• Whale Fall - I‘m about 1/3 into the book in a little over an hour of reading and am liking it so far
• Daughter of Dr. Moreau - book club read; really don‘t like speculative fiction so this might be a slog
• Girl, Women, Other - another book club read; maybe the audiobook I requested becomes available?
• The Secret Keeper - another long book and book club read

A really good week of reading. Got three books completed (middle row). Working on the ones on the top row (almost done My Brilliant Friend), but think I may pause on Atlas and return my library copy and work some others I could put on the top row and also start working on those on the bottom row (I have a number of books in addition 2 the 2 on the top row that I‘m currently reading). #bookreport

Worked on the tagged book during the 8-9 pm hour and just continued on reading #hyggehourreadathon #hyggehour

1) The school library. It was the place that I discovered some of my favourite books. Jane Eyre, Jacob Have I Loved, etc. it was also the place that I felt the safest @ school.
2) My three bookclub friends. It was the place where I met my longest friends, almost 30 years ago.
3) My English and socials/history classes. Also discovered some of my favourite books in those places. ⤵️
pick4⭐️ Really enjoyed this book. Even though it felt like it dragged in places, the story kept moving forward and I felt like I understood Auntie Em more. #2025 #greatdepression #historicalfiction #1920s #fiction
so-so
#whereareyoumonday While the book takes place in 3 different places, most of the story takes place in Liberal, Kansas
pick4.5⭐️ Really liked this book despite its horrific history that it deals with. I would have loved to rate this book much higher, if only the author had included an author‘s note at the conclusion of the book. I can guarantee you that most Canadians don‘t really know about the Duplessis Orphans. #2025 #canadianfiction #fiction #quebec #historicalfiction
I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this book, despite the content being very disturbing. #weeklyfavorites
Fried Green Tomatoes - The secrets in the sauce
The Princess Bride - As you wish
Pride & Prejudice (‘95) - She is tolerable, I suppose

pick4.75⭐️ I really enjoyed this book again, but not as much as I did the first two times . I read it when I was going through a difficult patch and so it didn‘t hit in the same way. It still was a very good read. #2025 #reread #bookclub #canadian #fiction #clifi #historical #contemporary #familysaga
Read a bit from my book during #fridayhappyreadinghour, while listening to a podcast episode on The Age of Napoleon
pick4.75⭐️ I can see why so many readers love this book. I really, really liked this book and I really connected with Martha and her family, especially her husband. Loved the strong sense of history that the book places the reader in and Martha‘s story really helps with that. It was my favourite book for July. #2025 #fiction #biographical #historicalfiction
July wasn‘t a great month; granted I lots of family events and am still working through my grandma‘s death (funeral was held this past month because family was in town for my grandpa‘s 100th birthday anyways) and my dad‘s cancer diagnosis and my own recovery from cancer diagnosis about 4 years ago. Read about 2500 pages, which was also the lowest read this month. Hopefully August is better.
pick4.5⭐️ Really liked the pacing in the book, but felt that Izabela‘s story took over too much of the book. I really did enjoy the book and am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. #2025 #fiction #bookreview #historicalfiction #historicalromance #contempoary #romance
pick4.75⭐️ I really liked the pacing in the book and I really liked the two main characters, Hannah and Mallory; also really liked the side characters. I thought that fans of dual timeline #historicalfiction would enjoy this book. The vibes of the book seemed to be one of female strength and the power of maternal love/instinct. #2025 #fiction #dualtimeline #contemporary #romance
pick4.5⭐️ Really liked this book. Am surprised that I am enjoying her books. #2025 #contemporary #romance #fiction #canadianfiction
The set of Two Gentleman of Verona at #bardonthebeach
1) Read
2) Listen to podcasts
3) play Zen Color on phone
4) go onto Finch and dress Bookworm or play around with her treehouse (DDTCMLJQHE, if you‘re interested)
5) swim in a lake
6) watch an episode of Downton Abbey or something on YouTube like TrekTrendy, where I can think about maybe possibly going on a business or first class flight and have champagne and caviar

pick4.5⭐️ I really liked this book. Felt it was a bit too slow in places. I would recommend this book to people who like historical fiction and want to read more books that take place pre and post #WWII. Also for fans who like #lgbtqai+ themes. #2025 #historicalfiction #fiction #literaryfiction
Anyone what is going on with #two4tuesday and if there are any regular Tuesday memes?
Saw this at the checkout line this evening; love that there are comic strips at the bottom of the word searches
A photo that brings me joy is this photo from my grandma‘s birthday last year. I miss her so much, probably more than I will ever admit. I know that she was probably in a lot of pain that day. I wished she had made it to my grandpa‘s 100th birthday. She extended her love of reading and books and stories to me. #mentalhealthmonday
so-so3.5 ⭐️ I thought it was ok; feel it would have been better if he had cut out 50-75 pages, as there was a lot of information that could have been synthesized down and wasn‘t really necessary. I understand that he wanted some red herrings, but there were probably a few too many. That being said, I really did like the twist at the end. #2025 #fiction #mystery #bookclub
pan2/5⭐️ Really didn‘t like this book; really wished that my library book club hadn‘t picked this one. Felt that the topic, while timely, felt a bit esoteric at times and it didn‘t help that the storyline that jumped around a lot; not a fan of Ms. Evan‘s writing style. #bookclub #contemporary #2025 #fiction #scifi
