This is a book that is going to stay with me long after today.

I am speechless with how much I want to talk about this but also aware I don't have all the words I need to use to express how amazing this book really is. At moments, I was left breathless, hair raised and goosebumps all over from the tension and fear radiating from the pages and in some moments just held in suspense at what I was hearing as Joniece Abbott-Pratt narrated this book

Idk why, but I just can‘t finish this book. I keep trying and trying. I guess with everything going on I‘ve just been blah… 😑 I hate to dnf books but life is short!

Read4life Sending love to you and William. 💙💙 If you‘re not feeling it, either DNF or hibernate it. 🐻 #hailthebail 6d

Littlewolf1 I agree… it took me a while to realize it, but I would rather read something I enjoy rather than something that bores me or makes me miserable. (edited) 6d

AnnCrystal I agree with Read4life and Littlewolf1. I learned long ago, that forcing oneself to finish reading a book that does not spark an interesting hold...it can be stressful. 🙏🫂💝. 6d

AmyG I hope things ease for you soon. I say bail. Read something you actually enjoy. 6d

Mimi28 I agree with what everyone said. I am praying for you and your family 🤗🙏🏽🫶🏽😊🩷😉 6d

Deblovestoread Chiming in. The minutes we get to spend reading are precious, don‘t waste them on struggling to read something just to finish it. Sometimes it‘s just not the right book or just not the right time for that particular book. 6d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read4life thank you Lynn 🩷 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Littlewolf1 yeah me too. I read somewhere to subtract your age from 100 and to give a book that amount of pages 📃 I‘m going to try that! That won‘t be many pages at all though 😂 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal no need in more stress! I just always wonder why I don‘t like books other people love! ❤️ 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AmyG thank you Amy 💛 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Bookwormjillk ❤️🤗 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Mimi28 thanks Michelle 💜 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Deblovestoread thank you friend ❤️🤗 5d

julieclair Everyone‘s lives are in different seasons. For whatever reason, this may just not be the right season of your life, for this particular book to be right for you right now. Put it back on the shelf for now… it‘s not quitting, it‘s just re-prioritizing your TBR! 😘 5d

AnnCrystal @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I always believed that every story sparks differently with each reader...if a reader doesn't feel even a small sparkling of interest for a read, it just means the story isn't meant for that reader. Just an idea 📚😉💝. Also agree with julieclair. I've returned to reads that I couldn't read once upon a time, only to discover a treasure. (edited) 5d

Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve never heard that😂😀 about subtracting from 100! So I guess that‘s why I like picture books LOL. But seriously…don‘t fret about DNFing. If it‘s not right for you, follow your instinct 🫶🏻🫶🏻 (edited) 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @julieclair so true! Thank you 😊 🩷 4d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal thank you 🩷🤗 4d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs haha! That made me laugh! Thank you friend 🩷 4d

So unique and funny. I loved the set up-a reality show that gives two strangers 6 weeks to convince their families they are in love and getting married. And they have to plan a wedding at the same time. Shenanigans ensue and LGBTQ+ vibes abound. I get the hype! #pride #ownvoices #BookspinBingo Finished this just under the wire for 3 bingoes! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1w

Reading in the car at William‘s appointment today. He had a stress test and they wouldn‘t let me go back with him. Home now and sitting on the back porch. We haven‘t heard officially, but his stress test was abnormal. I‘m sure a heart cath will be scheduled. He also has to have another sleep study because his bipap isn‘t working. Please send us some prayers and light 💙🙏🏻
