This is one of the funniest books I‘ve read in a while. And I highly recommend the audiobook. I think Richard Ayoade is one of the funniest comedians so I was laughing and delighted pretty much the whole book.

Free ebook alert!
If you have Amazon they are offering a free ebook (of a preselected 10) to celebrate Pride month. I got the a tagged book bc I have been wanting to read it anyway and there are some great other options.
It was on a banner but if you search for Amazon Read with pride it should take you to the list of options!
It‘s good through the end of June

I have been following this so intensely. AND of course it reminds me of a book recommendation. The tagged book is bananas but one of my favorite subplots is that the dolphins are trying to start a union. And I am 100% sure they would support these orcas. (The latest articles have dolphins and other whales joining in orcas - orca-nizing if you will 😂)

I don't have words to express how much I love this book.
This is an earnest, heartfelt, clever, funny book for anyone who has loved a book series obsessively.
This book manages to make you feel like you're a kid finding their very favorite book for the first time and captures all those moments of wonder and enchantment. Though tackling some dark backstories the reader is always in capable hands & this book is bursting with love #netgalley

Beware Spoilers! These are my notes while I was reading Saturday Night Supper Club. It‘s a beautifully written book but I was not really in the right headspace for a book that would rip my heart out multiple times so I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved the general theme that choosing your own path will make you the happiest and the characters are all so well written but I cried - so many times.

tpixie I have to make these Family trees 🌳 sometimes also! 11mo
DogEaredBooks @tpixie there are just so many people and then they crossover or have different timelines. I‘m storing that knowledge outside my head! (edited) 11mo
tpixie @DogEaredBooks I just thought: it would be cool if Books would provide family trees. But to prevent spoilers, they would have a flip down family tree that would add people as you read on. Or family trees throughout the book that would include people as their relationship is revealed. Hmm 🤔 (edited) 11mo

DogEaredBooks @tpixie I do love a family tree in a book. More than a map (but mostly bc I am directionally challenged). I wish they‘d have more relationships on it like ex-friend or childhood enemies etc. (edited) 11mo
tpixie @DogEaredBooks yes!! Great idea 💡 11mo
monalyisha @DogEaredBooks Wow, every single thing you‘ve said in this post & in the comments make me think we might be long-lost soul twins. 😅 Also not a fan of maps because I‘m directionally-challenged. If I flip open a book to find one gracing the end pages, it definitely makes me reconsider whether I *really* want to read it or not. 🙈 9mo

Only Game in Town | Lacie Waldon

While marketed as romance, this book is quintessential small town fiction - everyone has a complicated gossipy backstory and there are multiple POVs. I saw the twists coming really early and there is the barest of romance but if you‘re looking for a nosy quirky (potentially co-dependent) town like those on Gilmore Girls or Heart of Dixie look no further. This is a warm, hopeful sunshine of a book.

This book was amazing and one of the best mysteries I have read in a while. With multiple POVs and a cooking competition turned locked room mystery this book is not the average mystery. It walks the line of cozy mystery and thriller, and I enjoyed every second #netgalley

I ordered a just the goodies box from the Authentic Books bc I‘ve been thinking of subscribing for a while and I am in love with everything they sent me! I got the mystery box but asked for tea and spa if possible and it‘s all high quality, small businesses, and different.
They also have cocktail and coffee options for subscribers and even a just the goodies option! I think I‘m going to cancel #botm and get #authenticbooks. Expensive but worth it

This is a fun and fairly lighthearted look at the different descriptions of the afterlife from mythology, religion, music, tv, etc. Jennings did a great job balancing humor and respect as well as a large variety of cultures.
As someone who finds death culture interesting, I was hooked, but even if you don't this is a great quick read (each section is only a few pages) that has a lot to offer.

I love when you get a book that delivers exactly what was promised. I wanted a good urban fantasy with a little more romance and a bit more magic and this book delivered and then some. I loved both characters and raced through this book. Now I am off to read the series this spun-off from (8 books!) - it does work as a standalone, but spoilers beware.

Both this and the Alice Worth series are in #KindleUnlimited

I don't have the right words to say how much I love this book. It gives Practical Magic & Sarah Addison Allen vibes (my favorite vibes).
The characters, the magic, and the town hit all the right notes to pull me into this book and make me never want to leave. I was enthralled the whole time.
If you are looking for the perfect fall vibes but don't like horror this is a great pick that I don't think is getting enough attention! #netgalley

So it should have bailed since I don‘t like horror generally. But I don‘t like bailing on and ARC. So: the book is well written and the concept of Hell is fascinating but the characters and humor fell very flat to me.
The biggest problem is the characters name is Peyote Trip. Using a religious plant as a punchline to a (bad) joke isn‘t funny and by a white author give me ick.

Megabooks Glad I passed on this at BOTM. The first section didn‘t hit me as very funny and I didn‘t like the Peyote Trip name either. 1y

I wonderful rom com. With enemies to lovers, but they are the hosts of a cooking show and have to fake date their way to PR redemption. I loved both the characters, and all the side characters. Well paced with punny and fun banter, and the added depth of tackling mental health and treatment of women by the media this is a great book and I can't recommend enough.

I wanted to like this, but the more I read this and listened to the conversation surrounding this book from the BIPOC community, the more uncomfortable I feel and I can't support this book. I really wanted to like this book, but TJR's choice to make the main character Latina makes this book problematic. This is a problem that the author has been criticized for before and I am baffled as to why she and her publishers chose to do it again #netgalley

Happy (belated) Pub day! I absolutely adore this book!
It‘s very cozy fantasy vibes and showcases an heartwarming and lovely story that pulls at all the heartstrings. The characters, world building, and plot are all just the right balance of angsty and heartfelt with a hearty dose of hopeful.
There was even letters included for a You‘ve Got Mail vibe (my favorite).

I was lucky enough to get a ARC of this book from the author. Its a spinoff of her Glimmer series, but can be read alone. Harris does a wonderful job in this fun urban fantasy romp. Following newly turned werewolf (and alpha) Lucy while she solves a murder and sorts Other Realm politics. The plot is fast paced and kept me guessing without feeling dark or packing in too much. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. #ARC

Lives up to everything I wanted as a cozy fantasy! This books is warm and heart felt with a low level of intrigue and adventure to keep everything moving along. All of the characters are masterfully composed and fully formed, I felt like they always existed and were just waiting for me to arrive. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! They were original published as a web series and are being complied into books, and I can barely wait!

A wonderful book on the Search for Sasquatch using the Scientific Method. A great intro to research and media literacy (what's a good source, how to check your facts and assumptions) are great tools for everyone nowadays.
The author is personable, curious, and fun while keeping a sense of serious skepticism.
I started listening to the podcast this is pulled from (Wild Thing), and I really like it too!

This book looks at: What if everyone in the world knew exactly when (not how) their life would end? How would humanity handle that? Does that change what the meaning/measure of your life is?

A beautiful, thought provoking, compassionate, heartbreaking book. This is one of those books that grabs your heart and doesn't let go. It also gives concepts that I don't think I will start thinking about for a while.

A fun book themed mystery! I love a good book themed mystery -- and the author went above and beyond by crafting a whole fictional book series, author, movie and tv series, and convention for this book. Adding in the actresses who portray the same role added a new element than the usual bookstore, library, book collectors.

I can't wait for the next book!

If you love learning about music look no further! This book looks at the brain's music preferences by examining different aspects of songs. Sprinkled in with the musical examples, scientific studies, & the authors genuine enthusiasm for the topic is Susan Rogers' stories as a multiplatinum record producer working with artists (like Prince!). I loved this book and I highly recommend to anyone who is even a little interested.

A lovely cozy mystery with the fun twist that the main sleuth is a cryptozoologist. I found this book delightful and I loved the interwoven facts about different cryptids and the Great Lakes!
There were a few sections that could have benefited from a bit more editing but overall well written with a great cast of characters.
I can't wait to read more in this series, it looks like a Sasquatch book was alluded to next? Heck yeah #netgalley

Is there such a thing as a cozy thriller? I think this book might make for the argument.

I devoured this book and I can't wait for more in this series.

I was pleasantly surprised at every turn with this book. It's fun mix of magical realism, thriller, mystery with a dash of romance (with bonus points for LGBTQ rep).

A cute rom-com! A MMC who is a romcom screenwriter gives a nice meta thread as he narrates tropes and scenes. I loved the female main character & fell in love with the quirky town of Canoodle, CA, but the miscommunication trope at the end left a bad taste in my mouth and a real dislike of pretty much the whole cast and a personal ick is friendzone plotlines.
Also note: there is a Alzheimer's plotline that gets intense if that is a no-go for you.

I loved this book! If you have any interest in cryptids read this book! The author strikes the right tone of playful but not mocking, passionate but not obsessive. The whole book (and the museums mentioned) reminded me of the Mystery Shack from Gravity Falls. And now I have books full of road-trip destinations. #netgalley #arc (but I already pre-ordered it)

OK so - this book is adorable. And hits all the romantic comedy checkboxes (sassy heroine, banter, plot other than love, HEA). It was heartwarming with moments that made me tear up, and moments I laughed so hard I had to pause (if for no other reason please read to the cow encounter - if you still don't like it THEN bail, I was dying).

A solid fantasy book - sassy main character, found family, action filled. I do wish there was more of the bounty hunting before the kick-off (but maybe a novella in the future). There were some character inconsistencies, but generally a good fantasy pick in a unique new world.

I adore this book! As with all of her books, there is a fictional town that I wanted to get lost in, a tone that is warm but not too sweet, a touch of serious substance and a sprinkle of magic.

Told through diary entries, emails, texts, articles, and memos, this book tells a story that is ripped from the headlines about Anna Sorokin (Inventing Anna & My Friend Anna fame) but publishing and fashion industries. Who doesn't love reading about a con artist - and in fiction there is the extra perk that you can have all the answers and twists that the real life story isn't as quick to provide.
I couldn't put this down, and the ending was !!
