Burial Rites | Hannah Kent
post image

This month's #BookSpin number is 6 - which tees me up for Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. I really really want to read this, but unless I make remarkable progress on my #SubjectiveChaos shortlists I'm unlikely to have time this month. Still, we'll see...

rabbitprincess Burial Rites has been on my want-to-read list forever! 5y
Joanne1 Oh it‘s so good. Perhaps pop it aside for next month if you don‘t get to it in April 5y

Right - my #BookSpin challenge, updated with a new entry at number 12 for March! My March reading plans are very #SubjectiveChaos focused, but I should have time to squeeze in a #BookSpin read along the way. We'll see how enthusiastic I am when the numbers get called 😂

TheAromaofBooks Glad to have you for another round!! Is #SubjectiveChaos an official challenge, or your personal tag for what you're reading?? 5y
imyril @TheAromaofBooks it‘s a Kind of SFF Awards that I‘m on the panel for - this year‘s nominees: https://onemore.org/2020/02/01/subjective-chaos-2020-nominees/ 5y
TheAromaofBooks That is so fun!! And it looks like you have some awesome reading ahead. I think all the books in the Fantasy category are on my TBR! 5y
imyril @TheAromaofBooks it‘s madness but the reading this year is EPIC. I don‘t think we have any category front runners - it‘s a wide open field. 5y

Woop it‘s #FriYAYintro time!

1 shamelessly. I can‘t resist a gorgeous illustration or sweet typography - I‘ll pick it up every time (the blurb still has to seal the deal tho!)
2 I picked up The Deep at Forbidden Planet as a birthday present to myself, ready for my #SubjectiveChaos reading
3 The Beeb, the Grauniad, tinterwebs
4 straight up - but my bf is a snoozer 😱

Unholy Land | Lavie Tidhar

The #BookSpin number of the month is 18 - which for me is a 2018 #SubjectiveChaos nominee (I don't generally read/vote in the first round of the cross-genre category, so I missed it last year). January isn't one of the months I was planning to BookSpin as I'm focused on catch-up to finalise my 2019 #SubjectiveChaos nominees - but oh, gosh, tempted. I'll see how I go?

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks So many books, so little time!!! Keep me posted on if you end up reading it - I may have a drawing at some point in this process, with posted lists/completed books as entries. 5y

I Still Dream | James Smythe

This is beautiful. Haunting. Wistful. Hopeful. Would we recognise the singularity when it happened? Could it be compassionate? This book pushed so many of my buttons it had me ugly crying. Twice. Love and loss and memory and sense of self and legacy. I‘ll need to mull it for a bit before I can write a sensible review.
