pickWhoa. That was A LOT. A lot more than I thought it was going to be. I'm sure part of that's on me for browsing available non-fiction audiobooks and choosing one based on title alone. But even within the realm of 'economic crisis leads to more rustic accommodations', that was a lot. 1/2
pickForgive me for the blurry pic of Montie Sunshine, but the pet sitter sent me that. The tree is really where he sleeps. We might set it up somewhere else next year.
The book is about as sweet as this dog. Some difficulty with grief and animal cruelty, but in true Leslie Connor fashion, the book will leave you better.
@Graciouswarriorprincess I don‘t even know where to start!!!!! I am literally going to be covered from head to toe…cute nails, bracelets, socks, so many sweets🎉, and how have I missed these cute book bags?! A cup for each of my daily drinks and of course TBR‘s. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! A wonderful box💜🖤🧡 #HHS
pickThis was way more deeply emotional than I first thought this story would be. Had me in tears 😭 at several passages. It‘s a moving story of letting go of the past, being true to yourself, and fully opening up so one can love and be loved 🥰
Very well written and a page turner! 📖
Love it when one of my interests shows up in books. In this case tall ship sailing. The character Charlie used to sail on a windjammer - super cool!
A goal of mine is to set sail on one of those week long cruises and get first hand experience of nautical life. Though, I‘m not sure my motion sickness will allow such fun lol
so-soI may change my rating (down, if anything) after I sit with this a bit. I have some serious reservations about Charlie.
I started this cute little rom com for this month‘s book club selection.
The billy goats must outsmart the fearsome troll who guards the bridge, using their own wit and bravery to make it across the bridge.
McGaha appears to be a bit more clear-eyed at the time of writing this account, but the level to which she ceded financial matters to her husband (even if he is an accountant) sent a chill down my spine. Especially in light of the harrowing details related of her experience with domestic abuse by her first husband. 13h
As a vegan reader the animal passages were rarely endearing. The attempted mental distancing from animals which are supposed to be primarily a source of food, even if they are not killed for meat, the effort to be philosophical about death and illness, the open admission of where McGaha and her husband mis-stepped and the animals paid for it, it meant that there weren't really any idyllic moments in the 13h
