Magical Readathon: Orilium - Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Aeldia 2025, The Boardgame - April Update

   

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read in April for Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Adelia, The Boardgame, an additional challenge to G. @ Book Roast's Magical Readathon.  You can see my full tbr here.  Without further ado, check out my mini review below:

❋ ❋ ❋

The Thirty-Nine Steps (Richard Hannay #1) by John Buchan is a solid classic adventure mystery series opener.  It doesn't really waste any time and jumps right into things.  As much as I liked this early take on early take on James Bond or George Smiley though, I definitely preferred the adaptations from 1935 by Alfred Hitchcock and the 1959 by Ralph Thomas.  If I'd read this before I'd seen either of those, I might have been a little more hooked on this 110 year old story than I ended up being.  I haven't decided if I'll continue the series, but I'm glad I've checked this off my tbr.

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

Next Month:

May - 4D → 5D A Sundancer! (can it be?? You spot a dancing troupe of Sundancers. This is so incredibly rare, you cannot quite believe you’re witnessing it! You cautiously approach but keep your distance so not to disturb) - book where a main character is a dancer (or dance is important part of the book)

My choice: Elizabethan Life in Town and Country by M. St. Clare Byrne - I found this 1961 history at a used bookstore ages ago.  It is the only book that I can think of that I own that features dancing.  It seems to have several sections that focuses on dancing - there are even several entries for it in the index.

Have you read this book and are you participating in this challenge?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
