Book 32 of 2025. We‘re watching the series, so I figured I would read the books first! I really enjoyed these! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Catching up from yesterday, this haiku is inspired by the exuberantly golden sunset I saw driving home one evening this week. 🌅

Golden Respite

In a burst of gold
The sun takes its daily rest
Ready for nightfall

I planned to read the series before watching the adaption, but but my B2 available-soon hold took longer than anticipated so I binged Season1&2 and was 2 episodes into S3 before B2 dropped. I‘ve now powered off my TV. I‘m having fun with this and wondering if I‘ll get to all 3 books and seasons in less than 2 weeks time. Right now I‘m not really feeling that I‘m a member Team Belly🤪. I like both but appreciate the simplicity of the books.

Eggs I read the books when they first appeared so I can‘t remember enough to state a comparison of bks/series…perhaps a re-read would help. I have opinions about the portrayals of Conrad and some others… 2w
marleed @Eggs It‘s interesting doing both almost simultaneously. I experienced the books via audio narrated by the main actors of the adaption so there‘s that too. Ohhh, I have so many opinions of these angsty teenagers. I love to meet them again at 40 and 60 and watch them watch their teenage selves. 2w
Eggs Wow I didn‘t realize the actors did the audiobooks. @marleed 2w

To my DIL‘s surprise I had neither read the books or watched the series. I changed that with a short weight on the six-hour audio for B1 and immediately followed it up by binging Seaspn1. I‘m always content when I like the book better, and that was true here. It was a simpler story with less drama and snarkiness, but I like the adaption, too (way more supporting character development). Now waiting on B2 before binging S2.

Lesliereadsalot Watched all the seasons and really liked it! 3w

Since the final season of the TV series is currently airing on Amazon Prime I not only want to watch it but I want to read the books the series is based on as well.

Anyways Happy Birthday to author Jenny Han! 🥳

Here‘s another page from my #WeekInTheLife project. I documented my plane read and adult beverage which mean I‘m officially on vacation. 😊
(Photos from June) I used stamps, stickers, and the cell phone is punched out of a catalogue.

Thanks again @Catsandbooks !

The Beach Club: A Novel | Elin Hilderbrand

I‘m apparently in a Hilderbrand mood as my last 3 books have been part of her Nantucket series. Although this book didn‘t have any recurring characters- as it‘s the first in the series- I loved it all the same. Perfect beach book- complete with twists, drama and love stories. I also loved how all the characters were experiencing existential crisis of sorts. Relatable.
