#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. About 600. I‘ve been going through the ones I‘ve read and offering them to family & friends. The ones not claimed go to LFLs, shelters, etc. #Roll100 ( @PuddleJumper ) & #ReadOrDonate ( @julieclair ) have helped me condense my collection.

2. Tagged.

Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView 🤓

PuddleJumper Ooft that's a lot of books! 1d

The Switch | BETH. O'LEARY

Perfectly lovely. A cozy city-country swap (grandma & granddaughter trade homes for two months) with generations learning from each other.

I realize there are bits in the story that might make it less cozy for others. Trigger warnings under spoiler in the comments.

CogsOfEncouragement Sister/granddaughter has lost battle with cancer before story begins, but is often discussed. A mother/daughter deals with severe depression. The MC has a cheating boyfriend. A character has an ex cause him to rarely see his 9 year old daughter. 1d

I was in serious need of some lighthearted reading, so picked this up again. I‘d read this one years ago, and I still found it amusing. I love the narrator‘s use of footnotes because it‘s sort of the way I speak… and it shows just how ridiculous that can sound. Good for a lighthearted and amusing read.

I bought this book secondhand years ago and forgot I even had it until I saw Netflix had made a movie. I figured I should probably read it, so I could watch the movie😂. Overall, I enjoyed it, even though everything lined up too neatly for it to be realistic. I will say, if you liked this book, do NOT watch the movie. They changed everything. The only good change was who she ended up with in the end.

#DynamicDs

One of the #Dazzling books that Judith Krantz wrote in the 1980s-90s that “helped define a new sub-genre of the romance novel - the bonkbuster or "sex-and-shopping" novel.” I both read her books & watched the dazzling mini-series & movies that were made from them back in the day. ✨?✨

LeahBergen Whenever I see her mentioned, I feel like reading one of her books again. 😆 3d

I read about this somewhere, got it from the library and read it at night before sleeping when The Light Pirate stressed me out too much. A light romance ( the male character‘s inability to remember condoms I think was meant to be scatterbrained but after reading Ejaculate Responsibly it just feels tone deaf)

Prairiegirl_reading Reviews like this are so helpful! Small details like this annoy me enough to DNF so now I know this won‘t work for me. 😊 The light pirate is a bit stressful isn‘t it? 3d
mcctrish @Prairiegirl_reading the first time it was fine, he wasn‘t expecting to hook up, the second time he was prepared but where were they, every other time he had to be prompted. They were there but WHY was she having to say anything. Condoms are not a running gag! My heart was beating too hard a lot of the time for The Light Pirate ( when it wasn‘t breaking) but it is soooo good 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @mcctrish oh that would annoy me! I want condom use in books to be how I like it in real life, just be prepared, put it on, and get on with the good stuff! 3d
