I love a pretty end page design 😍

There's nothing better than finishing a book and then finding book mail in the mailbox 😁

Gossipy, a little crime solving, and forced family fun--everything a summer read should be. Not a bad way to spend reading time.

New day, new book

That was a slog of a read. I just wanted it to be over. It honestly felt like nothing more than an introduction to new characters for his next book. Which would be cool.

So excited to revisit Holly 😁💃🏻

Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

Not a favorite. The Chilean civil war was interesting; the rest not so much.

I love these quiet stolen reading hours of early Sunday mornings.

The story of friendship will stay with me because it was that good. But the writing was off. I didn't care for the dual timeline because the present parts were boring and flat and felt like they were written by someone else. The ending dragged and I just couldn't wait for it to be over. So disappointing.

My part of house painting is done! ???? Now the Mr. Just has to finish all the parts I couldn't reach, and the cutting in that just isn't my forté ?

I have now moved on to gardening, which I know nothing about ? Taking a break to start the new Backman ?

Very much felt like an elderly coming of age story for 70 year old Tommy who thought he could back to his old life. I kept hearing Billy Joel in my head, "then the king and queen went back to the green, but you can never go back there again." It also felt Twilight Zone-y as Tommy walked around Downtown not understanding why it all looked so different, and feeling like an "old fool" for thinking it'd be the same.
