pickI‘m apparently in a Hilderbrand mood as my last 3 books have been part of her Nantucket series. Although this book didn‘t have any recurring characters- as it‘s the first in the series- I loved it all the same. Perfect beach book- complete with twists, drama and love stories. I also loved how all the characters were experiencing existential crisis of sorts. Relatable.
pickSoledad and her 3 daughters are blindsided when her husband gets arrested by the FBI for embezzlement. She has to figure out how to save herself and her girls from financial ruin. There is a lot in here about sisterhood, great friendships. Her love interest, a great coparent with his ex wife, has twin sons with varying degrees of autism. To call this romance seems unfair because it feels like it‘s much more than that. A strong pick.
@CBee when I saw your post, I immediately thought of the tagged. It‘s on my #BookSpinBingo & #readyourebooks lists for August. 🤓
But, I was reading your post while waiting for my drink in the bookstore cafe. As I turned onto the bookfloor, this was the display I saw. This is also on my TBR & #ClearMyShelves lists. A sign? 🤔
I‘m going to read one (or maybe both) of these for the August #TBRtarot prompt.
so-soNo. 9 in the Rutshire Chronicles series, and one of the best in the series so far; the story is good, the characters, although often caricatures, are still somehow well-developed. I do worry about Cooper‘s apparent necessity to include at least one incidence of sexual violence in each book, though. It may have seemed “acceptable” in 1985, but by 2010, when Jump! was published, I‘d like to think we‘ve moved on

so-soIt was ok but just not for me.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickOne of Hannah‘s first novels and it‘s clear that she has a page turning writing style. Characters are mostly likeable, good plot, and I like how the story is told but, again, romance is a driving force for confidence and life affirmation for the characters. Good, not great.

pickFrom the first chapter I felt connected to our main character Nell. She is in her forties, a past full of misadventure and failed relationships and is now renting a room from Edward.
There's a lot of humor here, and compassion too. I loved her friendships with both her immediate friendship group but also her developing friendship with Cricket, a woman in her eighties, recently widowed.
There's fun, there's trauma, there's grief, there's community
