This was my April #Roll100 and #DoubleSpin

This is a coming of age story based in the Japanese mountains where the MC is sent to train in forestry. While it was a slow paced read, it was full of detail and i enjoyed learning about the forest industry over the course of a year.

Happy #WorldBookDay (or 1 of them) / #SantJordi / #DayofBooksandRoses / #SaintGeorgesDay everyone! It is celebrated on this day because it is the anniversary of the death of Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, but as it happens, the author I am reading right now - Teresa de la Parra - also died on April, 23rd.

My #Roll100 for April is the tagged book.
I got this ebook a few years ago as part of Amazon‘s world book day, so I am looking forward to giving it a go!

PuddleJumper Looks like an interesting read 1mo
rwmg Loved it. Did you get the sequel, which was one of Amazon's world book day offerings the year after? 1mo
Bookworm54 @rwmg No I missed that year! If I enjoy this one I will keep an eye out for it :) 1mo

I‘m finally feeling like I‘m going to get better so I‘m dusting my bedroom and killing myself with allergies. This includes rearranging TBR bookshelves. This one has 65 books I haven‘t read and 8 that I have 🤦🏻‍♀️ these are primarily second hand book finds. I have a problem. ( the 4 DG books and the Lunar Chronicles series are read ) #worldbookday

dabbe Looks like you're set with books for a while. But are we truly ever settled? 🤔😍😂 2mo
mcctrish @dabbe this is a drop in the bucket and no, not even close to settled. The beauty of this stackage was that once I read them I am to give them away since they were all super cheap or free. And yet. Here they sit. Waiting their turn. 2mo
dabbe @mcctrish They're being very patient. 😃 2mo

Apparently, it's World Book Day today! Anybody sending their child off to school dressed up as a character from a book? I feel I am missing out: my child is an adult and my grandchild is too young, LOL. (Although to be fair, admiring cute dressed-up children is a lot less stressful than actually devising a costume and getting them ready in the morning!)

This was good to read after reading all 3 of the Good Girl books first. Pip and friends are at a murder mystery party - this leads Pip to the idea of investigating a real murder for her senior project (the first Good Girl book) - It was interesting to read a story about Pip's closest friends knowing how it all turned out for everyone - I thought this was a good book to end the series on. I'm glad I read it that way!
Make a great day everyone🙂

PaperbackPirate It sounds like you liked it a lot more than me! I think I liked #2 and #3 more than you. It‘s funny how we all bring something different to what we read. 😁 3mo

This treasure was buried among the free books on my Kindle. It was a hard read, and really makes you think about the people who left home to find a better life that we celebrate on Thanksgiving and those that we refuse to help. This short book by Ousman Umar describes his journey from Ghana to Spain between the ages of about 13-17. We should all read this book.

Librarybelle I think I will be reading for these challenges for years to come! 6mo
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle I‘m getting close on Asia, but it will still probably go into next year. 6mo
BarbaraBB Kudos for almost finishing Africa!! 6mo
ChaoticMissAdventures This sounds so good, and Thanksgiving is the perfect time for hard immigrant stories. 6mo

Compré este libro por la serie Eternal Love. Ten peach of peach blossoms. Amé la historia en la serie.
La novela de Tang Qi está contada en primera persona y solo desde la visión de su protagonista, Bai Qian, por lo que sucede con los demás personajes no lo podemos saber. Aun así, es una historia muy linda, aunque admito que conocer la versión televisada ayuda bastante a comprender la historia y sufrir con Bai Qian. 😍

I liked this, but there were bits that make it a so-so for me.
Ved is a gay man in India, where it is illegal to be gay. He is pressured into an engagement just as he meets Carlos, who makes him feel happy again.

There was a lot of cheating, and guilt, and hypocrisy which is what knocked it down for me!

This was my #BookSpin and a goal for #20in4

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 7mo
Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 7mo
