This was a fun and funny roadtrip story. Twenty-one year old Tanner loses her college soccer scholarship and gets a job as a live-in driver/caregiver for eighty-four year old Louise. Before she knows what she‘s gotten herself into, she has snuck out of the house in the middle of the night with Louise for a cross country adventure of a lifetime. Some hilarious moments as each learn from one another and form an unlikely friendship.

Austenland: A Novel | Shannon Hale

Jane Hayes has always been obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, and is looking for her Mr. Darcy. When her aunt passes away, she finds out that her aunt has left her a trip to an immersive Jane Austen-themed resort as part of her will. This was a very light, fun read!

CogsOfEncouragement I really enjoyed this as well as Midnight in Austenland. I remember going to the movie with a friend when it came to theaters. Hilarious. 12m

Loved this one!!! Gus and January both fresh out of a different type of heart break meet again. The typical lines of healing, heartbreak, family baggage, and individual restoration. Let‘s face it…I‘ll take Emily Henry‘s story of two author‘s stuck in despair turned lovers any day. 💗

1. Tagged. The Earthquake Bird by Susannah Jones. I remember being obsessed by it some years ago. - I even once missed my commuter train stop on my way home from work at theatre in the middle of the night because I was so hooked 😅
2. Unheimlich (=eerie, uncanny), a YA romantic thriller omnibus by Ursula Isbel. Got it on my 13th b'day. Still reread it every once in a while.
3. After Dark and/or Dance Dance Dance, my two faves by Haruki Murakami.

StaceGhost Yuki I love your choices! Murakami is such a good reread. I think my most rereads are boring— Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables, and Anna Karenina. 7h
dabbe Yowza! 3 I've never heard of and now on the TBR. Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 6h

Yuki_Onna @StaceGhost Classics aren't (necessarily😉) boring! At least not Jane Eyre😁
I've never read the other two. I must say that I'm impressed by your rereading of Anna Karenina 🤯

Ugh. Hated it. The smut scenes aren‘t even worth it. Just go read something on AO3. I‘m glad I got this as a freebie because there is no way I‘d forgive myself for wasting money on this… I told my husband I don‘t think the author has ever actually had sex or at least not fulfilling sex. 😅 Red flags everywhere. I literally got the heebie-jeebies from the cringe. 😖 I hope the super powerful AI the MMC created destroys them all. 🤣

I loved this book! I read it in a day, and I couldn't put it down.
A wedding planner who doesn't believe in marriage gets involved with one of her vendors, a florist. I love how the present-day storyline is in her point of view, and the past is in his point of view.
It is a cute rom-con type story with a bit of spice.
