Broccoli!? 😂 Good choice for that one. I'm glad The Heir and the Spare made your tbr for the month.

For broccoli, I would've picked, With the Fire on High or a foodie mystery.

hahahahha broccoli!! I think I would have gone w/ a gardening theme but I totally think that broccoli like shape on the back of your book totally counts! I have just been blindly picking books off of my shelves. I really liked A Midnight Dance.. I think you will like it.

Love the cover of Five Feet Apart. The trees and flowers are gorgeous. Been wanting to read the book. Saw the movie and loved it. It was good but sad

Hahaha! Loved the broccoli! I think you did a great job. Also, as the one who suggested the flamingo that you kinda also balked at, if you ever get that one, fear not! I figured there are lots of ways to go with it - pink theme, bird theme, tropical theme, beach theme, shrimp theme (you never know!), middle age (since some people get pranked with flamingos on their lawn when they turn 40), long legs, etc. Flexible interpretations are part of the fun of it! 😃

So many of these books you shared had beautiful covers! 🥦😂

I was laughing so hard when you got the broccoli. I think Catherine was trying to stump you. That was a good one! You did good though. I do like you choosing books using the emojis. It's fun to watch.

😂 I was so surprised! And stumped!

Emerald Windows was a great book. Broccoli or not! lol!

I'm reading Jane Austen at Home for JAJ as well. The broccoli, lol. I like the one you chose and I think it works!

Now every time I read a book I am going to be looking for broccoli 😂

The broccoli made me think of the Franklin story in which he hides the broccoli. I'm assuming it was a book. Looking briefly on my shelf, the one that made me think broccoli was a memoir called Moose about a young girl who's parents have her go to a nutritionist and"fat camp". I don't know what the book is like, but I'm sure broccoli is in there somewhere! Lots of those books can fit into the book bingo board.

That book sounds like it would be a great pick for broccoli!

Oof, the broccoli one is hard! I probably would have picked a book with a green cover or a cover with some kind of plant on it. I'm curious to hear what you think of A Midnight Dance. According to goodreads, it comes before The Lost Melody, so I was wanting to pick it up first, but I've heard no one talk about it to know if it's any good or not.

I love the broccoli emoji and what you chose! It's perfect. 😂 I loved Christy!❤ Lady Susan is SOOO unlike her main novels. Not one of my favs but I'm glad i read it and it did get my hackles up. 😂

Oh yeah! I've never heard of that one but it sounds like it would be a good option.

Broccoli is good for you, so I'd have chosen a book that I thought would make a positive impact on me in some way. It's a stretch, but...

You picked a good choice, if I was doing this prompt Broccoli for me would have to be a book abt a health nut 🤔 or something that’s a hard one!

That could have been a good way to go with broccoli!

The Daughter of Arden series (Exile is the first of the series) does take place in the middle of a war between kingdoms. I enjoyed that series, so I’m excited to hear what you think!

I think the very green cover of your pick covers broccoli as would the book with the word garden. My opinion 😊

I’m interested to see what you think of half a king! I have yet to read that one but I have read the first law trilogy and I think he is a really good writer!

Was totally waiting for Tolkien to come over and protest when you started filling his shelf with books. Love that you got broccoli. I have no idea what I would have chosen but I think the two books you chose worked well 😊

Haha, yeah, that is how Tolkien would normally act. He must have been somewhere else sleeping at the moment.

A Midnight Dance is also (loosely) connected to The Lost Melody. You'll recognize someone from AMD in TLM once you're done. :D Christy MIGHT be a five star read. I can't decide if you'll love it or not but most people really do.

18:20 IIRC, the Rook's main character's adopted daughter was a vegan

I've heard a book described as a "broccoli book" when it's something good for you but not fun. (Alrhough i like vegetables and don't like the anti‐vegetable pop culture narrative) Broccoli is an important plot point in The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett My next ballet book is A Lily in the Light by Kristen Fields A Christian fantasy suggestion is the "A classic retold" series, I'm currently reading Break the Beast by Alison Tebo which is a Beowulf retelling, I've also read Unearth rhe Tides by Alyssa Zavalianos Which is a 20000 Leagues Under the Sea retelling (my fav so far but I own 5 more)

😂 The perks of having an author in the house… can you possibly add broccoli?

@@ChantelReadsAllDay I think I might have added something that will probably be good for me in the long run, but maybe wouldn’t be the first book I pick up. Probably nonfiction 🍽️ I love that you found it in the cover art so much 😂

I would want my power to be practical but in a different bent - I think I would want to supernaturally know & be able to meet the needs of others practically. A hospital bill, college $$, groceries or land to raise food on…
