Pick! Pick! PICK!

This book has me convinced that I am really an alien. Adina's perception of things strikes me as astute and humorous, especially the part about lobsters. 🦞 She asks why something is instead of just accepting it, and so she is considered weird by some. So yeah, beam me up! 👽

I did have success on one #14Books14Weeks boards. #LibraryEdition for the win! And on the bright said my list of library holds is down 14 books. It‘s still 40+ so we are still struggling.

Thank you @Liz_M for hosting this challenge I needed it.

This was an interesting premise and a nice story but it didn't draw me in like I'd hoped. It struggled to hold my attention and I enjoyed the other letter mysteries he solved more. The ending was right for the book but it also felt a little rushed. I would have liked to have seen more with him and Clare at the end. That being said it was still a good read. #Netgalley 3*

Last nights #FridayHappyReadingHour … it turned into a busy evening later , but I did relax and have a glass of vino earlier. White wine , and Pringles, and still reading Our Evenings for Bookclub. I find it‘s a book I can‘t read quickly. It‘s a lovely book so far.

Aims42 Pringles & wine is a perfect combo!! Yum!! Your book sounds so good also 😍 Cheers! 24h

This was such a unique and quirky read, both funny and philosophical. What is required for your life to be considered meaningful, valuable, worth living? What might we be missing that is right in front of us? This was a fun read am grateful to the author for the vulnerability he took in writing Cyrus‘s character. This was a fun and enjoyable read. I would highly recommend for readers who enjoy character-based literary fiction.

This was just so-so for me. Because it was quite slow-slow. Excellent message though, I just found the MC uninteresting. (32)
⭐️: 3/5
