pick10 OUT OF 10. !!!!!!!!! Incredible. Beautiful writing. My review is weak--it's just I stayed up until 3 AM to finish it and then just had to tell somebody. Breaking the book buying ban because I've GOT to have my own copy. Mwuah chef's kiss.
Just wanted to hop on and promote The Book Loft! They're offering free shipping today!
Happy Fall! @LiteraryinLawrence I have mailed you Broken Girls and @MeganAnn I have mailed you the Devotion of Suspect X , they should arrive Tuesday
pickWooooo a ghost story ? Reminds me of the Cersi Lannister quote "Everywhere in the world they hurt little girls," ?. Read for LMPBC, I enjoyed the alternate timelines and found myself eagerly turning the page.
pickAdorable and cozy. This book was just what I've been wanting to read lately; nothing sad/heavy. Very little action ( which I find exhausting). I hope the author continues writing books in this universe and I hope the descriptions of food and drink continues! ☕🥐
pickEven though I liked The Love Hypothesis better I did enjoy this. My biggest complaint is that all her MCs are "tiny," and their love interests are all "huge/bulky." Fat girls/all body types deserve representation too ?♀️, they're definitely out there getting laid even though books/movies/tv/social media implies otherwise
2+ months late ...my bookmarks finALly went out to their recipients yesterday! @cwarnier @Tattooedteacher @Meshell1313 @TheBookDream
Sincere apology for the late post! The bookmarks you sent arrived safely and we love them! (Not pictured, the pirate bookmark my husband commandeered it). And I also want to apologize for not sending yours out yet, we've all been sick in our house but I promise it's my goal this week ! @TheBookDream @Tattooedteacher @cwarnier @Meshell1313
#LMPBC members, I received these books from @phantomx today, I'll be starting with the tagged book, marking them up and getting them back to you 🥰. I also received my own book back and enjoyed reading all of your comments! @MeganAnn @MaleficentBookDragon
Thank you for the bookmarks and the note @Meshell1313 very thoughtful! I hope to have mine out soon, busy summer ☀️⛱ #bookmarkswap @cwarnier
pickLoved it! And now I know I love novellas--which can be read in one or two sittings. I also love these stories because they're not heavy, they have happy endings, and are just what I need during these crappy troubling times. It checks all my boxes , unauthorized rescue mission ✔ guarded/ highly relatable MC afraid to let people know them ✔ close friends and a satisfying career ✔ oh and let's not forget making out inside a space station 🙈✔
Just thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to support a local bookstore instead of sending the world's biggest d bag to space 😁
pickOh my word! I LOVED this book. It was entertaining, romantic, fast paced and heart breaking. I thought the fact that it alters between two timelines worked so well for Evelyn's story--I seriously feel like she was a real person. Perfect book to read for Pride Month 🏳️🌈 and I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. @shellleigh33 I remember you saying once this was one of your favs, are her others this good?!
Y'all im in a coffee shop by MYSELF, it's sunny, glorious and heaven, pure heaven . I can't get photos this good at home no matter now hard I try so it must be the magic of this place 🤤
pickRecently read these two Ali Hazelwood novellas, they were perfectly cute and I loved them ! Both of the male antagonists are "grumpy sunshines," the women each are making their way in STEM careers and have actual modern friendships with each other , just overall satisfying stories! Thank you @britt_brooke for telling me about them!
Finished building my Mother's Day orchid while listening to Crazy Rich Asians 🌸🌸🌸
A random assortment of options from my dusty TBR piles...let me know if any seem interesting, you've already read them or any just seem 🤭 I'm always happy to go back to the drawing board. #LMPBC #GroupK @LiteraryinLawrence @shellleigh33 @Mccall0113
so-soDrawn to this book by its title, I just didn't love it as much as I wanted to. They just didn't talk enough about...books 🤷♀️. It was mainly about a complicated sister relationship and a Stars Hollowy town. And the romance part was just C+ 😬
I would go for iced-coffee/rainy day personally.
pickI loved it! I first heard this book recommended on a podcast I listen to and then I saw it reviewed quite a bit on here--it is worth the hype in my opinion. Science + a steamy love connection, so satisfying!
My version of accessorizing 😆. I still have my copy which I was given in 1998! I always thought the Giving Tree was anti-transcendental, the boy takes and takes and takes after all until the tree is nothing but a stump. Anyway @LiteraryinLawrence I mailed out the next #LMPBC book via media mail today 💌📮
"This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready to break my heart" Mary Oliver ?. That's what they look like to before they bloom, angry little green fists . Picked these up from Literati yesterday
Do most people know what the word "petrichor" means? I seriously don't think I've ran across this word in my entire existence! I looked it up and realized exactly what it is and didn't know there was a word for it! ☔??. Thoroughly enjoying this book for my work filled holiday weekend ?
Wendy is a mother to the Lost Boys, here she is singing them "You're mother and mine," #Iconic #MayMoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Does anyone have any recommendations for a buddy read? Hoping for a series such as sci fi, adventure , just not romance . Thank you 😊
so-soFinally Finished. Just like Harry's Quest. My husband and I decided to reread all 7 books together in 2020. We had barely made it into the Prisoner of Azkaban and the read along was put on hold. I LOVED these books as a kid and as an adult I'll always love Harry Potter and wish that Hogwarts was a real place.
Still trying to finish this forsaken book---I JUST realized Ariana Dumbledore was most definitely an Obscurus and how in the world does she plan on explaining that in the newest movie is beyond me 😳. Using the Ravenclaw duo Rowena and her #ghost daughter Helena, the Gray Lady for #Maymoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
From the kitchen of Joan Didion how awesome! Can't wait to try it! Thank you Thank you @TheBookHippie for the recipe and the fantastic book 🥰. Apologies again for the late post ! #RecipeSwap @BennettBookworm
You're Making This Personal, and it Isn't." Not Personal? That is My Work, My Sweat and My Time Away From My Kids-- If That's Not Personal I Don't Know What Is!" Erin Brockovich played by Julia Roberts in one of my favorite underdog movies. So many great quotes from this movie-- it's what I wanna shout at my bosses every time we have a mandatory monthly meeting ?. #Single #MayMoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
"Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are "--Frigga/Renee Russo
#MayMoms #Moviemoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
"Let's all go to bed and pray we don't wake up," --Moira Rose portrayed by Catherine O'Hara on Schitt's Creek One of my favorite TV moms of late. Every episode she's dressed like she's going to the Met Gala. She has the best vocabulary/phrases/outfits and comes out a better person/mom after the family loses their money/prized possessions . "David what does burning smell like?" ? #Maymoms #TVmoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Currently re-reading the Deathly Hallows and then our read along will be finished! Lily's sacrifice was an easy choice for her, she did it without hesitation. #Courageous #MayMoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I only have about a million bookmarks 😄🙈
Greetings! I received the book you sent @shellleigh33 for #LMPBC and I received my #RecipeSwap package from @TheBookHippie which has been hidden from my impatient self 🙃. @BennettBookworm
Olivia Coleman is everything! She portrayed Phoebe Waller Bridge's stepmom/Godmother in the series Fleabag. Funny and cringeworthy, the kind of stepmom that makes you grind your teeth 😬 😬😬
#Maymoms #Stepmom @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
We saw Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness today. I never related to a villain more, I felt her pain. Her situation always reminded me of the Dumbledore quote "of course it's happening in your head, why should that mean that it is not real?" ?
#Maymoms #memorable @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Happy Revenge of the Fifth Day ! 😆. My husband 😍, sent out my #RecipeSwap package and also my #LMPBC books. I have tracking numbers if needed @BennettBookworm @TheBookHippie @MeganAnn @LiteraryinLawrence @suvata
I honestly haven't read the Moon Knight Comics, but we've been watching the show and I can't say that I love it. The mom in it though yikes! I don't want to spoil and explain further but definitely #Unhealthy #Maymoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
It was a great day and we did it our way! #Loving #MayMoms @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Happy Star Wars Day! And also today's the day 💐🔔👰💍💒🤵
Obviously the Pagent Queen obsessed mom in this one , who I thought was portrayed really well by Jennifer Aniston in the adaptation #MayMoms #Judgemental @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I still think about this book. Both the daughter and the mom were evil, it was just effed all the way around.
#MayMoms #evil @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Today is not my day, I've been sicker than I have in over 2 years, had to cancel my dentist appointment, missed out on tickets for Star Wars concert next week, oh and I passed it on to my child 😫. Just wanted to update and say my #LMPBC books will be going out late im sorry @LiteraryinLawrence @MeganAnn
1. Cozy Sci Fi 👽
2. I love learning about new books and all the pics of pets and shelfies and book hauls and snacks
3. Who knows-- endless possibilities.
@Eggs #WonderousWednesday
pickFinished for #LMPBC. ⚽️⚽️⚽️. I'm a fan of Backman and soccer apparently. I really like the bits that explained what kind of person you are based on what team you root for. The US is pretty much the only country that calls it soccer right? @LiteraryinLawrence @shellleigh33 @BennettBookworm
It's snowing and cold here in the Midwest! ☕📚🌨 Hope you all have good books, warm blankets and yummy Easter leftovers wherever you are 😋
pickOh the palpable excitement I experienced as I impatiently waited for each of these books to come out! Reading them again as an adult, I don't have that same "feeling;" in fact I find more to criticize, such as, how many times and different ways can she tell us that Poor Slughorn was portly?! ?. "His belly proceeded him" "he lingered at the Great Hall during meal times" we get it the man was FAT
