1. Groggy, just waking up. It takes a little awake time for my head to clear.
2. I'm going to a presentation on pressure canning beans today. Ridiculously looking forward to it. 😀
I just finished The Midnight Library. It was a slow start for me but once I realized it was all about your mental health it became quite powerful to me. I am going to buy a used copy to highlight the heck out of it.

Love the concept and story but there is just something that is not keeping me as engaged as I would like. Pacing? Writing style? Just trying to figure it out.

pickSaw a lot of mixed reviews on this book. Nora is depressed and decides to take her own life but instead of dying she finds herself in what is called The Midnight Library where she can go back in life and try to live the lives she regretted not living before. I thought the story was very introspective and had a lot of good points to make you appreciate the life you have. Not my favorite but a decent read nonetheless.
Started this audiobook. I've seen quite a bit of mixed reviews on this on. Hope I enjoy it. :)
panPage after page of someone wallowing in self-pity. Not only is it a downer, but it‘s a bore. Depressed, don‘t read. Insomnia, it will help you sleep.
pickRead this book for book club and think it will be a great one to discuss. It had many topics one can relate to in one's life - mental health, regret, small and large decisions that can affect/change the course of one's life and impact other's lives, the power of books. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read.
My library got an upgrade for Christmas!! So happy with this space.
pickThis one juuuuust squeaks by as a "Pick" for me. I really enjoyed the fast pace and quick chapters as we tag along with Nora living other possible lives. This is a feel-good story that doesn't shy away from incredibly dark themes and situations - which earns it points from me!
That said, the book could have been shorter. The end felt a bit pandering and predictable - at times minimizing the depth at which many struggle with choosing to live.
