June reading wrap up and first #bookspinbingo of the year!! 🙌 Favorite reads were Fahrenheit 182, We Could Be Rats, and Trumpets of Death which was an ARC I received that comes out in August. I still need to get a proper review out, but it‘s a graphic novel to watch out for! 🍄
Great discussion so far for The Chelsea Girls! Our next #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead is Kent‘s historical fiction account of the last woman set to be executed in Iceland.
Read at your own pace. Discussion on July 31st. I will post periodic check-ins throughout the month. All are welcome to join! I know several are planning to join in for the discussion!
pickThis series keeps getting better and better. I love to read about this era. I don't think I would want to live in it, though. #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 #ISpyBingoJuly @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks
