When You Read This | 
pickALL. THE. STARS! I truly wasn‘t sure if I was going to like this one. Bought it was a great deal of trepidation. OMG so very good. I laughed and cried. Written through emails, texts, blogs it tells the story of Iris who dies from cancer but manages to still bring people together after she was gone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #readingchallenge2022 #marchreadinglist
pickThe day Iris finds out she has 6 months to live, she starts a blog. It‘s the only place she feels understood...I Love epistolary novels💙💗💙

Started a book when I should be sleeping and I'm already more than a third of the way through. My cats are disgusted with me for not being asleep.
I'm such a sucker for epistolary novels. Love them.
Carl the intern is so annoying and I just know he's going to do something that saves the day but I'll still hate him and hopes he falls into a mud pit
pickI devoured this book. Love. Love. Love. Not even my kind of book but so so good.

pickI‘m such a sucker for an epistolary novel. Really. And this does not disappoint. It‘s a romantic comedy that made me feel like I was joking about relationships with my best friend. Funny, cute, but not sappy, an easy 4⭐️ Definitely recommend!

panWhen Iris dies, she leaves behind her a hypochondriac sister, a boss with a gambling problem, a mother who raised her in hotels and a blog all about her fight with cancer. What follows is a story told through blog posts, emails and text messages. I found the narrative clipper and jumpy because of it. I also found the characters to be cartoonish with very little to redeem them. And Carl, the assistant who filled her role, was infuriating!
pickI was looking forward to this one, once I heard about this. This one gave me all the feels. I thought the author did an amazing job, portraying how people deal with death and how yes, life does go on, and it is ok.
A comedy-drama for the digital age: an epistolary debut novel about the ties that bind and break our hearts.
Iris Massey is gone.
But she‘s left something behind.
Told in a series of e-mails, blog posts, text messages, legal correspondence, and other snippets of our virtual lives, When You Read This is a deft, captivating romantic comedy—funny, tragic, surprising, and bittersweet—that candidly reveals how we find new beginnings after loss.
so-soI have kicked off this new year with a bit of a rom com streak... this one is more of a dramedy told in an epistolary/multi-media format. There‘s some extraneous detail that slows down the pacing and the plot is predictable- but I adored intern Carl aka CVS III - he stole the show for me!
pickIt's been a while since I read a book in one sitting, but I couldn't put this book down. A quirky, heartwarming, bittersweet look at grief - with humor, too. Full review will post on the blog sometime soon.
A day late! Happy Saturyay!
1. I love turkey!
2. Middle Eastern. Hummus, shawarma, kibbie. Yum!
3. I‘ve met tons of authors. My most famous almost met was Mick Jagger. I sat directly behind him at Cirque du Soleil Corteo in Toronto.
4. I‘m reading this book right now and really enjoying it. Comes out in February.

1️⃣ I do try to finish the chapter, if possible
2️⃣ I‘ll read whenever I get a moment to do so
3️⃣ I don‘t need quiet, i grew up with a large family so I learned how to focus in chaos pretty early on. I actually prefer to read with music on.

1. Not always, but I prefer to. But then I can never help myself from reading the first few sentences of the next.
2. Both, but struggle to read when I'm too tired.
3. I prefer relative quiet or ignorable chaos. I cant read with the TV on unless its sports.
