pickThis was not my typical book, but I very much enjoyed it. It had a good plot, amazing characters and personally I do not love animals in romances - this one totally worked. I think it helped that I had watched the movie it was adapted into a few years ago, so I didn‘t have to think to much about what was happening and I already had a picture of the characters in my head. Overall - would recommend!

Headed to Kauai for the day for meetings, a focus group & an All Hands dinner tonight. Sitting in the quiet bustle of the lounge waiting for my flight & writing today‘s haiku:
Neighbor Island Commuters
Dawn at HA lounge
Bustle, chatter, coffee scents
We nod, take to skies

so-soThis is a hard one to sum up - it‘s about a marriage that is falling apart after the individual‘s dreams don‘t work out the way they hoped. The characters are well drawn, but it took so long for the book to get moving. I had to switch from print to audio to keep me reading in time for our book group discussion. #wickedwords : bet, school
so-soThis month‘s #bookclub pick led to a lively discussion! Revolving around grief, this details the brief but devoted marriage between Josh & Lauren. Told in his perspective moving forward from her funeral & hers moving back to the start of their relationship, this structure frustrated me at times because I wanted a stronger foundation for their relationship to share in the grief. But I loved the concept of the letters & tasks— an engaging listen!
so-soI'm not sure this was the best book for me right now. I mostly enjoyed it but I don't know. Some of it seems like personal opinions on art and the future and the economy disguised as part of the narrative. And the ending really depressed me! But still, most of it was humorous and poignant and relatable so don't pay me too much mind.
pickEssays aren't a go-to genre for me, but a Southern girl transplanted to NYC? Sign me up. This was delightful, & the author's voice was perfect. Will definitely listen to more of her collections.
⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickAhh, that‘s better. (Sighs with the relief of having taken quiet refuge in a delightful, absorbing reading experience).
Marriage, or any long term romantic relationship, is hard. This cleverly written and uniquely structured short novel explores one such relationship.
A most excellent read.
panNope… not for me. My April #ReadOrDonate book is going straight to the donate pile.
#HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead
I have no idea where or when I acquired this book, so I think that makes it a perfect #ReadOrDonate candidate! What will everyone else be reading?
