I did it! I managed to use all owned tbr books for this months photo challenge. I had to dip into my nook for one but otherwise all others are on my physical pile and the tagged book is one of the newest books I‘ve recently purchased. Thanks for hosting @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Congratulations 🎊🎈 on achieving that goal! Thanks for playing 💙💙 11mo

A lovely beach weekend of pups, books and gelato.

DogMomIrene Soooo even though this is a bookish place, I‘m still the person who notices the lovely green coloring on your pup‘s harness. So pretty and springy in itself😊 12mo
mrp27 @DogMomIrene Aw thanks! She‘s actually my aunt‘s dog but I had the pleasure of dog sitting her over the weekend. I agree the green harness is pretty. 💚 12mo

What a read to start the year with. Brilliant writing as always with Boyne; quite a dark novel but I loved the humour within it, the way each section focused on a different character viewpoint all in relation to Maurice, the ending…there wasn‘t much about it I didn‘t like. A rollercoaster read of a book with a despicable main character. Couldn‘t put it down.

squirrelbrain I loved this one too, despite Maurice being so awful! 1y
BarbaraBB I felt the same. Great review! 1y
erzascarletbookgasm I loved this as well. Oh Maurice! 1y

Megabooks I wasn‘t a fan of how he depicted an aromantic character. We get so little representation in literature that I hate seeing a negative portrayal. (edited) 1y
youneverarrived @Megabooks I get that! ❤️ 1y
BiblioLitten Even the ending was so good! It made me chuckle despite his character trait. 14mo

Thanks to my library for suggesting this as a skip the line copy! I did enjoy listening to it, but I didn‘t realize it was somewhat of a sequel! I never read Tom Perrotta but I‘ll prob be looking for other works by him, eventually.

Quick read, with a slew of distinct characters who tell this story. I finished it quickly and it is entertaining, but some characters that were included provided distraction from the others that had depth and could have been really interestingly developed. The ending was forced and unnecessary. Ok, entertaining read.

“I want to be a success…It‘s all that matters to me. I‘ll do whatever it takes to succeed”.

Oh Maurice! What an unforgettable protagonist Boyne has created. I loved this book.
