Pickpick

First of all—the variety of covers for this is hilarious! I read a digital copy (top left) that makes it look like a ghost story or gothic thriller. I see where this image comes into the story, but—it‘s so exactly wrong that it‘s maddening. If I‘d found this as a kid, no doubt it would have been the Dell Yearling edition there on the bottom left. 😆 This was a sweet, nostalgic hug of a book. It‘s exactly the kind of book I‘d have loved as a kid ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d)—and I loved it as an adult. I completely resonated with that childhood magic of finding a perfect secret place that‘s all your own, where you can read and think and wonder. Even though I saw the ending coming, and it ties everything up far too neatly, I didn‘t care. This was a delight. Thank you to @TheAromaofBooks for this recommendation (several months back!!), and for pulling the right number to assign it as my April #BookSpin! 6h
BarbaraJean And… this is my 1965 pick for #192025. @Librarybelle 6h
Ruthiella That Dell cover looks familiar. Maybe I need it in elementary school? 🤔 6h

Didn't love either of my #BookSpin books this month, but I read them!

Also read three other books from my list: Alone Together, edited by Jennifer Haupt; The Other Half of the Grave by Jeanienne Frost; Serendipity edited by Marissa Meyers. And I didn't like them much either! I guess it's been a grumpy month, or maybe nothing can compare to a total eclipse of the sun. 😁

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Off the list at least! 🤷‍♀️🤣 11h
willaful @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage And we won't think about how many I've added. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 7h

I decided to buy the ebook of this book. I‘ve owned the physical book for a while but I want my Amazon Alexa app to read it to me. It sounds interesting. It‘s on my #bookspinbingo list this month. I‘m not going to read it this month. Hopefully, I‘ll read it next month. It‘s been on multiple #bookspin lists for months. I‘m ready to read it so I don‘t have to keep carrying it over each month. I‘m hoping to read more of my #bookspin books next month.

Here's my #BookSpin list for May. I'm switching to books from my physical TBR thanks to the possibility of moving back to Texas sometime next year. I won't know until sometime in June this year, but I need to reduce the number of physical books I own regardless. @TheAromaOfBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 20h
