Library book!! #nonfic #toomanybookstoolittletime
Today‘s #litsytob24 bracket has another runaway winner!
Hello Beautiful gained 16 votes, with only 3 (Ruth, Holly and Debra)voting for Lovesick Blossoms. Personally I liked both of these books, but we had to pick just one, didn‘t we?! How difficult a decision was it for you?
We put these two books together due to their portrayal of entangled relationships - how do you think each book dealt with this theme?
I am not going to finish this one. It is so long and it feels as if I‘ve read this story a thousand times before. I am being very critical about what I‘ve been reading lately. I am reading a lot but nothing really memorable. I think I should take a break from contemporary American/English fiction for a while but I probably can‘t! #ToB23
#UnpopularOpinion I really wanted to love this book but too much of it felt fabricated - A contemporary story of Maddie, a 25 yr old British girl born to Ghanaian parents. Maddie‘s father suffers from Parkinson‘s and she‘s his main caregiver leaving little time for herself & her own pleasures. A story of growing up, familia love, grief, acceptance and self love. Good for a debut but overall lackluster. #NetGalley #CoverCrush
Some books are set in a certain time and feel timeless. King's books feel like the movies MST3K would make fun of. I was 18 in 1996 and have ZERO recollection of Hee Haw having been on tv... I think this is one of the hardest things to get past with his writing. It's like talking to that one relative you had who peaked in 11th grade in 1972 and can't talk about anything else...
What a difference 5 years and a deeper dive into her backlist makes! I didn‘t care for this in 2017. I found it slow and maybe a bit dull. However, coming back after reading her other books, I can tell it was a passion project for her, which I appreciate. The small details of WWII Brooklyn and the tenderness in her portrayal of Anna just touches me.
This is not the best place to start with Egan, but it is a fine place my dive to end.
Canine reaction to the human who spends more time adding to #MountTBR than scaling it.

It‘s the 1st July Baby! Wooo! This is my over ambitious July & August TBR pile. Can‘t wait to jump into these over the summer! 😎 🍹 🌞 #mounttbr

This book sits on a TBR shelf, forlorn. Love the cover. #toomanybookstoolittletime
Outside my window is a waxing crescent moon.
I have way too many borrowed books right now. Libraries, Libby, Hoopla, ebooks, audiobooks, book books! So, I forced myself to assess the situation, with the hope that I will not lose any of them to missing the deadline! This one is due back first, and it has a waitlist. So, giving it some priority. 🤞🏻#toomanybookstoolittletime
