Quick and satisfying romance…. Not ashamed to say I finished it, tears falling from my eyes while on a very full flight earlier today. And on a less important but still fun note, this gave me #bingo for #bookspinbingo, the cover crossed a lot of boxes for this year so far in #ISpyBingo, and I got one more February #wickedword - ballroom!

Finished my #ispybingo board for March with a few days to spare!
My current TBRs wouldn‘t help with getting more than my 2 bingos lol. Looking forward to next month‘s board.

I'm kind of pretending that it's not a mere week until April.
But here's the April #ISpyBingo
board anyway.

Ben rents a room from Winnie, who is elderly and a recent widow. Ben suspects that Winnie didn't really want him there, that she only agreed because her family thinks she needs someone there to watch out for her & help around the house. So Ben plans to stay out of her way, but then Covid lockdowns start. He and Winnie are forced to spend most of their time together, and a friendship ensues as they start to see life from each other's perspective.

This rather lovely graphic novel of Botticelli's “chicken girl“, who wants to be an artist but is stymied by attitudes about her gender, completes my first full board in 2025 #ISpyBingo ! #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

January 2025 Book#5
Hard to believe that book with that cover would have many triggers: physical/sexual abuse. London XlX, family try to survive their extreme poverty environment with an abuse, alcoholic father who try to sell his daughter. Sylvia try to escape this world, try to find true love. My opinion is that story try to romanticize John‘s behavior who could be seen as a controlling person to justify his love for Sylvia? Abrupt happy ending?

January 2025 Book #4
Book 2 in A Year Round Christmas Mysteries series. Read for #CBBC 2025 @Mommamanzi
I liked this book 2 better that the first one. Also predictable but we see more drama, town gossip with funny scenes, expected in cozy mysteries☺️I think I will try book 3⭐️
