Big Summer: A Novel | Jennifer Weiner
post image
Pickpick

Daphne is a successful influencer beginning to accept herself for who she is. Six years ago, she had an argument with her best friend, Drue, they haven‘t seen each other since. Drue walks back into Daphne‘s life and asks her for one favour - be her maid of honour. Letting Drue back into her life carries risks but is this something she is willing to do.
A glamorous and entertaining story about family, friendship and what is important to us.

@dabbe #TLT
My score was just 😱
I loved all Roald Dahl books and read them all growing up. Pratchett is so well read in the UK probably down to his witty prose and satirical commentary (Brits love it). Wilson is so famous partly to a lot of her books have been made into tv series.

Cupcake12 Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures I loved Roald Dahl as a kid too, ate his books up, it was such a disappointment to learn he was not a good guy. But since he is dead I separate the art from the artist on that one. 4d
dabbe Thank you for filling in the Pratchett/Wilson mystery for this American reader who's never read a book by either. I'll have to change that! And let's face it; this list is just weird. So was the American one. How can you put MATILDA next to ANNA KARENINA? 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 4d

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I've had to do that with a few artists as well. It's harder to do when they're still living. (talking to you, J.K. Rowling.) 4d
TheSpineView YW! 😘😊😃 4d
lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures Hard same! I read a book about his marriage to Patricia Neal and...ugh. What an arse. 4d
lil1inblue @dabbe Mr. Gaiman is also on that list for me. 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue ugggg yeah. That Gaiman article made me sick to my stomach .I have almost all of his books, all signed and I boxed them up and put them in a closet. Will never recommend him to anyone. 4d

Sophie has been in Mistingham for one year. Time to move on…or is it? A surprise book lands up in Sophie‘s hands, the only thing , it has a similar story to her own life. Harry, lives in a crumbling Manor House and prefers his own company. A chance meeting and sparks fly. Brought together to arrange the Christmas Fair and with a quirky set of characters. The writing is warm and descriptive, it makes you want to experience the town for yourself.

Three women just trying to get by. Beth, a business owner, has a new born baby and a happy marriage (or is it?) Ruby, has a beautiful daughter, independent woman but hiding a secret and Lauren, insta star and successful (but for how long?). One event brings these women together but they show that women supporting women can be the strongest thing ever. We need to accept who we are, be happy and find peace. I loved it 4🌟

Mehso-so

In the magical town of Oak Haven, magic is not behaving. Scarlett lives in San Francisco and receives a call from her estranged sister and immediately knows something is seriously wrong. She returns home to help and and reunited with her old friends. Scarlett needs to help her family solve this magical mess but some spells come with great danger.
This book had some promising elements but I just didn‘t connect with the characters. 3🌟

A psychological thriller that I couldn‘t put down! Eve has a good life, good husband and is a high school maths teacher. Last year, the school where she teaches was rocked by a scandal involving a student/teacher affair. That student was Addie. This year Addie is in Eve‘s maths class and her husbands English class. There are so many twisting secrets and a great revenge plot. It was such a quick read with short chapters.

Summer, an ambitious final year student collides with Aidan, the hockey captain, for a final project. Summer can‘t stand Aidens carefree approach to life. Summer has a five year life plan. Bickering turns to banter but will banter turn to feelings? The two MCs are the perfect enemies to lovers. They overcome several milestones. Many small moments make this story unputdownable. I‘ve already ordered the next book in the series- Spiral.

A funny and heartwarming story about a florist called Mara. Her family can‘t understand why Mara has never found love. Her baby sister is getting married so no pressure! Enter Jay, another equally single guy with a reputation - share a kiss with Jay and you will soon meet the love of your life. Mara is curious so gives it a go. One issue - is love closer than she thinks?
A great story exploring family dynamics and the role of love.

The Final Gambit | Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Avery‘s life has changed so much over the past year but the biggest game of all is still to be played. Avery and the Hawthorne brothers are drawn into a dangerous game against an unknown player who could end them all.
This series has everything - action, intrigue, suspense and great characterisation. The bond between Avery and the brothers is undeniable. The love triangle was in the background but the mystery and games remained at the forefront.

I‘m a tea drinker. I never drink coffee but I love the smell of it 😂

slategreyskies I love the smell of it too. When I was a teenager, every time I stayed at a hotel with my friends, I‘d make the complimentary pot of coffee in my room just so I could enjoy the scent of it brewing in the morning, even though I didn‘t drink it. 😂 1mo
jen_the_scribe I can respect that. I‘m Cuban and we‘re very big on coffee, we only have tea when we‘re sick lol. But I‘ve gotten more into tea as I‘ve gotten older especially because I married a tea drinker lol. 1mo
AmyG My husband is like this. Tells everyone he has never had a cup in his life. @jen_the_scribe Ha…I always know when I am sick because I just don‘t want coffee…I do tea, too. (edited) 1mo
AnnCrystal 💝💝💝. 1mo
Hooked_on_books I feel the same way about coffee! And I don‘t get it, since such a major percentage of taste is smell, yet I still hate the taste. 1mo

Avery is still looking for so many answers to her questions, why was she left an entire fortune? Following clues with the Hawthorne brothers they begin to find a deep connection. Grayson and Jameson are also both fighting for Avery but there are threats lurking around every corner.
Full of family intrigue and suspense, with every page read the reader gets closer to solving the puzzle and I can‘t wait to see what happens in book 3.

dabbe One summer vacation when I was a snotty teenager, I was laying on the couch, heavily sighing because I was bored. My mom walked by with a load of laundry and asked what was wrong. “I'm so bored,“ I replied.

She snickered, readjusted the laundry and said, “Have you ever considered the fact that it is YOU who might be BORING? If you can't find a way to make you're life interesting, that's totally YOUR problem.“ #momlifelesson 🩵💙🩵
