charl08 Have a fun trip! Coincidentally I'm just about to start

Case Study

squirrelbrain Have a fab trip! I think you‘ll like Case Study. I just got Seven Moons on Kindle. 2y

Ruthiella 😂 There‘s no 12 step program for book addiction! 2y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Cathythoughts @charl08 @squirrelbrain I don‘t leave until the 28th of August but I‘m definitely looking forward 🥰 2y

Cinfhen How true @Ruthiella 😂 (edited) 2y

Cinfhen I‘ll be watching for your reviews @squirrelbrain and @charl08 2y

TrishB Never say never 😁 have a fab family trip when it gets here! 2y

jlhammar Ha! Love it. It really is impossible to resist! 2y

vlwelser 😍😍😍😍 Seven Moons is on my wish list. Basically because it's pretty and not easy to get here. 2y

BarbaraBB You‘re sooooo predictable ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Cinfhen You‘re so right @BarbaraBB These impulse buys usually happen at the end of a long and tiring day, when I feel like I deserve a treat 😜so I‘m totally predictable!!! Hopefully I‘ll find time to read them while im in the states @TrishB because if im being predictable (😉) I usually read less while I‘m with the family🥰 2y

Cinfhen I just watched a YouTube video from Erik Karl Anderson and he named Seven Moons his favorite from the list @vlwelser which is all I needed to hear @jlhammar and once I was ordering one I felt like why not get the other book that caught my attention

Case Study

Megabooks Lol!! Sometimes you just gotta do it!! 2y

The blurb reads “playful and funny” but since breast cancer has directly affected two of my close family members, I‘m finding this book morbid and acidic. I‘m passing - it‘s not for me.

jlhammar That is completely understandable. I'll be interested to see how it sits with me. 2y

Chelsea.Poole Oh my. Definitely not for me. My mom is undergoing treatment currently for breast cancer. 2y

rmaclean4 Thanks for the warning. I have lost my sister and cousin to breast cancer. This may be a pass for me as well. 2y

Cinfhen I may be overly sensitive but cancer as a narrator describing ways to attack the body isn‘t working for me @jlhammar but I can appreciate that it might be interesting to others as a form of creative expression. 2y

Cinfhen Sending much love and support @Chelsea.Poole @rmaclean4 💕💕 2y

squirrelbrain I‘m sorry @Cinfhen - it is a tough read for sure. 😞 2y

BarbaraBB It is a tough read indeed and I understand why you can‘t read it. I am sticking with it because I am really loving the mother/daughter descriptions. Cancer as a narrator I can‘t really appreciate 2y

Ruthiella I‘m sorry to hear that.❤️ 2y

Centique Thanks for the trigger warning Cindy. I‘ll try it sometime probably but have that in mind. 💕 2y

Cinfhen Thanks @Ruthiella Thank GD they are both in remission and each have passed the 7 year marker🙏🏼 2y

Cinfhen Thanks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Centique I wasn‘t expecting it to hit me so hard but it did. I didn‘t find anything about the premise playful or funny 😢 2y

BarbaraBB That‘s absolutely true, nothing playful or funny 2y

Megabooks I‘m sorry friend. 💜💜 glad they are in remission! 2y

I hear this is actually fantastic in print, as form is apparently worked into the narrative- however I‘m an audio girl and this was available on #Scribd #Booker2022LongList I‘ve only just started but so far Im sold.

Cinfhen @squirrelbrain @MicheleinPhilly @batsy @vivastory @rmaclean4 @Cathythoughts @JamieArc @BarbaraBB @jlhammar @Ruthiella @sarahbarnes @Hazel2019 @Brimful @charl08 @squirrelbrain 2y

Ruthiella It‘ll be interesting to hear from you if the audio works with the structure! 2y

Hazel2019 I‘ll have to take a look. I am reading Case Study right now but this one is waiting on the shelf 🙂 2y

Cinfhen I‘d love to know @Hazel2019 and I‘m very curious about

Case Study

Cinfhen I‘ll keep you updated @Ruthiella 2y

squirrelbrain I loved it on audio as the form is worked in there too…. You‘ll spot some of the ‘quirks‘ soon as you listen…. 2y

Cinfhen Ohhh, I‘m excited @squirrelbrain to see how it‘s incorporated 2y

BarbaraBB I am listening to this one too at the moment and I agree with @squirrelbrain that it works pretty good! 2y

I really lack the skills to adequately review this #Booker2022LongList novel - audio narration is outstanding 🙌🏻It‘s coy and clever, claustrophobic and encompassing. Moments of humor peppered with the horrors of The Troubles happening off Island but still affecting those on the Island. It‘s a short novel but large in its delivery. I‘d be shocked if this doesn‘t make the long list.

Weekly Forecast | Thomas Gibson Inc

#WeeklyForecast August 7- 13 I pretty much stuck to my plan last week💕 I read 5/6 forecasted books plus my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin which I had forecasted too!! Im feeling pretty confident about this week‘s as well 🤩 History in One Act is a slow ongoing read but I‘m really enjoying it so that‘s the only book I may not finish this week. Curious about the two #Booker2022LongList audios ~ Colony has lots of good buzz, Maps more mixed reviews.

Cathythoughts You had a great week last week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I‘m looking forward to Colony ( must finish Trust first though ). 2y

TrishB The Colony looks interesting 👍🏻 2y

TheAromaofBooks Stuck to your plan last week?? Are you feeling okay?? 😂 2y

Cinfhen Right!??? @TheAromaofBooks I completely surprised myself!!! 2y

pick

A novel within a novel within a novel. What I expected from To Paradise and Sea of Tranquility, I pleasantly found in Trust. Fabulous title and excellent audio narration - Told in four parts, we slowly come to understand what and whom we can trust. A book about perception, wealth, mental health, fact & fiction. I really enjoyed the experience❣️ #Booker2022LongList

squirrelbrain, Cathythoughts, BarbaraBB

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 2y

Cortg Sounds wonderful! 2y

Cinfhen Thanks @TrishB not sure if you‘d have patience for this one but I do think @Cortg would like it 🤷🏼‍♀️😘 of course I could be TOTALLY wrong!!! 2y

See All 14 Comments

Cortg I love how we‘re learning each others reading habits and the types of books each of is is drawn to! 2y

Cinfhen Yup!! It‘s pretty cool @Cortg considering most of us have never “met” - although I did have the PLEASURE of meeting @TrishB ♥️ 2y

squirrelbrain Glad you enjoyed it! I haven‘t got very far yet but I think I‘m going to like it…. 2y

Deblovestoread I‘ve been on the fence about this one but the review says I should go for it. 2y

TrishB I may wait for an offer because it‘s not calling me yet! 2y

BarbaraBB I wonder if I‘ll have the patience for it when you think that @TrishB might not 🤞🏽 2y

Cinfhen Ok…so with my limited psychic abilities I predict @squirrelbrain @Kdgordon88 WILL ultimately appreciate the novel and @BarbaraBB will NOT have the patience for all the business jargon. I just think it‘s a harder read in print but again, I could be COMPLETELY WRONG 🤪 2y

Megabooks #tempted #stacked (edited) 2y

squirrelbrain LOL @Cinfhen - I‘ll let you know if you‘re right! 2y

BarbaraBB Haha! I‘ll keep you updated! You might very well be right! 2y

Trust | Hernan Diaz

Two hours to go!! REALLY enjoying this book. It requires some patience but I feel like the payoff will be worth it. A novel within a novel with MANY layers. A bit of business background is helpful but not necessary to understand the art of manipulation 😉

Cinfhen #Booker2022LongList 2y

KT1432 Ohh I got this from Literati a few months ago but haven‘t gotten to it yet! I‘ll have to bump it up on my TBR. 2y

Cinfhen Definitely do @lele1432 It‘s a good one 🤩It‘s a twisty set up but once you understand the pieces it becomes less confusing and more compelling 💗 2y

Just started this one from the #Booker2022LongList
I have high hopes although this book seems to be divided between loathing or loving 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cathythoughts I‘m still only half way .. I really like it 👍🏻 2y

Cinfhen I‘m about to start part 3 @Cathythoughts where I hear the story really starts to take shape!! I‘m liking it, too 2y
