Now I have read all her books. This was one dysfunctional family! Best part of the story was it took place in northern NJ where I spent most of my life. I knew all the towns…kind of like a visit home.
#Bookspin and this one #Doublespin read.
@TheAromaofBooks

MaGoose I'll have to check this book out. I lived in northern New Jersey for the first 24 years of my life. I still live in New Jersey, but further south. 2d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2d
AmyG @MaGoose It‘s in Bergen Co. 2d

MemoirsForMe @AmyG @MaGoose If this book is for us “Jersey Girls,” I may have to read it too. Born and raised there, but further south. Exit 9 off the NJ Turnpike 😁 2d
ncsufoxes @AmyG I was born in Bergen County. I lived in Jersey City till I was 4. Then we moved to the western part of the state, near Phillipsburg (on the border of PA, near Lafayette College). I loved Hello, Beautiful so I‘ll need to add this one to my list. 2d
Read4life Ok. This is now on my list. I was born & raised in Passaic Co. Lived there for 26 years. 2d
MaGoose @Read4life I lived in Clifton with my parents until I was 24. When my parents moved to Ocean County, I moved with them. I still live in the house my parents bought 46.5 years ago. 2d
AmyG @MemoirsForMe @ncsufoxes @Read4life Not so much a Jersey book but more of a Betgen County one. @MaGoose Clifton! My sister and BIL‘s business was there. 2d
MaGoose @AmyG Wow. I haven't really gone back there since I moved with my parents to Ocean County 2d

Leftcoastzen I‘m more that way now too! I think the more we read the more we have a sense of what we will like/not like regardless if a book is highly praised or not. I am painfully aware I don‘t have infinite years to read , so , not working for me ? #hailthebail 1w

ncsufoxes NCI was supposed to cut a certain number of positions by the end of this week too. If they didn‘t apparently they were going to cut at random (or force older scientists into retirement, one of the researchers my husband works with is older & currently on medical leave, he wonders if he‘ll be forced out). Although I love the irony of having a Pres that‘s 78 & how many senators & such that are elderly & continue to keep running or have jobs 1w

I chose this book as my favorite because I absolutely loved the audiobook. Not my genre but after not being able to pay attention and bailing on a few audiobooks….this one grabbed me. Leads me to believe maybe I‘m just in a mood for romantsy audiobooks? We shall see.

Scary times 😢 I didn't vote for this either 📚🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸📚.

Books & artist will always be considered a threat. We should gather and do a protest by going outside, finding a safe, legal place to sit, and read from dawn to dusk for a day. If anything, it will drive the suppressors crazy. Writers should come with typewrites or journals and artist with canvases.

Just to be clear, I am not officially suggesting this 😜📚💝.

Read this today. Harriet Tubman comes back to present days and connects with a music producer to tell her story of life and slavery. Sounds weird but it worked….very good book.

Prairiegirl_reading I LOVE BTDQ!! I‘ve been wondering about this. Didn‘t realize it was out already. I‘ll have to grab it. 2mo
Prairiegirl_reading Oh I see it‘s an arc. Soon Angie, settle down. 😂😂 2mo

#Bookspin and #Doublespin completed.

While I thoroughly enjoyed The Soul of an Octopus, I loved the somewhat corny The Wishing Game.

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I've had The Wishing Game on my TBR for a while. 2mo

All my joys this week are my grandson. We are visiting this week in frigid temps and everyone is sick. Ah, daycare! I babysat yesterday to give my grandson a day to recover. We did a LOT of reading (🙌🏻), Jenny slept in her Go Blue! Bed, Jeremy took the lovliest picture of me 🤣….and we just had the laziest, best day. By Tuesday, I will be sick as a dog….and it will have all been worth it. ❤️
