I‘ve never done one of these before.
1 my favorite flower from my moms gardenia bush.
2 the moon always makes me happy…side note I finally have a phone that can get a good picture of the moon. (Yes my phone took that picture)
3 my handsome (and spoiled rotten) dog Bash.
4 my beautiful girlfriend Holly and our dog Bruno
5 my new (and first) grandson Ky.

It Ends With Us | Colleen Hoover
Mehso-so

It was interesting. I can‘t say this heavy topic was all so heavy. As someone who‘s been through mental any physical abuse, I feel like this was written by someone who doesn‘t know what they‘re talking about. I really enjoyed the back story of lily and atlas. The whole relationship with Ryle was not believable. There was no falling in love writing it just happened. It was still interesting though.

Stupid iPad just put the picture where it wanted lol. I tried…I really tried but it is so boring! I only tried so hard cause it was one of my #bookspinbingo reads. I loved the first two but I have no idea what‘s going on. It‘s like there was something in between books 2 & 3 that I didn‘t read. That‘s on top of SUPER BORING.

julesG I take it you didn't read the short stories in between the novels? 5mo
persephone1408 @julesG no I didn‘t cause they cost just as much as the full length books. I didn‘t really have the money for all that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 5mo
julesG I can understand. I got them when they were 99c deals. 5mo
persephone1408 @julesG I got the first one for free and had to pay for all the others. I don‘t think I‘ll buy the last one. 5mo

I loved the characters and laughed out loud at them at times. @KateReadsYA great pick! I might not be around for the discussion as I'm having surgery Tuesday & Idk if I'm gonna feel well enough. #whimsicalreads

No. The first book I remember reading was in the fourth grade. I remember it, I guess, because I saw the drifters that year and all I had for them to sign was that book. So somewhere is that book with their autographs in it. Lol @ozma.of.oz #sundayfunday better than a monday🎶
