Looks like I'm going to struggle this month

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Maybe a lavender or tangerine will fall into your lap. :) I'm always completely convinced that my shelf is riddled with whatever color until I actually go look!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Well, most of mine are on the kindle, so I rely on my shelves here.

interested to see Canada on your list. It's a book I own but never seem to get around to reading (it was from a library booksale.) Looking forward to seeing what you think.

[Bonnie]

I'm going to try and read and . I say try because I've started and put them both aside already. Not that I don't like them really, just because I own them (kindle and real book) and got so behind reading borrowed books and books for bookclubs.

[Jennifer, Moderator]

I have the same issue, Bonnie. I'm 2/3 of the way through a long kindle book I've had going for about a year because it keeps getting interrupted.

I bought it ages ago & can't remember why ... probably saw a recommendation by someone on GR. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Lavender - .

If anyone needs a suggestion, I happen to be reading a NF book that has both lavender and tangerine in the cover:


At first, I didn't think I had any other books that fit in this category, but I did find a few. Not sure which one(s) I might read in April:

I've heard such great things about Anthropocene. It's on my "to read get" list.

I love this author, although I have not read anything by him in several years. I look forward to your opinion on this book.

[Rhonda]

My picks are and (my copy is much more tangerine than the yellow in this picture).

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Picture looks pretty tangerine to me on my computer, Rhonda. :)

I loved, Where the Crawdads Sing! Hope you enjoy it as well.
Good Luck, Lindsey 😊📚

Finished my book for April:

Recapitulation by Wallace Stegner - 4* - My Review

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Joy, I've never read Stegner. I added the two books you talk about because of your review. Thank you for posting that.

I confess I'm envious of you reading Fluke this month. I'm caught up in that series except for the very newest one. It's a fave!

[Rhonda]

I finished . I wanted to like it more than I did. 2 stars for me.

That's disappointing. I hear such good things about this series, and I read the first and enjoyed it. Maybe I'll rush through it to get to #3.

Finished Neon Gods (with a lot of skim reading.) I really enjoyed the retelling Hades/Persephone storyline, but I should have paid attention it was also listed as erotica and the sex was way past my personal comfort level, plus the kind of sex I find yucky. Still, skimming that, the actual characters and story were fun.

[Lance]

If this has enough tangerine on this cover, this will be my selection for that (just found out I was granted an advance copy)

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Looks good to me....

[Lindsey]

I read the 1st of my many picks - . This is the secomd book in The Walk series. 5 strong stars. You go on soul searching journey reading these books as the MC makes his journey walking across the US. I laughed, I cried, I loved it!

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Sounds like exactly what a book should be, Lindsey.

[〰️Beth〰️]

Finish An enjoyable YA fantasy set in a medieval setting where the young heroine is a police woman in training. A great mash up of fantasy and a police procedural. Four stars

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Sounds like a good book, Beth!

[Jackie]

.

I gave it 4-stars. It was a very unusual book so it kept my interest throughout.

[Jennifer, Moderator]

I like that author but I've been on the fence about that book. Maybe I'll check it out again. :)

[Mhari]

Well then, time to finish this one

Finished B is for Burglar now too. I had read A is for Alibi and was considering reading the whole series now. I may still, but not back to back. I liked it, but not as much as some of the newer stuff I'm reading/want to read.

[Rhonda]

Finished my 2nd book, . It was great! Twists, turns, and didn't slow down in any part. 4 stars.

[Jennifer, Moderator]

I haven't read him yet, Rhonda. Guess I should!

[Rhonda]

Jennifer wrote: "I haven't read him yet, Rhonda. Guess I should!"

I have read several of his books over the years and always enjoy them. Hope you find one that interests you!

[Eileen]

Finished 5 stars

[Laurel]

April - finished Crocodile on the Sandbank
Fun to reread this, but I don't think I'll reread the whole series.

[Jennifer, Moderator]

@Eileen: good thing I'm not in danger of having my TBR under any sort of control, because you just added to it.....I'd hate for you to be the one that finally toppled it....

@Laurel - I know what you mean. I have a hard time rereading series where there are so many books I haven't read yet sitting underneath the one that Eileen just put on top of my pile....

I'm the same on that series. I do like to read them occasionally, especially if it's on a cheap e-book deal or at a library booksale.
