The Dating Plan | Sara Desai
post image
Pickpick

The Dating Plan is the definition of contemporary rom-com. It's a light, fun read with some steamy bits. The main characters, Daisy and Liam are likeable, and while the storyline is a bit formulaic, there are a few surprises that make it feel fresh. I definitely recommend it for the hopeless romantics out there.

Nicely paced with a ton of fun red herrings. I liked The Guest List a bit more than this one because it was a quicker read, but this is still a pick for me!

#UnpopularOpinion Overall, I liked this book, but it was much too slow, and I wasn't a fan of the alternating timelines. I found myself wanting to skip the parts set in the 1700s, and the first 100 pages could have been condensed to maintain the pace of the rest of the book.

I tore through this book. Part sci-fi, part romance, part dystopian adventure, The Space Between Worlds is such an engaging genre-bending read.

Houlahan should design rollercoasters because that is exactly what reading Norco ‘80 felt like in all the best ways. The pacing was at times a slow build and at others, a fast-paced dive and barrel roll through the events of a bank robbery gone wrong. I wouldn‘t recommend the audiobook as there are too many names and details to remember, but this little piece of history is truly fascinating. I will never look at Hamner and Fourth St. the same.

My latest impulse buy! I live just south of Norco, and I used to work for a bank in Norco! Needless to say, I cannot wait to dive into this.

Bringing Down the Duke | Evie Dunmore

Pickpick

I'm not usually a huge fan of Romance as a genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed Bringing Down the Duke. It is a quick, light read and very much like an overtly sexual Pride and Prejudice.

Common shares what life has taught him about love in every sense of the word. He writes from a place of humility and openness. While I understand that this is a memoir, it felt too introspective, as if each chapter was a journal entry. While others may connect more with this format, it was a bit too circular for me. I think this would be better as an audiobook, and while it fell flat for me, we can all benefit from the overall message.

Recursion | Blake Crouch

I did not meet my reading goal for 2019, like not even close. In part, I blame the fact that I started playing the piano again, but I also just fell into a reading slump. Recursion has officially lifted me out of that slump for 2020. I‘m about 30 pages in, and I can‘t put it down!

While not as good as Last Time I Lied or Final Girls, it still kept me up until 3am. This page-turner is definitely worth a read if you enjoyed Sager‘s first two thrillers.

Help, Littens! I am a little under half-way through this book, and I am struggling to maintain interest. I have heard such wonderful things about this book, but, for the life of me, I‘m not sure I can finish this book. Should I stick with it?

CuriousG I just started reading this...hoping it keeps my interest as I too have heard so many good things about it. I do know that in her first novel I definitely felt there was a lull, but it was worth sticking with it. Maybe the same for this one? 5y
