kbibliophilific @MyNamesParadise & @5feet.of.fury - I like it so far! Glad to report I don‘t think I have read this one! I hate to buy a book twice and start reading to realize that I already read it 😂😂😂 I read another book by this author so I already know I like her (edited) 2mo

Envy | Sandra Brown

What a beautiful (gloomy) reading day!

Happy Wednesday and happy reading! ☺️

tokorowilliamwallace Currently going through this as well, though it's not a regular genre for me to read. So far, I like parts of it (such as the author's excerpts of his story), but other parts have been triggering, such as the author's behavior of 'testing' our female protagonist... 5mo

kbibliophilific @tokorowilliamwallace I really like it so far but I‘m only 50 pages in so far…. 5mo

tokorowilliamwallace @kbibliophilific I'm 200-something in. I hope it doesn't affect you like it did me. I almost DNF'd it. It's been happening a lot with recent books, 4 I've started since November or December. I guess my sensibilities are more sensitive now. 🤷 5mo

kbibliophilific @tokorowilliamwallace nope it won‘t affect my thoughts … always keep open mind with books - so many I‘ve seen polar opposite reviews and I ended up feeling one way or the other. I love Sandra Brown though so I‘m pretty sure I‘ll like it (edited) 5mo

The Chick and the Dead: Life and Death Behind Mortuary Doors | Carla Valentine

**Feedback** this book was a nice light read, but set in the UK so process, procedure & titles are very different than in US. The stories/experience was nice to read, but not very comparable to that of a US death care worker.

Early morning read at work during downtime 🤷🏻‍♀️

kbibliophilific Ok…..the prologue had me checked out lol but the story has even decent so far but I was just pages in before I fell asleep. Will see how I feel later on. Appreciate all feedback!! 😘 14mo

kbibliophilific I couldn‘t stay focused on the story. I think it could potentially get better but it wasn‘t grabbing me like I need to be grabbed, so I might (or might not) come back to this in the future. 14mo
