The Nest | Cynthia D'Apriz Sweeney

"As the rest of the guests wandered the deck of the beach club under an early-evening midsummer sky, taking pinched, appraising sips of their cocktails to gauge if the bartenders were using the top-shelf stuff and balancing tiny crab cakes on paper napkins while saying appropriate things about how they'd really lucked out with the weather because the humidity would be back tomorrow, or murmuring inappropriate things about the bride's snug satin↩️

peanutnine ...dress, wondering if the spilling cleavage was due to bad tailoring or poor taste (a look as their own daughters might say) or an unexpected weight gain, winking and making tired jokes about exchanging toasters for diapers, Leo Plumb left his cousin's wedding with one of the waitresses." 1mo

1. I have 4 meals out and a wedding this week 😳 lots of food ahead, and an author event with @JenReadsAlot
2. The trio singing Hakuna Matata in Lion King as no worries and take it easy is good advice.
3. Warm weather for enjoying nature, sprucing up my yard.

slategreyskies When I was in Botswana years ago, a group of my friends and I were singing songs from musicals to pass the time on a bus journey. When we sang Hakuna Matata, our African friends were shocked, saying “Where did you hear that!?” Apparently, it‘s an actual phrase in the language. I‘d always assumed it was made up for the movie, but it‘s genuine. Cool, huh? 😎 2mo

Cupcake12 Enjoy all the food. I saw The Lion King in London last year and I loved it. Can‘t wait for spring. Have a good week x 2mo

peaKnit @slategreyskies what a neat experience for you, and yes, it‘s Swahili, how cool is that? Hakuna Matata! It should be a universal saying lol. 2mo

BethM What author event are you guys doing? 2mo

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this one, but I really enjoyed it! Maybe it‘s because I‘m currently binging Succession 😂 The Plumb family is MUCH less toxic than the Roy family, though 😬 Another #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction win and it‘s my #TBRtarot choice for February (author‘s first name starts with C).

Amor4Libros I really liked this one, too! 😊 2mo

CBee @Amor4Libros it was really good! I had this expectation based on negative reviews but was pleasantly surprised 😊 2mo

Amor4Libros @CBee that‘s exactly what happened to me. After I was done I felt as if I‘d read a different book than everyone else had 😅 2mo

Chelsea.Poole Love Succession! Maybe I should pick this up to fill the Succession-hole in my life. 🤔 2mo

CBee @Chelsea.Poole I‘m addicted! Keep in mind that the book family is way more tame 😂 But I‘m always up for a book about funky family dynamics, as you know. I just really enjoyed it! 2mo

lauraisntwilder I like this cover. The one I have is pretty, but this one seems better suited to the story. 2mo

CBee @lauraisntwilder I found this at the dollar store 😊 2mo

I enjoyed this book. I liked the treasure hunter vibes with newfound/old friends. Also, I liked underlining lessons and morals in this book. 5/5

I haven‘t been reading much since coming back from Aruba, but I‘m still here and thought you all would enjoy the disaster that having a Christmas tree and bengals can be. 😂

The Second Life of Samuel Tyne | Esi Edugyan

so-so

This was pretty slow-moving, but it was better than I expected. I didn‘t like the first book I read by this author (can‘t currently recall the title), but I decided to give this a try, anyway. Wow, those twins… something a little (a lot) wrong in their heads. Did not like the twins at all. In fact, none of the characters were particularly likable (oh, Ama‘s likable, but that‘s about it; felt really bad for her, actually). But the story was ok.
