I meant to post this yesterday, my April picks for #Roll100. I only managed to read one of the March books, but I blame that partially on my books being boxed up for half the month. Looking forward to doing better in April!

All Better Now | Neal Shusterman

pick

As always, Shusterman asks a very interesting question in his latest YA science fiction story. What if there was a pandemic, one with a mortality rate higher than Covid, caused by a virus that, if you survived, left you feeling content…happy…unburdened by negative emotions, a need for money, a new found wonder for the world… How would you react? Would this be good for the world? Or bad? Really, really interesting story & a lot to think about.

DogMomIrene His questions always grab me. Glad you liked this one. I‘m definitely looking forward to it. 2mo

All Better Now | Neal Shusterman

#BookMail from yesterday. Not sure when I‘m going to read this one, but I‘m guessing soonish since Shusterman usually delivers such great YA dystopian badness in the best way.

TracyReadsBooks Very excited to read this one! 2mo

DogMomIrene @TracyReadsBooks He‘s an auto-buy author for me🤓 2mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I‘m number 1 on the library list for this 😁 so exciting 2mo

DogMomIrene @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Isn‘t it the best feeling to be the first hold for a library book? 2mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage It is! 2mo

Ddzmini I just got this yesterday in the mail 👍🏼 2mo

DogMomIrene @Ddzmini Yay! I‘m reading a bunch of books for challenges so I may be reading lots of reviews for this one before I actually read the book. 2mo

Ddzmini @DogMomIrene same ☺️ 2mo

I found this novel to be both enjoyable and thought-provoking. How a virus can be seen as man's greatest threat and a saving grace, depending on where you stand. While the length of the book was intimidating, the pages flew by. I don't know how well this book will go over with a YA audience, but it works from an adult's perspective.

DogMomIrene 🙌🏼 Excellent! Just got this one yesterday. Love me some Shusterman! 2mo

Master of Murder | Christopher Pike

bailed

I‘m not sure where I picked up this Christopher Pike book. I enjoyed Pike as a teen but after about 50 pages, I‘m bailing to move on to other reads. This was my #Bookspin for January.

Bookzombie My decorations are still up. I was a little late getting them up in December so I‘m enjoying them a little longer. 3mo

Sweettartlaura I LOVED Pike as a teen/even college student. And I‘m re-reading Weekend with my 13 year old niece - some of the references are dated but the story is holding up. But I picked up a more recent one of his in the past decade and … 👎🏻🫤. I finished it. But I was disappointed 😔 3mo

Reggie I have a coworker who keeps her tree up all year long and she‘ll just change the ornaments to fit the holiday. 3mo

DogMomIrene @Reggie I think my husband may be joining her club. He‘s loving our tree, so it‘s still up. He says until the end of January, but we‘ll see😂😂😂 3mo

Bookzombie @Sweettartlaura How fun to be reading with your niece! I think I would like to revisit some of his others like Chain Letter and Witch. This one just wasn‘t doing it for me. 3mo

Bookzombie @Reggie I‘m not that committed, lol. Even though after it comes down the house feels kind of bare. I could see doing it with a small tree though. 3mo

Lessons in Fusion: A Novel | Primrose Madayag Knazan

When I say #auldlangspine is my favorite reading event every year, I mean that I have participated in every iteration of this event & it‘s the thing I most look forward to in January. Some of my all time favorite books have come from this event.
Here are my favorites from the past years:
2024 @Karisimo The Eyes & The Impossible
2023 @xicanti Lessons in Fusion
2022 @JackOBotts Sigh,Gone
2021 @BarbaraJean How Long ‘til Black Future Month
⬇️

MeganAnn 2020 4thhouseontheleft (who doesn‘t seem to be on Litsy anymore? Or changed their handle) Far From the Tree. (edited) 4mo

MeganAnn 2019 @TheKidUpstairs The Namesake. And 2018 @monalyisha Bellweather Rhapsody in the original #freakyfriday event. (edited) 4mo

MeganAnn Every single one of these titles made it on my year‘s list of favorites. Although for some of these years it was hard to choose just one favorite book! Thanks to all of my matches for exposing me to such great reads! & thanks to @TheKidUpstairs and @Amiable for the inspiration to post my favorites! (edited) 4mo

TheKidUpstairs I love seeing the domino books - I think I read Bellweather Rhapsody from your list, I never knew it came from @monalyisha 😁 4mo

Zuhkeeyah Ooo I spy a book from the list you gave me this year! @meganann 4mo

MeganAnn @TheKidUpstairs I love the domino books too! There have been several books I‘ve read based off @monalyisha‘s recommendations or reviews over the years that have ended up on my favorites list. She has stellar taste! 4mo

MeganAnn @Zuhkeeyah definitely! There‘s a couple from my list that I read for #auldlangspine last year. It was hard to choose just one favorite! 4mo

monalyisha Thanks, Megan(s)! 🥰 4mo

Karisimo I‘m so sad that I didn‘t get my list put together in time to participate this year 😢 4mo

BarbaraJean I love this!! I'll have to go back and look at my favorites over the years. I read and loved Far from the Tree from your list, and it went onto my list the following year. Auld Lang Spine is the gift that keeps on giving!! 4mo

JackOBotts I love this, @MeganAnn ~ while I‘m not part of the fun this year, you can bet I‘m peeking at past year matches to screen shot their & their match‘s lists! 💜 Happy reading. And Thank You for such a great list in our year. 🙌🏼 (edited) 4mo

MeganAnn @Karisimo it‘s always such a busy time of year! Check out @JackOBotts comment. I‘ve been having so much fun looking at everyone‘s lists and adding to my TBR. A fun way to semi-participate even though you didn‘t get in on the official event. And I‘d love to see a list of your favorites for the year if you do get a chance to put one together! 4mo

MeganAnn @JackOBotts that‘s such a lovely idea! I love looking at everyone‘s lists. Happy reading and thanks back to you for a wonderful list as well! Sigh, Gone remains one of my absolute favorite books. 4mo

MeganAnn @BarbaraJean it was lovely to revisit all these past lists and choose my favorites. It also made me realize there are still a lot of titles on those lists I want to read and haven‘t gotten to yet! 4mo

Karisimo Thanks @MeganAnn I think I will do that! 4mo

Just Do This One Thing for Me | Laura Zimmermann

pick

My favorite book of the year! Drew‘s voice is so dryly funny it set me off over and over again. I can‘t get over the reviews interspersed in the text giving it all an over the top feel. Serious “Shameless” vibes made me guffaw on more than one occasion. I loved the fierce protectiveness of the siblings and the insane plan they pulled off together. Amazing! 😂
