My #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for June. I'm in the mood for DoD, might start that later today. 😊
@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I enjoyed A Deadly Education, although it's kind of rambly so it's not for everyone 😂 20h

Not enough “wows” for this one - absolutely brilliant!! Read to familiarize myself with her work because Bear is a #CampLitsy24 choice - and @BarbaraBB loved it so I thought I might too ♥️ Beautifully written, and each story came together seamlessly. Learned a lot about a place I know nothing about. Best part was the ending, just incredible!

Soubhiville Agreed! I thought this was an amazing book. Really looking forward to Bear. 4w
CBee @Soubhiville me too 👏🏻 4w
BarbaraBB Thank you for trusting my opinion 😊. I am glad you loved it too and am looking forward to reading Bear together 💕 4w

sarahbarnes I‘ve been wanting to pick this up too since we picked Bear for camp and I haven‘t read this one. Glad to see you and @BarbaraBB liked it! 4w
LeeRHarry Just seen I‘ve already stacked this already - maybe I should check if my library has it. 😊 4w
Deblovestoread So glad this was on a prior year #AuldLangSpine list…so good! 4w
Amiable I really liked this book, too! Went to a local book club meetup where they were discussing it—when the majority of attendees started trashing on the book because they didn‘t like the structure (ie different character viewpoint in each chapter), I knew this wasn‘t the book club for me. 😄 4w
CBee @Amiable I wouldn‘t fit in at that book club either 😂 4w
CBee @sarahbarnes hope you like it when you get to it 😊 4w
CBee @LeeRHarry hope you like! 4w
CBee @Deblovestoread I saw that you loved it too, we have such similar tastes 😊 4w
SamAnne So good. I need to put this on the list for a reread. 4w
CBee @SamAnne definitely one that I‘d consider rereading at some point 😊 4w

I'm excited for May's #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books 😊 @TheAromaofBooks

marleed Two good books to pull from a TBR! 1mo
bookandbedandtea @marleed Yes! These have always sounded great to me but I've always been reading something else whenever I'm reminded of them. I'm glad to finally make them a priority this month! 1mo
GinaKButler Loved both of these! 1mo

bookandbedandtea @GinaKButler I'm glad to hear they're as good as I hope! 1mo

19-24 April 24 (audiobook)
Again, the depictions of late WWII New York and Berlin were compelling and the post-war journey around the US was also interesting. The way PTSD was dealt with (or not) at that time also seemed authentic. But the relationship between the characters was awful and bordered on abusive at times. I don‘t believe a relationship would survive such nastiness nor some of the things they said. And the amount of sex was absurd.

I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

Some of the most unflinching writing I‘ve ever read. And that last line is a gut punch. (Pictured my old метро stop)
