pickI absolutely loved this book. The plot, the characters, the family dynamics, the romance and how the family works through, or does not, grief, love, life without their patriarch and the legacy to the next generation.

pickI am so far behind in posting for November!! Marking these 3 off of my TBR list. The Other Daughter was a slow build. I almost gave up on it. The Things we Cannot Say touched my soul in so many ways. The Thursday Murder Club was just plain fun. I watched the movie after I finished the book and was completely delighted!!
pickThe funny yet emotional tone of this book was exactly what I didn't know I needed.
A blend of humour and tenderness that offers a different perspective on the darker parts of loss and grief. With its thoughtful pacing, clever dialogue, and emotional richness, Espach weaves a captivating tale of strangers meeting and, in more ways than one, helping each other out.

And the big day is here—here are the winners of the 2025 National Book Award! I thought A Guardian and a Thief would win for fiction (and it is so worthy), but Raja had my heart and I‘m thrilled to see it. El Akkad as the NF winner is spot on. But I am perplexed by the translated winner. I found this book impenetrable and Sad Tiger is just so good, I really feel it should have won.
pickFinally read this and loved it. I rate a book anymore not by the writing style but how I feel at the end of a book. 5 stars bc I loved Phoebe‘s realization that she is who she is and to just jump into what makes her feel good for herself. Excellent conversations that are depressing and funny!
pickThis took some time to get into, but once I did, I absolutely loved it.
I appreciate what Phoebe brought as a character. Her ability to just be and not worry about what anyone else thought of her was quite inspiring. The way she treated and spoke to Juice, she handled so many situations with grace. I just loved it.
This was one of those books that I needed to read at this time in life.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
