pickGreat book! It's an interesting outsiders perspective of a First Nation community. But also a great story about family, love, and loss in all its variations and complexities.

pickBook was good! I forgot how funny Riordan is; I laughed out loud several times.
The narrator was terrible; like he was doing a parody of someone reading to children. As my kids say: cringe.

pickThis was are-read for #BookRiotReadHarder challenge. It is so beautiful and quietly heartbreaking. One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors.
Mischling was a beautiful story, although of course also shocking and brutal as any that takes place in a Nazi concentration camp must be. I was interested to see the bit of overlap with Zookeeper's Wife, which I read a few months ago.
This book concludes my defined challenges for the year! #LitsyAtoZ, #BookRiotReadHarder, and #LitsyReadingChallenge (the bingo card one), all done! I'll keep working on #MountTBR for the rest of the year! 😊 🎉🎊
This book takes place in Queens, NY. I plan on reading it for #BookRiotReadHarder and it works for #riotgrams #SetNearWhereYouLive It looks creepy and awesome!!
pickWhat a delightful book that also had a lot of depth. I loved the references to other fairytales. It was very clever and inventive! Magical adventure tale. #riotgrams #SomethingMagical #BookRiotReadHarder
The Ruby Red trilogy is the first thing that came to mind for #SmellsLikeTeenSpirit since it's first person POV from a 16 year old girl. It's actually a fun series. #JuneTunz @Cinfhen
My reread of Stephen King was definitely the best of May for me.
I'm in the home stretch for my challenges, with 2 for #LitsyAtoZ, 3 for #LitsyReadingChallenge, and 2 for #BookRiotReadHarder left, maybe I can finish them all in June.
