Love Ina and loved her memoir ♥️
The Strick family was sometimes annoying and frustrating, but there were enough sweet and loving moments to ultimately make me glad to spend time with them

Omg I might have a new favorite romance author, I loved this so much. It made me FEEL! And I loved all the characters. Everyone was so ideally mature. AND there was an epilogue 🙌🏽
Maybe I want in the right mood for this one. It was fine. I liked both the hero and the heroine. The sex scenes weren‘t great (spanking during your first night together? I‘m judgey).
I liked the heroine more than I did the hero. Found the stuff he said during sex pretty cringey; but maybe it was just the was the reader read it.
Enjoyed this one so much for its kind, mature, fun characters, and cozy vibes. I wanted an epilogue in the worst way.
I liked the first half better than the second. What stuck with me: I‘m not who I think I am; I‘m not who you think I am; I‘m who I think you think I am. So…learn to filter the views/opinions of others
This is about 12 year old Willow Chance: genius, adoptee, orphan. A weird and wonderful kid dealing with grief.
A story of a woman‘s acting and dating past, enfolded in the story of her current family life during the togetherness of the early COVID months
Didn‘t hit me as hard as it did the first time, but I still love it.
And I like the book ending more that the movie ending
It‘s not particularly Christmas-y, and I didn‘t really start to enjoy it until close to the end. I just never fell in love with the main character
A decades-spanning story of the friendship between two girls, and their circle of family and friends. I didn‘t love it, but I‘m glad I read it.
Some nice descriptions of food, clothing, and Parisienne life, but it felt very rushed and predictable at the end, and I ultimately didn‘t care very much about the characters.
Pretty dry for a book about how our thoughts affect our physical body. I guess I was expecting something more instructive and inspirational
At first I found it tiring jumping back and forth between two storylines, but as they progressed and I got more invested in both, it wasn‘t such a bother.
I don‘t know if I like her more or less after hearing her story. I do wish she included a lot more about her courtship and life with her current husband. One measly paragraph wasn‘t enough for me
I just wanted to give Britney a big hug after her breakup with JT, and at several other points in her story
Was skeptical when a co-worker recommended a book about an octopus 🐙 it‘s not just about an octopus but he‘s pretty great
There were some interesting bits (struggling to come up with an example) but I was mostly bored
Instant love for this one. Immediately started the Apple TV series, and while there are several changes, big and small, I‘m loving the show as well
So much fun (after the horrors of the first chapter).
Didn‘t think I could get into human/alien sex but it‘s fantastic 💙
Overly dramatic and immature, but I guess that‘s developmentally appropriate at their age. Still love these boys
Liked this one more than I expected to. The author presents her mother, Alice Waters, as someone who‘s focused, particular, and a little eccentric. Might be time for a visit to Chez Panisse
Another cookbook to add to my wishlist. So many delicious looking recipes. I‘ve got the ingredients for the clam dip already 😋
A pretty perfect YA novel featuring my favorite type of YA characters: good, smart kids. They reminded me of some of the characters in the show Never Have I Ever. I loved it!
Time to return this one to the library, but it‘s going on my to-buy list.. I may be on the West Coast, but everything in this Maine-based cookbook looks delicious and beautiful
Met my goal of finally reading a mystery. This was fine, but I guess they‘re just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
Re-reading after watching the movie. The book is cooler in tone, and a lot more graphic. Movie is warmer, with a lot of details changed.
Hearing Edward‘s thoughts as he fell in love with Bella made me fall in love with Bella
Not as interesting as I anticipated it would be, but I liked how she described feeling like a liquid/part of humanity as whole after her stroke, and then getting more solid/individual the further she progressed in her recovery
I‘m so disappointed in this one. The time travel was the least interesting part, and I didn‘t get into it until more than 2/3rds in.
Liked but didn‘t love.
I didn‘t like the reason for their initial breakup, but enjoyed them getting to be friends and then lovers again.
