Loving these!!!!

“Because I don‘t care what anyone says or how often or winningly they say it: no one will ever, ever be able to persuade me that life is some awesome, rewarding treat. Because, here‘s the truth: life is catastrophe. The basic fact of existence—of walking around trying to feed ourselves and find friends and whatever else we do—is catastrophe.”

I got this book because it was supposed to be a dark romance with beauty and beast vibes. They must have meant dark as in gothic because it was very pg. BUT I absolutely loved it. Steve West is one of my favorite narrators. It was full of beautiful words, stories, and I was caught up in the tale.

A Bad Day for Sunshine | Darynda Jones

Is there any possible way this isn‘t written by Janet Evanovich?? It reads exactly like a Stephanie Plum novel… I mean, I‘m here for it. It‘s my favorite kinda fluff novel when I‘m in a slump. But I think it‘s a pen name. 🤷‍♀️

This book was everything I needed it to be. I spent hours of my youth absorbing Jacques on PBS with Julie, with his daughter Claudine… I absolutely adored every moment.

Holy Shit. I should have read a few reviews first, but I went into it blind having loved The Convenience Store book… 🤣🤦‍♀️ what did I just read??? As everyone else has said- ALL THE TRIGGERS. What a bizarre book. I guess it‘s a pick, but I wouldn‘t read it again.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I‘ve been meaning to read if for years. I saw the movie and remember enjoying it. I‘m sure the book is better. It‘s kind of one of those stories where you don‘t like any of the characters but you still loved the book.

I really can‘t believe this book isn‘t read and talked about by more people. It was very good. I‘ve had the actual book on my shelf for years and finally got around to it. I love finding hidden treasures like this. 🐉 dragons, action, steam... it‘s all there.

All the stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are so excited that it‘s a series of 4 books, hopefully all read by Tennant. I‘m going to request my library gets the rest of the series ASAP! Both my boys, 12 and 10, loved it and I loved it just as much.

Do you wanna read about insta love with a wealthy veterinarian and a 26 year old virgin? 🙄🙄

Megabooks What‘s a wealthy veterinarian?? Asking because I am one and the only wealthy ones I know are generationally wealthy ones. It doesn‘t pay well for the expense of education! 3y

I‘ve been so heartbroken during this book. Fanny is so absolutely overlooked, taken advantage of, and taken for granted thru the whole book. Mrs. Norris seems to have wanted her there simply to have someone to lord over for her entire life. Better to have left her happy at home and poor. They could have been such a joy to her, she should have been a daughter and sister to them. I am enjoying the book, it just fires me up!
