A feel good book but predictable. A good story to relax to.

The Book Swap | Tessa Bickers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

“The Book Swap” isn‘t a bad book. I enjoyed the premise of the book, and both protagonists are flawed in their own ways. The book is heavy on the miscommunication trope, and as someone who isn‘t a fan of that trope, it lessened my enjoyment of the story as there is a lot of it throughout.

The tagged book was my first read of the year, not the best book on books & reading I‘ve ever read , I did enjoy it . Her specialty is the history OF the book so she went deep on some elements of that I didn‘t get into. Short book & she did have lots of info in the appendix if you wanted to dig deeper, always appreciate that . #SundayFunday

SilversReviews My first book was fabulous. It was THE SECRET HISTORY OF AUDREY JAMES by Heather Marshall. 2w

The Library: A Fragile History | Andrew Pettegree, Arthur der Weduwen
Pickpick

Immensely detailed and comprehensive. If you‘re interested in the topic then you will enjoy this book. It can be quite dry and suffers from a disinterest in pacing. It‘s clear that the authors did an enormous amount of research and want to share it all

I wish Goodreads let you add private notes to your TBR. I add so many books that I know I'll only read if I'm in a specific mood or bc a specific person recommended it, and I'd love to note that somewhere!

Caroline2 Me too!!!! 🙋‍♀️ 3w
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think they have that on Storygraph.. (adding private notes) 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think you can only note in it on SG once you mark it as currently reading (then the journal button pops up) But it does give you tags you can mark at anytime and already tells you the "mood" of the book 3w

Ruthiella Maybe set up a shelf for each mood? 3w
xicanti LibraryThing has this option! Even non-private comments are pretty unobtrusive, too. 3w
ShyBookOwl @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures Oooh good to know! The mood tag could help 3w
ShyBookOwl @Ruthiella That could work! Thx 😊 3w
ShyBookOwl @xicanti Never heard of that but definitely looking it up right now! 3w
Daisey Once you‘ve shelved a book in Goodreads, you should be able to if accessing on a computer. I can add private notes by clicking “Edit my activity” from the book‘s page after it‘s shelved or from the My Books page if notes are check marked to be visible. 3w
ShyBookOwl @Daisey 😯 cool!! I'll check that out 3w
