pickI really liked this one! I loved Ern and the way he told his family‘s story. This got very twisty but was done very well. Glad I finally got to this one!

pickJewell always manages to hook me in. While the ending made this one a soft pick for me, the pacing was great. I appreciated that Alix's ignoring of major red flags felt like a natural progression here - she's just too far into the story to back down now. I like my fiction tied with a bow, so some of the ambiguity at the end annoyed me (plus one major plot point wasn't how I would have gone so), but overall I couldn't stop turning pages.
Just came across the #MtCookbook tag and decided that it‘s about time for me to give my cookbook shelves some attention. I think my goal will be to decide to either #readordonate ten cookbooks by the end of the year. Most of these have been fun to collect, but I‘ve only used a handful of recipes in them, as I look online a lot for the recipes I use. These aren‘t all my cookbooks, but this is the bulk of them. Since I need to start eating ⬇️
I've got a bunch of ARCs to read, some books for work, and then my #roll100 #readordonate #queerbc and #bookspin
It'll be fine!

Only 1/3 rolled #Roll100 books read in April. Otherwise, a great challenges & buddy reads month.
Once the #readyourebooks numbers are selected I‘ll post my May chart.

My May #BookSpin is Mad Honey and I‘ve already started it. 💛
Lucky me, my #DoubleSpin is Winter‘s Tale which is also my #TBRtarot and #ReadOrDonate book for May.
This should right up my alley, but I found it kind of dry when I first started reading it, and now the moment has passed. Off to the LFL it goes!
It wasn‘t a good month for reading magazines either, but perhaps I can catch up a little in May?
Meanwhile, I managed to acquire “only” six books at Malice Domestic. Three of them were free, and of the ones I bought only one is for me. Just don‘t ask about the swag!

April & YTD Challenge by the numbers.
I‘m happy that I‘ve read 48 books from my shelves so far this year. That‘s half of the books I‘ve finished YTD. A very nice balance of owned and borrowed. 🤓

pickRefreshing, original, uplifting, charming. A testament to the magic of confidence! Written in 2012, but takes place in the 1980‘s, and the references to the trends and technology was a fun throwback. This was my #ReadOrDonate selection for April. Usually I donate them once I‘ve read them, but I‘m keeping this one. 🇫🇷
