Started a month late, so finished a month late.... but FINALLY I‘m done with my #popsugarsummer challenge!
I found some of the prompts quite hard to complete, but also read some fantastic books....
A really fun challenge overall.... 💕

Nute Way to go!🙌🏽 4y
BarbaraBB Well played! 4y

#SeptWrapup
12 books including 2 re-reads for bookclubs (Queenie and My Sister the Serial Killer)

Loved Monogamy, a Month in the Country & Girl, Woman, Other .....💕
A rare DNF for Broken Girls, some summer fluff for #popsugarsummer and 3 NetGalley reads, True Story easily being the best of the three....

#bookreport & #weekly forecast in one @Cinfhen

-I so rarely DNF but this week has been stressful and exhausting (retail sucks right now!) and I just wasn‘t feeling it, so I feel good about my choice! (Supported by Cindy! 😉)
- finished a fluffy EH for a #popsugarsummer choice and a bookclub re-read of Queenie... both just what I needed...
- 2 reads just started, both really great so far....
- Up next, a romance for #popsugar2020

LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to The Orchard. 👍🏻 4y

Summer of '69 | Elin Hilderbrand
post image
Pickpick

A fun read set on Nantucket & Martha‘s Vineyard during the eventful summer of 69.
I enjoyed this story of a family and it‘s 3 generations of strong New England women, set against the backdrop of historic events. As everything changes around them, these women are finding their place in the world. Secrets are shared, friendships are made, heartbreaks endured and summer romances blossom. The chapter titles are fun too -song titles from the era! 🎶💕

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast @Cinfhen

Finished 3 this week... I loved Girl, Woman, Other 💕Shit, actually was fun but a bit repetitive, and My Sister the Serial Killer was a quick re-read on audio for a Zoom bookclub yesterday .... 📚

Currently reading The Broken Girls, though I‘m finding it a bit #moremehthanyeah 👻

Next up my last two for #popsugarsummer and a re-read of Queenie on audio for a bookclub. 🎧💕

TrishB A good week 👍🏻 4y
LeahBergen A Month in the Country! 😍😍 4y

Cinfhen Fabulous week 🙌🏻I knew you‘d love Girl and I hope you enjoy the EH novel... I really liked it a lot 4y
KarenUK Not bad for a slow reader like me! @TrishB @BarbaraBB (edited) 4y
KarenUK Did you love it? @LeahBergen I saw Author Claire Fuller rave about it on Instagram.... 💕 4y
KarenUK @cinfhen Looking forward to the EH.... ( I may even abandon The Broken girls.... it‘s not pulling me in..... ☹️) 4y
Cinfhen I thought it was terrible @KarenUK it keeps taking weirder and weirder turns 4y
KarenUK @Cinfhen OK you convinced me! (I‘m bailing but still counting it as my ‘round the campfire‘ read for #popsugarsummer though! 😂😉) 4y
Cinfhen Absolutely!!!! It‘s not worth finishing #WellPlayed 😘 4y

#weeklyforecast @Cinfhen
-loving Girl, Woman, Other
-just started The Broken Girls
- halfway on the new Lindy West, on the fence about it 🤷‍♀️

- I‘m going to re-read Queenie for a bookclub, and I STILL have a couple of books to complete for #popsugarsummer (I guess it‘s always summer in South FL!)

Cinfhen Can‘t wait to hear your thoughts on this one 👉 4y

#popsugarsummer #bodyofwater

A BravoTV lovers dream..... Imagine if Vanderpump Rules, Below Deck and The Real Housewives had a baby, that turned bizarrely murderous..... Honestly this was bat-sh*t-ridiculous in the most brain-candy and trashily fun way...

Thank you lovely Cindy for putting this silliness on my radar. Just what I needed today! 😘

Cinfhen This is the BEST ( and MOST accurate) review I‘ve seen for this book!!! I‘m glad you enjoyed the wild ride xx 4y
