pickToday is the first day of my summer holidays and it is 30 degrees Celsius of perfection on my deck. Just finished this book which was 80% delightful and 20% 🤷♀️, which makes it a pick for me. We'll be discussing it at bookclub on Monday night.
pickI got this for free from #botm since it was the book of the year for 2024…I wanted to see what all the hype was about. At first, I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like it (it‘s character driven which isn‘t my preference) but I ended up enjoying it. I was entertained!
#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!
Just finished this and I hate that it‘s over!
pick6-8-25: My 39th finished book of 2025! Phoebe, a divorced professor, travels to the Cornwall Inn in Rhode Island to splurge on herself. Depressed and at the end of her rope she encounters the wedding people. Gathered at the Inn for Lila and Gary‘s wedding week. When Phoebe and Lila encounter one another in the hotel elevator their lives become entwined for the better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣3️⃣9️⃣
pickI found a main premise of this book ridiculous (the maid of honor thing), but the good writing and fun characters made me enjoy it anyway. Soft pick.
pickThis audiobook lives up to all the hype. After weeks on hold I finally got it on my Libby App. What happens when a suicidal English professor meets a possible Bridezilla in the elevator of a swanky hotel? You have to read this funny novel - I was listening in my car and snorted my soda out while laughing too hard. There‘s some serious stuff mixed in with the fun. I want to know what‘s happening to all these people now 😹👍👍🐉❤️
It really was a tough call this month between Fredrik Backman‘s MY FRIENDS and Alison Espach‘s THE WEDDING PEOPLE. I went with WP basically because it was the first book I‘ve read by this author, whereas I‘ve read several Backmans so I sort of knew what to expect.
