Another month of lockdown & another month of good reading! I finished 13 books and participated in #bookspinbonanza #readinglittlewomen and #BOTMBuddyRead . Many of these also contributed to a few more steps up #MountTBR .

Now, on to June!

Pickpick

3.5 🌟 for this classic Those end pages, though! 😍

Some chapters are boring and reading this with the freedom of a woman in the 21st century, it can be old-fashioned in its views of what a young woman should do and how to act. However, I do enjoy that there are messages of finding strength & comfort in your family, being happy with simple pleasures, and working hard to fix your problems.

TheAromaofBooks Oh those end pages really are lovely!!! 4y

Here is a very ambitious list of goals for the #NutsInMay #Readathon. It's mostly for my current challenges: #readinglittlewomen #botmbuddyread #bookspinbonanza #mountTBR Thanks for hosting @Andrew65

Andrew65 Love the presentation of your targets. 😍😍😍 Good luck! 😊👍 4y
Maria514626 Your photo is so pretty! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Thank you @Maria514626 I started with a totally different vision late last night and got too tired. When I opened it this morning it looked tragic and came up with this one. I love stock photos! 4y

#BookReport - I did finish #ReadingLittleWomen, although I didn't post an “official“ review - I loved it, as always. And yes, Laurie and Amy are a way, way better match than Laurie and Jo!!!

I also finished the next two Chronicles of Ixia novels - my gosh, Opal is SO much less likable than Yelena! One more book to struggle through with Opal whining and then FINALLY back to Yelena (AND VALEK!).

Still reading my secret #LMPBC book - almost ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finished, which is good since it's April's book!! 😬

Still haven't started The Grace Year, which is also for #LMPBC and, more importantly (lol), for #BookSpinBonanza - my possibility of actually finishing my own challenge is getting smaller by the day!!

Hoping to make some headway this week thanks to #NutsinMay!!!

Maria514626 I haven‘t read Little Women. I feel like that makes me some kind of monster. 😨 😄 I did love the movie. Does that count? 🙃 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Maria514626 - haha there are plenty of classics that I haven't gotten to yet, so no worries!! Hopefully you'll find time for it someday, though, as it's a delightful story. 4y

Well, theoretically my #weeklyforecast should be all #BookSpinBonanza books BUT I have an ARC (not pictured) to read, plus my secret #LMPBC book. For some reason I started rereading the Chronicles of Ixia and really want to read the next three in that series next, plus I am still #ReadingLittleWomen - should finish that this week. I am also going to read Sense & Sensibility with the #PemberLittens if my copy ever gets here - it now says ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) delivery is scheduled for Monday!! But MAYBE if I get through all of that I'll get to my first Bonanza book, which is also for #LMPBC - The Grace Year. Of course, this week is also the lead-up to Mother's Day weekend, the busiest week/weekend of the year for those of us who work at greenhouses, so we'll see how much reading time even exists!!

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - Right?? I get a little happy feeling every time I see my copy of Mosquitoland posted!! At least my book is getting to have some traveling adventures even I'm at home 😂 5y
TheAromaofBooks @JoScho - I hadn't even heard of it before it showed up here as an #LMPBC pick, but it sounds super intriguing so I'm excited to dive in!! 5y
Cinfhen It‘s only May 3 / we have time to be distracted from “required reading” 😜 5y
Lollymya You will have to let me know about The Grace Year!!!! 5y
TheAromaofBooks Sure will!! It's for #LMPBC so I definitely have to read it sometime this month! 5y
tracey38 I love Marie V Snyder's series! Glad you're enjoying them. 5y
TheAromaofBooks @tracey38 - yes, my second time around & I am enjoying them even more than the first!! I also read The Eyes of Tamburah last year, but otherwise haven't read any of her other books - something I really need to remedy!! 5y
tracey38 @TheAromaofBooks I've read most of her books, though not all, and have enjoyed all of them so far! 5y

April was a good reading month.
My #bookspin #doublespin and #triplespin selections also satisfies #YAApril and #mounttbr

I bailed on one book and read a few 'new to me' books from netgalley and a giveaway.

#readinglittlewomen is still in progress. #marchrecap #marchwrapup @TheAromaofBooks @megnews @sblbooks Thanks all for having me along on your April reading adventures!

TheAromaofBooks Yay! Love seeing those challenges get stacked!! 5y

#WeeklyForecast is ambitious as always, especially considering I already know I am going to finish the tagged book & the final book in that romance trilogy before picking up any of these!! 😁

Still continuing with #ReadingLittleWomen - only a few chapters behind and still thoroughly enjoying every page. Alpha Erased is an ARC, and I may need to read a few of the earlier books in the series to refresh my memory of where things stand! ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) His Good Opinion is my #doublespin (having already read #bookspin & #triplespin!!), Scrub Dog of Alaska is both a random book off my personal shelves that I've owned for years and never read AND a way to travel to Alaska for #ReadtheUSA2020. So Long as You Both Shall Live is the next 87th Precinct book - after I finish the rest of these, I'll be read for the next batch of five in that entertaining but neverending series!

MemoirsForMe You‘re doing great for an overachiever! 😁 I had to take short break from #Bookspin because my Anne Tyler book came in. But I‘m back to my #DoubleSpin read. 🙌🏻 5y
TheAromaofBooks @UwannaPublishme - for my first few months of #bookspin I made a list of books I've been putting off/wasn't super excited to read, but that seemed lame so in April I did half new shiny books that I just haven't gotten to yet and half books I've been yearning to reread - and suddenly all my choices were good ones 😂 5y

#EasterExtravaganza Update

I wanted to read 1 chapter of Little Women daily so since my dog is sleeping on my lap, I plowed through a few of them to finish up my target of 8 chapters. I was able to check off quite a few items:

Green cover ?
Female characters a plenty!?‍?‍??
"to be"
"And then"
Flower ?
I am on my own #readinglittlewomen schedule, but happy with my progress. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I tend to get behind a few days and then read several chapters in a row. Glad you are enjoying this one!! 5y
