There‘s nothing wrong with this book. I just don‘t have any enthusiasm for it. And why bother spending time on books I‘m not enthusiastic about?

Did I need two new library books? Absolutely not. Did I pick some up anyway when I went in to make returns? Indubitably! #libraryhaul

Aims42 …. Wait. You can return library books without checking new ones out? SINCE WHEN? 🤪 I‘m on the “2 books returned, 3 new ones checked out” routine currently 3w
Clare-Dragonfly @Aims42 If I‘d been good, I would have used the outdoor book return slot and never set foot inside the library! 😅 I am doing well, though—I actually returned 3 and only checked out 2. 3w
Aims42 @Clare-Dragonfly 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Nice!! 3w

I wasn‘t sure what to expect when I started reading this Austen retelling, but it‘s so good. I enjoyed the modern spin with an interesting cast of diverse characters. Really good debut from Nikki Payne.

Bailed. If you like contemporary romance and Jane Austen, this is a fun read. I just am not a fan of contemporary romance.

Three cheers for making it through another week! How are you celebrating Friday night, Littens? For me, it's a flowery vodka drink and an adaptation of P&P that I'm fairly skeptical about. Either way, the #BooksAndBooze combo is making my night! #PemberLittens

dabbe Same here! (though the drink is vodka + Perrier + Crystal Light). Cheers! 🥃 2y

I am so picky about DC set books, and I loved this modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice that managed to both be true to the original and yet seem modern the whole time. Watching Liza and Dorsey figure it out was adorable.
