Welcome to Litsy!

1) Not usually. I need to start carrying some so when the revolution begins I can use it to buy stuff before the whole system collapses and it becomes tissue paper.

2)Miss Havisham is rich and she‘s FN nuts! But not rich enough for me to spend the remaining minutes of my life rereading the god awful book she‘s in.

1. Yes, I still carry cash, but not $3000 in cash. IYKYK
2. Some of the characters in this book are wealthy. Some characters are not. Some characters want the world to THINK they are wealthy. Therein lies a great deal of the conflict. #two4tuesday

1. Yes. I feel better knowing I have cash for instances where it‘s cash only, the tech is down and other reasons.

2. There‘s a very wealthy character in the tagged book. His wealth affects him in the first two books in ways different than this one. Love affects him more.

2nd in the Return to Hopewell series featuring Drew and Tamara, who have tight ties to the characters from the first book. I adore this town‘s quirky, meddling residents and I love the way the Trombo and Longfellow families have blended together. This author gave this series a great sense of place and I could easily see myself living in Hopewell. The best part of the story is Buddy the dog, who also played a huge role in the first book.

Here are my nominations for #CampLitsy25. I read the first two in ARC form, and highly recommend both. The other two are on my precious Libby holds list.

The Love Haters, by Katherine Center

Head Cases (PAR Unit #1), by John McMahon

Kate & Frida, by Kim Fay

Atmosphere, by Taylor Jenkins Reid

1) For many this book was nothing new but I recognized that voice in Ciara‘s head and became of that I couldn‘t help but root for her.
2) Meet Cute Diary - way too YA for me; Night & Day - short stories, my nemesis; I also DNF‘d Hester but I might try again. I think it was not the right time for it.

#MentalHealthMonday check in

#1. I‘m feeling anxious & overwhelmed. There‘re lots I want to do & I don‘t know where to begin. I wish I had a personal assistant to help me stay on track. 😩
#2. It depends on the affirmation, but overall I‘m not a fan. I especially don‘t like ones about money and success. Positive thinking is helpful tool in many situations, but it won‘t make us rich or solve all our problems. ⬇️

I like Becky but this memoir didn‘t go over for me. I wanted more detail & while I know some things have to remain mysterious there was plenty brushed off or sped through while analyzing the lead up in great detail -anything from matches to overcoming a mental health issue, there was more about unnamed fiancé #1 than Seth/Colby & I would have liked more about her mom life (may be biased I as a new mom). I liked the early years stuff though.
