I really love Abbi Waxman‘s writing style. It‘s quirky and unique and so are her characters. Nina Hill is a very likeable woman who has anxiety and loves books more than people. She surrounded by supportive friends and newly found family. The planner entries in each chapter add a fun touch to the story.

This was a fun read. I have to say Nina was tad unlikeable during some parts because she‘s kind of a snob towards non-readers 😆

I knew I would like this book, but I enjoyed it even more than I anticipated! My # is #LoveMyBookishLife so, how could I not love it! I love Nina's humor, her lists made me LOL, & her commitment to her lists and her schedule is quite on par with mine. A book about a book worm who works in a bookstore and loves nothing more than going home to hang out with her cat and read. Sub my dog for her cat & it's me 😅 Quiet, calm, (cont in comments)...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I felt like I was reading my own life story! The similarities from book selling, trivia buff, anxiety, serial reader to finding your lost family after being an only child made my heart swell. What a delight!

Nina Hill has always been quite happy being alone and working at a bookstore, stomping other teams in the local trivia league. But she steps a bit out of her comfort zone when she is informed her father (who has never contacted her) has left her something in his will, she has quite a sizeable quirky family. She also begins sort of dating her trivia nemesis (with a lot of engineering from their teams). Pleasant enough but not deeply memorable.

This was a really fun book, full of awkward yet lovable characters. Nina is adorably an anxious mess #relatable
I loved watching her connect with her newly discovered family and learning to embrace change and put her trust in others. I hate that I waited so long to read this but definitely looking forward to the next book set in this bookish community!

August #wrapup

I didn‘t realize how slow a reading month August was! I‘m thinking Lady Chatterly took all my reading energy. Best of the month was Nina Hill and I was a little disappointed with Chain Gang as I really couldn‘t connect with the story.

I enjoyed this light and fun read. I want to join her trivia team and I felt her adherence to her schedule in my soul.

#weekendreads

Hope to complete these two books before the end of the month.

I related a lot to the main character, who is a loner-type obsessed with books and has anxiety. The book is humorous, but it could have used a sensitivity reader, as the jokes referencing children in Africa were not cool. If I overlook those, it was good, nerdy fun, especially with the trivia questions peppered throughout the book.

Aiming to read these two #Roll100 picks in August ☺️

Nina makes me smile 😊 💛 and flowers 💐

Listed to this one on audio. I liked the story of Nina & how her simple life gets turned upside down after her biological father she never knew dies. Nina is included in his will & learns of an entire extended family within close proximity. I liked also how anxiety was addressed in a story. It‘s important for mental health to be addressed as something that people can struggle with. Wasn‘t a fan of how her boyfriend dealt with her anxiety but it‘s

Happy Monday! We have several appointments today but first I wanted to share one of my favorite books with a #YellowCover 💛📚💛

3.5 stars, rounded up

Meet Nina Hill: A young woman supremely confident in her own...shell.

The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book.

Just to name a few!! 💛🧡💚❤️

I loved Nina and her quirky family & friends.

Adult Assembly Required is the #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD for March. When I put it on hold at the library, I saw that book 1 was available on audio. I‘m currently listening to Nina Hill and enjoying it.

Thanks, Misty, for introducing me to Abbi Waxman‘s Instagram 💙

“Being surrounded by books was the closest she'd ever gotten to feeling like the member of a gang. The books had her back, and the nonfiction, at least, was ready to fight if necessary.”

One of my all time favorites 💛

This book made me laugh 😂 that is worth mentioning cos most of the time I choose hardcore emotional books which are tearjerker. So I loved this one . This book has its own fan base mostly because in one or the other way bookish people can relate with Nina. Though I felt it‘s little dramatic, Perfect for a light read.4.5⭐️#bookspinbingo

I couldn‘t focus on this one. There were a lot of characters and it just took me forever to get through it and it felt like not a lot was going on. Disclaimer - I have been sick with Covid and think maybe that could have made it more difficult for me to get through this one. Maybe I will revisit another time when I feel better!

Loved this absolutely adorable book. Didn‘t hurt that I read it while relaxing in Horseshoe Bay Bermuda! 🏝

“It also meant she thought of books as medication and sanctuary and the source of all good things. Nothing yet had proven her wrong.” 💯

I LOVE Nina Hill! Can‘t wait to read all of this author‘s backlist!!

Never have I ever related to a character more than Nina Hill. I just loved this book and everything about it. Yes to all of it.

Been meaning to read this one for a long while. Happy to say it did not disappoint!

@TheBookHippie Goodreads seems to think this is a series. Just fyr....

#BigJuneReadathon #BigJuneReadathonPhotoChallenge

For today‘s #NameInTheTitle prompt, I went with the theory that two is better than one & picked six books from my stacks where both the first & last name are in the title.

I am of two minds on this book. On one side, I enjoyed the writing, I liked Nina, I enjoyed the small townish setting and the quirkiness that implies. On the other hand, conflict seemed resolved too easily and while I liked the love interest, he got on my nerves with his total lack of understanding even in the face of a full blown panic attack.

My reading buddy for a chapter. Then it's work time.

I love Nina!

My current bookstore haul with Peaches oblivious to my photo taking ways….

This was such a great book!! 🧡💙 I‘ve been reading several books about books and publishing so I finally picked this one up. I had borrowed it from my mom over a year ago. I read it in two days. It made me laugh out loud a few times and had a lot of depth as well. 5⭐️ and one I could see myself re-reading (and I‘m not much of a re-reader).
