My first exposure to Bill Bryson. I‘m reading this in the van each day while waiting for my oldest to be dismissed from school

No photo with this one. I sent the book with a friend, because I knew she would love it. Brene Brown has important and timely research in this book. I wish I could read it again for the first time. So lovely

“It‘s helpful to think of lying as a defiance of the truth and bullshitting as a wholesale dismissal of the truth.” I ❤️ this book so much!

How do you keep track of the series you are reading? I keep googling for upcoming books, but I feel like there has to be a better way. I'm thinking about announced and unannounced publishing dates. Please don't say Bullet Journals.

There are times when I choose not to read a book, because it hits too close to home. This book is already pushing me out of that comfort zone. I'm on page 4.

Even though he is asleep, after reading this book I don't know when I will sleep again. It gave me so much to think about and a great ending. I'm so glad it's number one in a series.

bio_chem06 The reviews for this book look great. I just got it from the library and can't wait to read it! I didn't know it was the start of a series. 7y
Cberbs I really enjoyed it. It‘s on my list of series to continue reading. 7y

I'm liking this a lot so far. I hope the second half holds up. Also, I'm listening to Lip Sync Battle with Anne Hathaway and Emily Blount. What else is there?

I wanted to finish this book this morning, so I read as my children took out every toy in the house and had some sort of battle around me. I enjoyed the book and am glad I read it, but I found it to be a nice and interesting book. I didn't think it was twisty or a page turner.

The Love Interest | Cale Dietrich

I have barely started this one. I'm apprehensive. It seems like some of the text is so obvious. It's a #botm pick from a few months ago. I'm hoping I'll like it better once I get into the story a bit more.

I read the jacket cover and heard several reviews. I feel like this is a good book, but it seems quite far from heartbreaking and suspenseful so far. Hopefully I'll get done with work a little early tonight and sneak in a few more minutes of reading.

What She Knew: A Novel | Gilly Macmillan

I finally got this book from the library after a 3 month wait. Why can't I have 4 hours to sit and read it now? Doesn't my life know it is supposed to be on pause?

As a mom of four boys, I find myself asking this question both silently and aloud quite often. ####### "I took tap, ballet, and jazz for almost 12 years, and what I lacked in natural ability, I made up for in enthusiasm. I rationalized that I danced in the wings at our finales because of my height. I assumed that if I was sweating, I was succeeding."

I loved every page of this book. I have done yoga on and off for years. I did a 30 day program in January, and then I moved on. This book has drawn me back to the mat and given me interest I didn't have before. So good.

Such a wonderful book. I live in ND, and it has a reputation for cold. This book had parts that made our winters sound balmy and lovely.

Is 9 books too many for a 3.5 day trip?

sprainedbrain Personally, I don't think the words 'too many' ever go together with the word 'books.' 😃 8y

Lost Symbol | Dan Brown
Mehso-so

My least favorite of the first three books. Still giving it a 3/5

JoeStalksBeck I think Angels and Demons was my favorite but I enjoyed them all 8y
Cberbs I agree about Angels and Demons. I'm super late to the Dan Brown scene, so I had some idea what to expect with these books but hadn't watched the movie or read any of them prior to this. I felt like #3 took much longer to get through than the others. I'll still keep on in the series though. Plus 3/5 is not that bad. Just not great. 8y

I'm supposed to read this for book club, but I'm in a reading slump. I'm trying to decide if I should push through and finish before book club or if I should wait and read it when I know I will love it. #readingproblems #hatetheslump #book24in2017

Love Warrior: A Memoir | Glennon Doyle Melton

I bought this book when it was released but didn't read it right away. I read it over Christmas break and found it very encouraging and honest. It's also sad and funny and eye opening. It's definitely worth reading and discussing with friends.
