Back online after a long long time

Well I was in a slump, insta slump, reading slump and what not.
Finally 1st read of 2025 , though a short story, it felt like a hug we need.
Backman's stories starts where I don't feel like continuing but by the end it's all smiles.

I‘m rounding up to a pick; I‘m not sure I really liked the MC, but I did appreciate the twist and liked the message I felt the author was giving.

Got a bingo for April #bookspinbingo with this one too!

Because of the recap at the beginning, this one wasn‘t as good. IMO, a second book in a short story should just assume that someone has read the first and carry on. Outside of that, it was a fun and quick read.

First book completed! This was a cute short story and I‘m curious to see what happens in book 2. Some of the dialogue felt stilted, but overall well done for a story of only 36 pages!

Starting out #deweys24HourReadathon in a cabin with my book club friends reading the tagged book while the rain continues outside. Hoping to be able to read around the fire pit later today!

A good story, about an introvert being dragged into interactions with his neighbors. Lucas loves his life, but when the apartment board wants him to get involved, it all goes to hell. Not a whole lot of action but a lot of introspection. Parts were funny, especially the way he solves his problems at the end.

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve had this on my tbr list simply because it keeps appearing on my”Recommended for You” lists. Now that you‘ve described what it‘s about, I‘m moving it to the top of the list. 👍 1w

I didn‘t read this entire book which is why I don‘t feel comfortable putting a rating for the book but I did read the novella that is part of the All the King‘s Men series by Kennedy Ryan. It‘s taken me forever to get my hands on this and I‘m so freaking happy I did. I loved it so much and it brought just as many feelings as the first two books did.

A nice paranormal short story. The ending was predictable but I still enjoyed reading it. Martin was a likable character.
