Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for this month. I don‘t know if there‘s going to be a book this month for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub because one hasn‘t been announced or voted on yet but if that ends up happening then I‘ll probably count it on my list as a mood read or I‘ll add it to a free space on my bingo board.
For #weeklyfavorites, I DNF‘d the #whimsicalreadsbookclub pick. I really tried my best but I couldn‘t get into it. From the beginning, I just knew it wouldn‘t be for me. It‘s a Viking fantasy romance. I‘m willing to still try out some other Viking books though.
I don‘t really know what‘s going on in this story. The woman in this book killed her husband and there‘s supposed be a new husband. There‘s no romance or sex yet. I‘m so bored and I‘m not liking the characters in this book. I don‘t care about what‘s going on but I‘m not bailing on it yet. One of the women said that the new guy is hot and I just rolled my eyes.

I started this month‘s pick for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub and I don‘t know what to think about it. I‘ve never read a Viking fantasy romance. When I get about 60% of the way through this then I‘ll decide if I want to continue reading this book or not.
This book is a Viking fantasy romance and it‘s Norse Mythology. I have a reading buddy with me. My mom and I haven‘t adopted him yet but he‘s been showing up here every day wanting to eat so we‘ve been feeding him and we‘ve been calling him Tom. I posted something on my neighborhood‘s Facebook group asking if anyone is missing a kitty. If no one claims him then we‘ll adopt him.

I just voted in the Goodreads Choice Awards. I‘ve only read 3 of the books.
A Well-Trained Wife - I enjoyed this one. I read it as an ARC for St. Martin‘s Press.
The Spellshop - I read this one with the #whimsicalreadsbookclub and I enjoyed this one.
Of Jade And Dragons - I read this one with the #whimsicalreadsbookclub. This one was just okay. I don‘t feel like I want to read other books in the series.
so-soFreya, born with the blood of a protection goddess in her veins, is pulled into a fight for a kingship beyond her understanding. & her only ally is her new husband‘s very attractive & charming son.
This had a lot I liked. Fantastic scene setting, absolutely fascinating magic systems & interpretation of children of gods. However, I could not care less about this romance, which made everything else w/ these characters feel flat. So, YMMV.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Here‘s the Goodreads Choice nominees for Romantasy. I filled it out but I double checked it and just realized that The Spellshop is on here and I have read it. I read it for the #whimsicalreadsbookclub so this should say that I‘ve read 1 out of 20 books. I didn‘t know that The Spellshop was on here. I guess I didn‘t see it before.
