pickMay 2024 #AuthorAMonth #AAM #ReadAway2024 This short novel packs a lot of wallop! It is spectacular. I love science fiction because it makes me think. All good fiction should make its readers think, but science fiction is my favorite genre. I had somewhat figured out the twist at the end but not nearly all of it. Highly recommended!
Looking forward to my #readyourebooks choice this month as I‘ve shockingly not tried a Jodi Foster bk yet tho they seem right up my alley.
Tagged is #bookspin and #doublespin is Wide Sargasso Sea (which I‘m happy to finally be reading with the #hashtagbrigade)
#aam is giving me the excuse to pick up Station Eleven
So it looks like a game of catch up all round, and not least in #roll100
Hope y‘all having just as much fun this May!
That took WAY too long. And if I look at this image too closely, I will want to straighten the lines :-D Anyway, here's my #bookspin bingo card. I'm kinda excited that my #aam #authoramonth choice is also my #doublespin!

pickI don‘t know if I‘ll manage to read a new one of her‘s for #AAM or not, but I‘m really glad I decided to start by rereading this because I found it much more affecting the second time, and I also found I was better able to to approach it inquisitively several more years post pandemic as life is actually snapping back to normal. I also think her books may work better for me in print than on audio. @Soubhiville
Here are my #Bookspin and #Doublespin for May. #Doublespin is #aam and this is the one I plan to try.
I‘m currently two behind for the year (not counting those above), but I‘m almost finished with one of them.
April #wrapup #BookspinBingo
I still feel like my reading is off. I DNFed my #Bookspin and got a bingo. I ended up skipping #aam for the month.

pickI read and enjoyed these books for March and April‘s #aam picks.
The Harper was a solid thriller but I don‘t know that I‘ll seek out more of hers.
I had tried Ozeki before and been lukewarm, but was happy I tried again with her Booker-winner. The parts I was most engaged with were the ones set in the monastery.
Yay for a challenge I‘m doing well at! (not that finding new authors is a hardship 😜)
Starting this one for #authoramonth for April! Thanks Soubhi, for hosting this each year. I haven‘t been doing well on any of my challenges this year so far, but hoping to pick that back up. #AAM
March #wrapup #BookspinBingo
March has been a weird month. I sort of feel like I‘m in slump, but I still read stuff. I completed my #Bookspin and got a 2 bingos! I also read one for March‘s #aam pick, but I bailed on a couple.
No reviews posted. 😕

#ReadAway2024 update. My read my bookshelves project continues at the same glacial pace! In March I read 4 books off my own shelves, but this time that was up to 25% of my reading, since my entire March lineup was the Murderbot series and my #AAM thriller on audio, and frustrating chunksters and poetry off my bookshelves. @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES
