April Bonkers TBR Game | Starts and Finishes Rough, but Middle is Nice

[@Aimzthereader]

Lose spot suggestions : big book (ie 500+ page book), pick 2 books for one prompt, pick 2 prompts and the book has to match both, finish a series, read from an author you didn’t like before, book with a cover you aren’t drawn to, roll the die and go back that many places, add a turn/book, book you previously gave up on

[@JaneReads]

That's for some great suggestions. 👍 I will definitely be using some of these when I make the cards.

Enjoyable to watch, as always! I like watching you work through the dilemmas of the game! 👍🎉 ❤️ You and that elusive redhead! 😝😊

[@JaneReads]

Will this prompt hinder me moving forward with this challenge? Maybe one of my books will surprise me and have a redhead.

[@colleentennant702]

I started listening to Anne of Green Gables. I'm really enjoying it, so if you have it on your TBR or want a good classic. She is a red head.

[@JaneReads]

I do want to reread Anne someday but I don't have book one currently.

[@pamelamcarthur5131]

You have such a good variety of books to read for April! It's so fun to watch you build your monthly TBR! I haven't picked all my books for April yet. My first read is The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. I hope you have a wonderful Easter!💐🐰🌻

[@JaneReads]

Happy Easter to you too. I enjoy playing the game even if it likes to challenge me.

[@Mandy302]

This was so fun!! If you’re looking for a book with a red head and you like fast pace, intense, suspenseful, and humor. C.C. Warrens has a really good series called Holly, the first book is called Criss Cross and the main character Holly is a red head.

[@JaneReads]

I've seen this series around, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@tibbarasden]

I hope you find a redhead! That is a hard prompt to fulfill. I hope your reads go well. Have a great month.

[@JaneReads]

I'll be paying close attention to the hair color of each character as I read in April 😅

[@charollatecrowe6475]

I am going to read The Maid of Ballymacool by Jennifer Diebel. The girl on the cover had red hair.

[@protagonistspub]

What a ride! The rating for Dear Henry makes sense to me, I DNf'd it but I know Katie and Amanda loved it. Hoping it is a better read for you! My most anticipated for April, A Beautiful Disguise by Roseanna M. White. Happy Easter 🙏🌼🌸🙂

[@JaneReads]

We'll see how I feel about it. Game took me on a ride for sure.

[@ReadJournalLove]

You’re doing great on your bingo! I’ve only marked off like 6. Hoping to check off 1 this month. You’ve got a good pile of books for April. That is pretty shocking about Dear Henry. I really liked that book. I gave it 4⭐️. Hope you have a good Easter!

[@JaneReads]

I'm making much better progress on it than I did last year. I am still so shocked about the rating of Dear Henry as I've heard so many people say they enjoyed it. Hopefully I will too.

[@ReadJournalLove]

@@JaneReads I hope so, too. The townspeople make the book. I laughed a lot.

[@nikkiakerson]

I know there’s a redhead on Laura Frantz’s book A Bound Heart. I think it’s what it’s called. Looks like a lovely stack!

[@JaneReads]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@gretchen6475]

You ended up with a nice mix of authors and genres for April! The Berlin Letters by Katherine Reay is waiting for me at the library - I am really looking forward to that. I have enjoyed Tamara Alexander. Her books are faith filled readers peopled with layered, deep characters. Looking forward to your thoughts on these books!

[@JaneReads]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Tamera Alexander. I will be starting her book soon. Hope you have a great reading month.

[@mariannej8454]

My suggestion for a redhead character is Sandra Orchard's Port Aster Secrets series.

[@JaneReads]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@tineraloves3943]

If you have an Audible account you can listen to the audiobooks for the Tamera Alexander series. The series is called Timber Ridge Reflections. Book 1 From a Distance, book 2 Beyond This Moment and book 3 Within My Heart. I did not see the ebooks on any platform.

[@JaneReads]

I'll check this out.

[@ThisLittleLightLife]

🌷💗

[@samsbookishfavs]

i think you should be nice to yourself and if you can’t get your hands on book 1 use the next book in the randomizer that is doable! Same with other prompts if it gives you book 3 and you’re on book 2, I say read book 2! Ofc only if you want to play that way but I think showing yourself some grace is always great 🫶🏼

[@JaneReads]

Thanks for the encouragement. I've found that adding a book later in the series is hard, but it always encourages me to prioritize progressing in the series quicker.

[@polly2900]

The Good Sister by Jess Ryder has two red haired girls on the cover .

[@JaneReads]

I've never heard of this book, I'll need to look it up.

[@annriddle6921]

I started reading, “Into The Whirlwind” by Elizabeth Camden that I am hoping to finish in April. I am also hoping to finish or almost finish “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs” by Senator Josh Hawley. Maybe I will be able to start “A Light to My Path” by Lynn Austin. It is the last book in her Refiner’s Fire series, so I will be able to complete one of the two series I have started between 2022 and 2023.

[@JaneReads]

I'm always for completing series. It's an accomplishment.

[@paperbacksandponytails]

Really? Dear Henry, Love Edith was lowest rated?😱😳🥺

[@JaneReads]

I was shocked 😲
