I almost made it out of Barnes & Noble with one book but then i saw this on my way to the cafe! Ive been lucky to have spent a lot of the 90‘s and early 2000‘s going to shows at Toad‘s. Some of the most epic shows and experiences! I cant wait to read the stories and say “I remember that”!

Amiable Toad‘s!!! 3w

This one is definitely a romance and not a cozy mystery like i initially thought. I really enjoyed the story though and it was a perfect light read for fall. I can‘t wait to start the next one since its about Hazel and Noah!

I don‘t know much about classical music but what i do know is that Jon Batiste is one of my favorite artists. If you are someone that likes to listen to music while you read, i highly recommend Beethoven Blues!

TieDyeDude I listened to the first few songs, and they are just delightful. Batiste does the best mash-up I never knew I needed! I can't wait to listen to the full album. 4w
bookish_wookish Ive had it on repeat! Hes taken the most overplayed song and given them a twist! Im excited that this is only part 1 and there‘s more to come! @TieDyeDude 4w

This book almost feels like you are going in and out of consciousness. It will make total sense then no sense at all. Chaos and genius. In all that chaos there is actually a story. A good story. I cant explain it. This is very much in the vein of Fight Club. A fever dream of a story for sure.

So its been a few years since i hosted the Little Christmas Swap and i was thinking of doing it again this year. Im just trying to see how many people would be interested. Its also been a few years since i hosted the Lonely Hearts Club swap for Valentines Day so im thinking of bringing that one back too. Both were 1 book and some treats. The Little Christmas opening day would be January 6th.

Would anyone be interested in one or both swaps?

I wasnt lying when i said a quick read! About 20 mins because i read slow! The illustrations are beautiful and really give life to the story. At the end Susanna gives an explanation on how the story came to be and it was very interesting. I definitely recommend giving this one a read.

All you need to know about this book is that every single one of these reviews is a lie. Theres so much wrong with this book. I almost bailed a few times but i stuck with it and i really shouldn‘t have. What i think it‘s about is family dysfunction turns into a “haunting”. But im not sure because it was all over the place but repetitive at the same time. Also I have no clue what the ending even meant, which irks me.

KAO How aggravating! I feel for you! 2mo
CSeydel Ugh, that‘s too bad. I read Malerman‘s Bird Box last year and have not been tempted to read any others by him. 2mo

Phew what a wild ride this book was! Its a super slow build but in that time you‘re getting to know each character in the friend group. Really good character development. Its a pretty complex story with a lot of details and layers but everything plays out so well. The story has a solid ending with no questions left unanswered and it‘s super twisty!
