so-so3.5⭐️ I had really hoped to like this book and kept reading it hoping for a spark with the book. But I didn‘t really get that. I think I had expected more, especially since I really enjoyed The Lost Apothecary. I just felt meh about the book. #2025 #fiction #lgbtq+ #paranormal #bookclub #historicalfiction
Travelled about 6,900 miles from Vancouver, BC to São Paulo, Brazil, with my parents in 1982. #majicmonday
pick4.5⭐️ I had forgotten about how much I liked this book the first time I read it about 10 years ago. There was a good discussion about the book during the #bookclub meeting on Monday night (one of the people at the meeting had major hang ups in regards to the sex scene at the end of the book) #2025 #historicalfiction #fiction #historicalromance #romance #wwi
so-so3⭐️ Thought it was an ok #shortstory; it was a fairly quick read #2025 #fiction #norawatts #mystery
pick4⭐️ Very cute read; am really enjoying this series. Got me in the mood for Christmas. #2025 #christmasromance #romance #fiction #opendoor #christmas #dreamharbor

pick5⭐️ I really liked this one. It was a #bookclub pick for one of my library book clubs. Even though I knew the twist, I still really enjoyed it. #2025 #mystery #historicalfiction #fiction
so-so3.5⭐️ Felt that some sections were way too long and could have been easily made into another chapter; wish that there was a character list that I could refer to as I wasn‘t too sure of all the relationships that the characters had with each other. I can see why it was shortlisted for the #bookerprize & won the #gillerprize and the #governorgeneral in 2016

pick5⭐️ I really enjoyed this book. I am so glad my friend Alison picked it for our book club. Having read The Hobbit a couple of times really helped me enjoy the book more. #fiction #2025 #highfantasy #literaryfantasy #fantasy #classics
I never really read horror but am looking forward to this one for my #bookgang readalong #sundayfunday
I‘m sitting in a local coffee shop reading ACOTR and I am wondering how you would design a coffee shop. Would you want spaces where someone could read for hours on end and be comfortable, where the music would be barely noticeable? Or would you want high turnover? I‘m curious as to what you say.
Saw this and this is definitely doable.
My plans are to finish the books that I have on the go at the moment. #turnthepage
pick4.75⭐️ I really liked this book and was quite surprised that I did. I‘m no ballet expert but it seems like it‘s pretty accurate. I also liked the background of the height of the #coldwar rather than #wwii. I am really curious as to what next this author produces. #2025 #historucalfiction #russia #unitedstates #fiction #literaryfiction #family #rivarly

I heard about this on an episode on What Should I Read Next in March. Really enjoyed it. Review coming forth.

#weekendreads
Do Not Say - didn‘t finish last weekend, but got most of it done, so I‘m just going to read a few chapters over the weekend
Secret Keeper - hope to read a bunch more
Maya & Natasha - finished the book Saturday afternoon
Fellowship and Rust & Stardust - hope to start @ least 1 of them on Sunday
Read this during #fridayhappyreadinghour Mostly drank water (sorry for the low lighting; it was late and I had just turned off most of my lights)
It was between the tagged book and the first four books in The Babysitters Club that were my favourite books as a kid. Read those series more or less between grade 2 and grade 6. I read the Ramona books simply because it was the same name as my maternal grandma‘s. #sundayfunday
My plans for my #weekendreads
Broken Country - almost completed; am really liking the book. *completed*
Do Not Say - want to at least get a good portion of the book completed so I don‘t have to read too much on Monday.
The Secret Keeper - will read if I am feeling like I need to switch up things with Do Not Say.
pick4⭐️ Really liked this book; it was really well paced, had very interesting characters that were compelling in their own way. Had a bit of an issue with the last two chapters in that I felt that they were both a little too long. #2025 #fiction #bookerprize #feminism #bipoc #intersectionality #literaryfiction
so-so3⭐️ I really tried to understand what this book was about and while it was an interesting read, I really didn‘t understand it. I am really interested to hear what others in this #Canadianlit #bookclub I am a part of will think of the book. #2025 #fiction #sciencefiction #speculative #historicalfiction #fiction #canadian #mexico
pick4⭐️ I was quite surprised by this book and liked the descriptions of life in this remote Welsh fishing village prior to WWII. Read for the #literarycrew #readalong. #2025 #literaryfiction #historicalfiction #fiction
The only book I completed this week #weeklyfavorites
pick4⭐️ Really enjoyed this book and I am kinda glad I read it after all the hype had died down to read it. Looking forward to the next book in the series. #2025 #fiction #historicalfiction #literary #friendship #comingofage
pick4.5⭐️ I really liked the book and it really lived up to the hype. I thought it might be a bit too schmaltzy, but I really liked how the characters were drawn and felt like the story ended well. #2025 #fiction #contemporary #wedding #literaryfiction
Working on all of these this weekend. Am almost done with The Daughter of Doctor Moreau. #weekendreads
pick4⭐️ I really liked this book, but I would have liked more explanations about how to challenge some of the more negative emotions. #2025 #nonfiction #psychology #mentalhealth
• 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
#weekendreads
pick4.75⭐️ I really liked this book and I can see why so many people have really liked this book. #2025 #memoir #autobiography #nonfiction
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
