Filler book to hit a category of #AsheCoNCReading Challenge : a book by Kristin Hannah 😂
I respect her ability to churn out books people love but she‘s not for me. I searched Libby for anything short of hers that was available.

TheBookHippie I loathe her writing if that helps 🫣🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂🤣😅 pie looks good. 2mo
JamieArc I am not a fan either. Way too depressing. She assaults you with tragedy after tragedy without any payoff. That is not why I read 😂😂 2mo
BkClubCare @JamieArc - My friend that got me into this challenge is actually boycotting this category!! 2mo
BkClubCare @TheBookHippie yeah, no FOMO for me. I did happen to read a few pages of The Women, but then NOPE. 🙂‍↔️ 2mo

So good. Took me way too long to get into but that was all me and too many freakin‘ mundane things to attend to (like cleaning and j-o-b). Gotta love a book that upon finishing the very last sentence, tears threaten and so I must laugh instead. Pick! Stack it!

BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - have you stacked this to your tbr? I think you would like it. 💖 🤗 2mo
AvidReader25 I‘ve never heard of this one! Stacking now. 2mo

After difficulty finding an audiobook immediately available on Libby for Pride Month, I decided to search for a banned book. This is one that I selected. So important and so astonishing to me that someone, some “many”, would prefer that this book not be available. So sad. 💔 My offer to the Resistance is to celebrate empathy, respect, diversity, and inclusion.

Pic of my latest pie: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day was June 9. Finished the book on June 10. #iLovePie #WiaN2025 Alliteration category #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge celebrity category #June2025 Book54

I enjoyed this, she is extremely driven and her journey has been full of adventure. I love the Pitch Perfect movies.

I can see why many have loved this read but it just wasn‘t for me. I didn‘t get fully invested nor swept away and once I read a few meh reviews, I couldn‘t unread those impressions but only then found I was in agreement. On to the next read! #June2025 Book53

BkClubCare Also, I need to prune the clematis 🤔 3mo
BarbaraBB 💯 % agree! 3mo
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - on the pruning? 😄 3mo
BarbaraBB What else 😉 3mo

Audiobooked and skipped a few chapters; needed a “female leader” for the #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge. #June2025 Book52

ChaoticMissAdventures I hate when people say this but I found her lack of humility throughout this book a bit jarring. I felt throughout she was saying never in her career has she made any mistakes. It is a biography and she can portray herself however she wants but I didn't think it was done with much self reflection. 3mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - I actually was cognizant of your thoughts on this as I listened. I could agree and yet I also didn‘t get an impression that she was over boastful. And she is right about the current regime wanting to wreck tradition. 3mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - reading your comment again: “I hate when people say this” What do people say? Do you mean being critical of women being TOO humble or NOT ENOUGH but men don‘t get the same criticism? 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare yes, totally, I hate to hear or say that women should be humble, men never get that criticism. I think in general women need to be more loud and proud about their work, but I also think we should own our mistakes. I am glad to hear you don't really agree. I might need to read some of it again. 3mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - well, just know… I am not a close follower of her at all. I am newer or lapsed follower of congresspeople in specific. So I really came to this wondering why, for example, my father hates-her-with-a-passion. So I was inclined to like her version of things , ifyouknowwhatImean 😏 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare ha! Yes the more certain people hate some politicians the more I like them. My big complaint with her is she needs to pass the torch fully. But that is a bigger general political issue. 3mo

Uh. . .

What WAS that?!

Cannot wait to discuss this! #CampLitsy2025
#June2025 Book51 (and yes, the plant is called Mouse Barley (aka Foxtail) which the bane of dog paws 🐾 everywhere and it is horrifically prolific this year in my neighborhood!)

BkClubCare Notes to self: really impressed with the writing, the style, the sentence structure and vocabulary. It felt like either 2 versions of a story, or unreliable narrator, or delusions vs exploring alternate realities, or two different stories!! But wowza. Never bored (tho I could imagine a few of my reader friends HATING it 😂) 3mo
Ruthiella My backyard is full of foxtails. It‘s a never ending battle in the summer and the weeds usually win. We‘ve been to the vet already once to get Penny‘s ears checked. 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures Foxtails are a cure!! I am really curious for people on this book... Have you ever read Mona Award? 3mo

squirrelbrain I‘m looking forward to the discussions, and hopefully some answers too! 🤪 3mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - yes! I have read 2 of Awad‘s, I think. She seems more straightforward or I plugged into her whacky more? All good. I liked Kitamura‘s prior book - similar vibe. 3mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - the stickers get into Copper‘s paws like magnets. 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare I meant curse! Silly autocorrect. I don't have dogs but I walk my bff's often and learned about them when she got the dog. Awful things! I just found the dream like quality of Audition to feel (to me) similar to cannot wait to discuss! 3mo
