Today my heart is…guarded. On one hand, the news is horrible, and the situation in LA is yet another issue of disagreement in the household. On the other hand, I was born in California, so if they secede perhaps I could apply for birthright citizenship? #mentalhealthmonday

Kerrbearlib Perhaps! Where were you born in California, if you‘re willing to share? I used to have family in the Fresno area, but they moved back east. 5mo

Susanita @Kerrbearlib My dad was in the Navy, and I was born in Monterey while he was stationed there. 5mo

ncsufoxes We lived in San Diego for 11 years. My kids grew up there. It‘s devastating to watch what‘s happening in LA. California will always be a special place to us. 5mo

Back After This: A Novel | Linda Holmes

LOVED this! I‘m not a romance reader but I do love me a cute little love story! Linda Holmes has hit it out of the park for me, three for three. Substance and depth and humor and friendship and career and love - and a happy dog. PS: I‘m a very sweary person IRL but I truly appreciate that aside from a very well-placed f-you near the end, the author gave us characters with language skills that exceed my own, making cursing unnecessary. Lovely! 5⭐️

Another thoroughly enjoyable book from Holmes. And great on audio. Insider podcast info, a cute waiter, a Great Dane inspired meet-cute. What‘s not to like?!

britt_brooke Sounds cute! 5mo

A bit like Thank You For Listening, but about podcasts rather than audiobooks. I had some niggling issues but mostly enjoyed it, and there's a nice “worm turns“ arc for the main character. The author also narrates the audiobook.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I really liked it. I also have a Harlequin Great Dane (Sabrina) and the author depicted one perfectly. ❤️🐾 Super cute romance. I'm eager to read others by her. #romance #dogsoflitsy

This was a sweet romance but also I LOVED the parts about content creation, taking charge of your career, not waiting for someone to notice you‘re working hard, and constantly reinventing your business with shifting markets. Plus bonus, the book takes place in DC and has nothing to do with government and politics. Yes, people do live here, which is apparently a story that needs to be told more.

Susanita Real people live in DC?? Who knew!! 7mo

Bookwormjillk @Susanita real live people! 7mo

I‘m not much of a romance reader but I will always read Linda Holmes (and Emily Henry.) Happy to have something fun to read on this cold, dark, rainy Monday. The library came through for me again.

BooksandCoffee4Me Don‘t know where this is but oh how I would love to look out of this window. Looks like a busy city street. Is it? 7mo

Bookwormjillk @BooksandCoffee4Me it‘s actually an open air metro platform in Alexandria VA just outside of Washington DC. So a little chilly but a good view. 7mo

This was funny, sweet and exactly what I want from a romance. I really liked learning more about making a podcast as well.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Adored this and found it a perfect and much-needed escape from reality! I especially loved that Linda Holmes narrated the audio version herself. My favorite of her three novels so far!

monalyisha Oooo. Thanks for the reminder! Perhaps this is the audiobook I‘ll choose for my road trip next weekend. 8mo

Christine @monalyisha Oh I hope you love it if you do! I was charmed. 8mo

monalyisha @Christine I loved Flying Solo. I bet it‘ll be a winner. 💙 8mo
