I have 8 prompts left to fulfill for #booked2021 (eek) but I am determined to get there. This will be the first time I will have managed to complete a reading challenge, which is definitely in part because of the wonderful encouragement of @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage & @4thhouseontheleft and the lovely community around this challenge. These are the physical books I have which leaves me with 4 still to find! Musical instrument cover rec anyone?

rockpools It‘s a teensy musical instrument- but the book‘s fab! 3y
Cinfhen I was going to recommend that book too @rockpools !!! And YOU can totally do this - no pressure!!!!! I read/listened this book for #MusicalInstrumentOnCover which I borrowed from Hoopla and I loved it 3y
Magpiegem @rockpools ooh thank you so much I actually heard about this book on BBC R4 A Good Read a couple of months ago but I was driving and couldn‘t write it down! As soon as I started reading the synopsis I thought “yes that‘s what it was called!” So that will be a perfect choice for that prompt. It sounds strange and wonderful. 3y
Magpiegem @Cinfhen thank you 🙏 ❤️ I‘m feeling very determined!! And I‘ve just signed up to a swap to send some of my favourite books of the year which will definitely come from #booked2021 discoveries. 3y
Cinfhen That‘s wonderful 🥰 3y

Amira heads home so that she can finish the last project for her Masters in peace and quiet only to find that a barbershop quartet has moved in. Sounds cute and fun right? Parts of this book absolutely are but it also tackles a lot within its pages- racism, homophobia, Islamaphobia. This wasn‘t the light read I was expecting but I ended up liking it all the more for it.

Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. I loved Opal and I liked the social commentary. Some bits dragged but it was better than Daisy Jones which it seems to get compared with.

Cinfhen Felt exactly the same way!!! 3y
TrishB @Cinfhen 100 pages less would have been good! 3y
Cinfhen Yup!! I skimmed chunks of the story and feel like I didn‘t miss anything 3y

Cinfhen I loved Lost City of Z too!!! It began my love affair with NF!!! Too bad the others were only meh 😕 3y
Zoes_Human I was disappointed with Hummingbird Salamander as well. Loved the idea but the execution fell short for me. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job! I see your entry! 3y

This was the only book on my shelf with a #MusicalInstrumentOnCover so had to be my choice for #booked2021 I wasn‘t too keen as I‘d tried to start it a few years back and given up but it was better than I expected. Found myself skimming over the descriptions of shipping stuff but liked the bits in between. Still not as enjoyable for me as others I‘ve read by him.

Cinfhen Glad you were able to use a book from your shelf ☘️too bad it wasn‘t a solid pick 3y

I‘ve waited way too long to pick this up! Such a fascinating concept about monsters. I enjoyed both August and Kate and very much looking forward to the next book. 🎻🎻🎻🎻

Willie Nelson is one of my favorite performers. This book was a nice overview of his life with lots of great pictures, but I didn't really learn anything new. #MusicalInstrumentOnCover #Booked2021
