    Pesky library! 😂 The TBR Clear Out is probably the one I should be taking full part in! So pleased you’ll be joining us for PT! People April is so fun. I’ve always wanted to read The Man in the High Castle. A fairly sensible tbr!

      Not too bad, right?! The library is absolutely derailing my giant bookshelf reading but it was me who ordered all the books from them so not really their fault I must say! 😂 Looking forward to finding some time for picture books! 😊📚

    I'm rooting for you !!! Hope you give your TBR a knockout blow !! Two books I'll be reading in April are books 10 & 11 of the Borrowed World Series by Franklin Horton . It's a post apocalypse series, that you would love. ! Have a great day and time reading ! 📘📗📚

    I'm hoping to read something for People April, Alcott April and definitely the clear out of the TBR April readathon.

    Interesting TBR! Fingers crossed
    that you get most of them read! I think you've already read more of Ulysses than about 99.8% of the world - lol.
    For April, I am doing my first Booktube buddy read with Dutch Greybeard - The Lies of Locke Lamora by Lynch. I'm very excited!! I also plan to read at least 6 mysteries of some sort and to finish The First Man In Rome by McCullough (it's a huge historical fiction that I've been reading almost as long as you have been reading Ulysses 😟), and Young Queens by Chang. Enjoy your reads!!
    Your hair is getting to be quite long! It's especially pretty today 🙂

      Thanks BJ. Hope your first buddy read goes well and good luck making progress with your big book. If there are people who have made it further with Ulysses I would love to ask why! 😂📚

    Good selection! Hope you manage to get through a few of them. Glad If nobody speaks still on your list. Happy to lend I Am and hope you get round to Piranesi ,think there are aspects of it you will like. Happy April reading!

      I’m thinking some of my WP nonfic books will also qualify for people April. Thanks Em. 😊📚

    The TBR clear out is the most sensible one to do this month but I am not even scratching the surface with that one alas. I hope Piranesi works for you. I adored it. I also love If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things.

      Thanks Ros. Looking forward to trying all of those. Hope your People April reading goes well. 😊📚

    I’ve heard The Man in the High Castle is really good. I’ll be interested!

    Plenty on your shelves to keep you busy there. Bet wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great reads.

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf
      @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf  9 місяців тому

      Always plenty to read so I hope I get to some of them. Hope you have a good reading month. 😊📚

    The only readathon I'm participating in in April is People April, which I love.
    And I'm trying to clear out my tbr for years and did better last year than the years before, but it's still not good enough. My main "problem" is, that I can't stop borrowing books from the library.

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf
      @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf  9 місяців тому

      Excellent! It’s such a good readathon, I need to get on and read the Maggie O’Farrell. Currently, my library problem is very very problematic- I have more loans at the moment than I have ever had before and it feels quite out of hand! So, it’s no wonder my TBR doesn’t go down fast in WP season. 😂📚📚📚

    I'm reading from the Womens Prize and the Australian Stella Prize, might even read a couple from the International Booker. I really need to read from my shelves, I've started with some from my poetry collection, Emily Dickson and a couple of goodreads nominees from previous years (I tend to unhaul those ones, not really my sort of poetry normally).
    If I finish my library books, I'm thinking of reading Anne of Greengables as a cosy read. Probably read by whim after that. Happy Reading 🙂

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf
      @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf  9 місяців тому +1

      That sounds like a great month of reading! I really want to get to some Emily Dickinson poetry soon. Anne of Green Gables is always a good one for something cosy. Hope you enjoy your books. 😊📚

    I have just ordered the Fomo book so hopefully will be able to take part if I manage to read it . I am sad because my library is not open at the moment as it is been refurbished I will not be taking part in The picture book readathon which I enjoyed taking part last year .

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf
      @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf  9 місяців тому

      That’s a shame about the library. I hope to get some picture books from the library. I hope you get to read some good books anyway. 😊📚

    Almost stuck to 10 matey - the real question is how many of those 11 will get read and how many will be sacked off for library books 🤔

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf
      @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf  9 місяців тому

      Well at the moment I’ve read 0 of these and 4 library books and one audio so you’re spot on there! 😂 Oops.

    Piranesi is a divisive one but I predict that you will like it.

    Is it bad when my newest book came out today, the book I'm reading came out 3 days ago, and I have another preorder coming in this month? lol
    (The 3 books are)
    - The Hidden Guardian by J.D.L Rosell
    -Godilla x Kong by Greg Keyes
    -Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes

    • @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf

      Sounds good to me! You’re probably a lot more on top of your TBR than me! All three sound exciting. 😊📚
