My December #bookspinbacklog is a bust - just not feeling it…but I‘m okay with it. Releasing the #Roll100 pick and putting in the To Be Donated pile.

PuddleJumper You tried! 2y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes just getting a book off the shelf and out of the house is a win in and of itself!! 2y
JackOBotts @PuddleJumper & @TheAromaofBooks 100% - I‘m trying to be better about letting go when I‘m not feeling it…so many good books out there, don‘t want to slog through something that doesn‘t mesh with me. 2y
PuddleJumper @JackOBotts I used to be a completionist - if I started the book, I was going to finish it even if it was painful. Realized that it wasn't fun and I had better things to do with my time 🤣 It took awhile though, I felt like i couldn't form an opinion if I didn't read it all but if it isn't working, it isn't working 2y

My #bookspinbacklog #bookspin pick for December. This was just okay for me. 2.5 ⭐️. I was interested in what was happening, but not so much in the Hannah/Leo storyline, which I found disruptive. 🤷🏻‍♀️

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2y

2.5 ⭐️ - A so-so read; don‘t plan on continuing with the next title in the series. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #bookspin from October & #bookspinbacklog from November.

Bailing on this #Roll100 / #bookspinbacklog pick. I try nonfiction and struggle. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I did my best.

PuddleJumper You tried! No point forcing yourself if you aren't enjoying it 2y
JackOBotts @PuddleJumper 100% ~ I‘m trying to do better at “letting go” if I‘m not feeling it. 💜 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a #roll100 turned #bookspinbacklog pick. It took me 4 years to read this #BOTM selection (10.2018), and it ended up being a wonderful read. There are many storylines weaving through time (1860s through 2010s), but I loved seeing them weave together and across time.

swishandflick This one is still unread on my shelf too 🤦🏽‍♀️ 2y
JackOBotts @swishandflick The TBR struggle is real! 🥰📚I‘m glad to have finally read it. Now I can pass it along…I have a friend who I think will enjoy it, as well. 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y
ICantImReading This book sat on my bookshelf for way too long, but then ended up being one of my favorite reads last year! I think sometimes books come to us at just the right time ☺️ 2y
JackOBotts @ICantImReading I couldn‘t agree more! It was a beautiful read. 💜 It was good for “spooky season” while being more than just horror/thriller (which I absolutely love, too). 2y

Ugh…Darcy Fitzwilliam…why is she compelled to constantly refer to her wealth?! We get it, it was firmly established that you‘re a very successful partner at your firm…why do we need to keep hearing you state how you‘ve paid for everything and/or how much money you‘ve made for yourself?! So glad this ended quickly. #bookspin #bookspinbacklog

TheAromaofBooks I remember thinking that a huge problem with this book is that it was terrible at being a P&P variation... I just felt like de la Cruz got all the character motivations wrong when she was “updating“ the story and it annoyed the bejeebers out of me. 2y
JackOBotts @TheAromaofBooks agreed! This is only the 2nd P&P variation I‘ve read, and I much prefer the former 😆 2y
TheAromaofBooks Always sad when you feel like the zombies improve the story better than the 21st century 😂 2y
JackOBotts @TheAromaofBooks HAHAHAHAHAH! Yes! 😆😆😆 2y
