So the other day, I was anticipating The Repeat Room would be on the long list and so I used 1 credit and then I found out it‘s not on the list so I was able to return it. Yay! (I find Jesse Ball a little bit perplexing.)

sarahbarnes I agree with you on Jesse Ball. 1d
squirrelbrain Great when you can send them back…they wouldn‘t let me with the last one I tried with - must have returned too many. 😬 (edited) 1d
BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - Yes, I was relieved. It has been a long time since I have attempted to return one. Is it so many per year? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 1d
squirrelbrain I‘m not sure - I rarely return but had sent a couple back recently. The one I tried but failed was Glorious Exploits - I just couldn‘t get on with it. I might try again as I‘m a completist so I suppose that‘s a positive of not being able to return it. 🤣 1d

Very similar to Backman‘s Ove, but from the POV of a middle aged woman. Phoebe is not as boring as she presents, she‘s very witty and very likeable . Heavy content, but many comedic moments that make it an easy read. Book #100 in 2024

1. I love both, but would probably go with spots if forced to choose.

2. My daughter & I are doing a read-aloud of the tagged book, which we borrowed from the library. ❤️ the Vanderbeekers ~ we‘re sad it‘s the final book in this series.

Finished reading this before the election. I was trying to read an easy breezy novel and this fit the bill. A woman goes to a hotel to end her life and quickly becomes unexpectedly enmeshed in a week-long wedding party. This was funnier than I expected and had a great trajectory for the main character. A pleasant read with an abysmal cover.

BarbaraBB Looks like such a fun read! I know @Megabooks loved it! 2w

This came recommended by one of my book group members - and they were right, I loved it! This fancy Newport boutique hotel is both the scene where one woman plans on ending her life, and where another is holding her extravagant 6 day wedding celebration. They become unexpected confidants, and change each other‘s lives. #bookspinbingo #doublespin

Jjaxn95 I work at a restaurant and a couple weeks ago a woman had this book on her table and I asked her about it and then she just gave it to me to read!! I haven‘t cracked it open yet but I can‘t wait! 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2w
Sarahreadstoomuch @Jjaxn95 omg that‘s so cool! Readers are the best. 2w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Been in a slump. Came across this while wandering Litsy for the first time in awhile and really liked it! Licking her wounds after her husband‘s affair and subsequent divorce (and a pandemic) Phoebe books a room at a fancy Newport hotel where she plans to kill herself. Instead she connects with a bride, gets folded into to her 6-day wedding extravaganza, and finds new, more honest ways to live, and things she wants to live for.

sarahbarnes Great review! 3w
