land took us on a journey with Angharad, as she continues to develop as a Wisdom Keeper, and Artur, who follows in his father's footsteps. Languoreth and Lailoken still are prominent in the book. This one wasn't as long as the other two, either. I reread the first two books, since it had been a few years since I read them, before I ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read ⬆️ read this one. Now, I have to wait until the Fall of 2027 for the next book. Of course, I will have to reread the 3 before it, before I read it, which is okay since I love this series.

When reading this series, you can tell Pike put in a lot of hardwork and a lot of time doing research. She gives you a chance to travel back to 540 to 584 Scotland. My TBR grew also, because she listed some books in her note I would like to read concerning Artur.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

"..where one burns books, one will soon burn people."

Historical Fiction set during the 1930s and 1940's in France, Germany and the USA. Told from 3 different perspectives and timeliness.

Vivian is trying to get a bill stopped that Sen.Taft has filed in Congress for censorship. Althea is a young American writer asked to come to Germany in 1933 by Joesph Goebbels. She accepts not really knowing what she is about to get in. ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read Hannah, a Jew in Germany, befriends Althea. Through this story, you witness their lives intertwining.

I love Historical Fiction because I always learn something. For instance, I didn't know that Taft had a bill to censor what books could be read by our military in WWII. The Armed Service Editions (ASE) sent books for soilders to read while they were overseas. A lot of the soilders ended up having a life long love of reading because of the ASE. There was one topic I didn't care for in the book, which brought down my rating. 4⭐️

Five interconnected short stories in which different people in different stages of life find their way to a small library located in a community center, and all connect with a book that inspires change. Lots of feel-good vibes!

I'm definitely looking forward to reading my #BookSpin, but with the way my life has been going lately, I'm not sure about my #DoubleSpin, The Darkest Night. I've already finished the first book on my December list, Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories, and I'm hoping to get at least one #BookSpinBingo this month, even if I don't manage to finish both books.
