Omg I can‘t believe it took me so long to get to this one. I loved everything about it: the vibe, the art, the story. I could happily live in that world.

JenReadsAlot I read this every October! Love it 1d
Butterfinger I love anything by Rainbow Rowell, but this one is so special. 1d
BethM @Butterfinger I should read more of her. 1d

Read this one on lunch yesterday as my foray into graphic novels continues. I don‘t typically read WW2 bc they tend to be too sad for me. This is a GN of an actual novel and was just the right way for me to consume an important story. I didn‘t know anything about Dita and I‘m glad I read it.

-not the tagged book- I love these holiday novellas. They‘re always well done and feel like a full story. It‘s generally a cute take on the holiday while actually being a salient plot point later. Really loving this series!

-incorrect book tagged- this was really good. The mystery was engaging and motive was interesting. The last chapter moved the plot of the entire series along in a very engaging manner.

While one and two were entertaining, this one actually made me feel during the battles. You finally got to see some characters shine. However, the novel ends and the story is far from over. There‘s so much we don‘t know, yet Google says there will be no more books. Genuinely confused.

BethM @Deblovestoread do they help with the hubby‘s tv? @Catsandbooks how have they helped with migraines? 2w
Deblovestoread Yes, the really help mute the tv which helps my concentration. It‘s made so I don‘t have to leave the family room during those times. 2w
Read4life I agree with @julesG & @Deblovestoread They‘re great for louder events but just as good for muting out regular sounds when you want some quiet. When I start getting sensitivity to sound either pre or post migraine, these really help mute sounds and allow me to function. 2w
Catsandbooks I'm sensitive to sound and whenever I would go to a loud event, even a movie, I would get a migraine. But now with my loops I don't! 2w

This was so good! I‘ve seen reviews saying the art is aimed younger than the story but I loved it. I like vibrant art that‘s immersive. A lot of what I saw paging through others was dark and gloomy. Not here. The story hooks you too. Glad I grabbed 2 and 3 from the library right away.

I‘m not sure how I feel about this one. I was really intrigued, but it‘s slow going with not much about the shop halfway through. I also struggle with the DV subplot. Thoughts? Worth sticking out? I only see good reviews on here.

xicanti I liked it, but I think if you‘re not hooked by halfway in, you‘re safe to bail. 1mo
Aims42 Totally agree with @xicanti - I finished it but afterwards really felt like I could‘ve bailed and been just as happy lol My friend read it and loved it, so might be a “mood read” 😊 1mo

There are no books about adhd parents, parenting neurodivergent kids. Seeing some pretty strong indicators Wes got my brain 😂 We‘re both struggling this summer with regulation🙃 Also just picked up Good Inside.

MaureenMc Have you checked out the Tilt Parenting podcast? I think there‘s at least one episode discussing parenting with neurodivergence, & it‘ll point you to additional resources. (Episode 349!) (edited) 1mo
