I‘ve read this author before and actually think I liked the characters better in this than the previous one. They were fun and unique. Nice, easy read to help me get back into the groove.

A sweet rom-com and a coffee meet cute. Fun banter, solid MC chemistry & a story that made me smile. It could have had some 🌶️ but still very much a pick.

I've enjoyed all of the books I read this week, but if I have to choose just one, Help Wanted it is! If I'd finished Moon of the Turning Leaves a day earlier, that would have been an easy pick for this week. We'll see if anything I read this week tops that title!

An a-okay slow-paced, won‘t get your heart racing romance.

My mom and my brother both worked at a major discount retailer in a rust belt city for several years, and Waldman captures well the feeling of being trapped---by corporate indifference, by an economically bifurcated community, by the accident of birth and privilege---that those years highlighted for our family (and that led me to boycott the retailer for 25+ years and counting). This is a well written but depressing novel from the #ToB25 longlist.

My March #doublespin was a hit! I flew through this one. Great characters— it just needed some spice 🌶️ 😜!

I've been blessed to receive many wonderful books recently, including a copy of Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman, courtesy of Bibliolifestyle & W.W.Norton. Among numerous accolades, it was one of Barack Obama's recommended books last summer. I'm anxious to read this contemporary & timely story, and, in fact, I am recommending it to my in-person book club. The paperback edition was published 𝘍𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝟻, 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟻.

“This charming tale revolves around a stolen latte, setting the stage for a meet-cute of epic proportions.”
