Pickpick

This book has been sitting on my shelf for years after an impulse buy at a thrift shop. I had previously enjoyed #SomethingBorrowed and liked #SomethingBlue even more.

While it is at times predictable, the issues it tackles are ones every woman debates in life. Emily Giffin is excellent at telling love stories, so much so that my heartbeat increased noticeably during the big moments.

Would recommend for a fun, unchallenging read.

Reading Lab Girl in bed. I‘ve laughed myself silly (“pajakis”) and nearly cried (damn you Chapter 8 and your heart-rending timeliness) in the span of about thirty pages. #SundayReads #LitsyInBed #somethingborrowed #LitsyAtoZ #J

RealLifeReading I loved this one! I listened to it on audiobook and her narration was fantastic 7y
nelehelen This is my next read! Excited 😊 7y
mrsmarch @nelehelen It‘s amazing! I borrowed this from @trueisa4letterword ages ago, after she found the ARC at a fair after I heard Jahren on NPR. TOTES AMAZE. 7y

Something Borrowed | Emily Giffin

It's #throwbackthursday, and I'm thinking back on #somethingborrowed and #somethingblue, which I read for the first time in a binge the year after college. I remember both fondness and frustration, as with most books.

What books are you throwing back to this week?

The start of catching up on my challenges - I like it too much to just skip days! #Day7 #Booktober #SomethingBorrowed... most of these have been borrowed for an embarrassing amount of time and I've read... 1 and I just borrowed another one 😬

Catching up on my #Photobookchallenge #BookTober for Oct 7th and 8th. Above are some of my recently borrowed books #SomethingBorrowed from my local library, lots of great #DiverseReads as well!

Suzze I have Padma's book on my iPad and The Vegetarian on my shelf. I wish I could find a way to read all the books I own at once. 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Suzze Me too! I keep trying to find ways to read more and read faster... but it never works because I just keep adding more books! 8y
Suzze @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I got 3 books from the library and bought 3 books in the last week. Plus I got 2 books in the mail from Paperback Swap. Help! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Suzze You are asking the wrong person for help, LOL! We are an enabling group here!👍 8y
Suzze @Riveted_Reader_Melissa And I love it! 8y

#somethingborrowed #booktober #library
I went a little overboard with library holds this month...

missjenniferlowe The Lie Tree looks so good! I haven't gotten to that one yet, either. 8y
DivineDiana You go, girl! 📚 8y
TheBookDream Careful! They'll cut you off. My state got pissed at people putting too many holds and they kind of gutted the library loan system here. 8y

Cortg Thank goodness for renewals! 8y
GardenJess I went overboard too! So many books, so little time. 8y
The_Literary_Jedi Sometimes my eyes are bigger than my open reading time and I'll check out 30 books in a single rush. Our system has a limit on how many holds you can place too. I've used it to my advantage often but sometimes when a bookclub is doing a book, it's hard to get it - I've missed out almost every month for all 5 of my book clubs because I can't get the book and I have a very limited budget to buy 8y
quirkyreader I try to keep it a five books checked out at a time not to loose anymore of my sanity. At one point my library system let you check out 100 books at a time. Let's just say I completely lost it. 🐸🐙 8y
Petitesmerveilles Glad I'm not the only one! 8y
annahenke @thebookdream we have large limits on the amount of holds, so I'm not too worried. 8y
annahenke @The_Literary_Jedi obviously, mine are too! 8y
TheBookDream We did too until the state cracked down on the library because they said it was too expensive. Mind you, these are interlibrary loans 8y
annahenke Oh, that makes sense. I live in a city so I'm just borrowing from my own. 😊 8y

For #booktober days 6 and 7. It's both #fullofadventure and #somethingborrowed. This copy is mine but when I first read it, I borrowed a copy from my dad who borrowed it from my grandmother.

For @RealLifeReading #booktober #OutOfThisWorld I am spoiled for choice, but I'm going with one that can also double as #SomethingBorrowed. I've had this book for ages because I'm afraid to start it. This series made me lose faith in humanity, but the second book ended on a hopeful note. And so I've let it linger there, with this third and final part as a sort of Schrodinger's book.
