Thursdays at Coconuts | Beth Carter
44 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
As the go-to wedding planner, Suzy can't find her own wedded bliss and has one shocker of a wedding day. It doesn't help that she's still pining for her high school sweetheart, the one who got away. Handling neurotic brides is the best part of Suzy's day until her son brings home a bombshell from Europe. Alexandra, a beautiful marketer with a "touch" of OCD, falls for a bad-boy cop who's married and possibly stalking her. But he sure is sexy. Alex tries to stay at arm's length after she puts her job-and life-on the line for the officer who isn't always a gentleman. Hope hates her name, looks, and frizzy hair. As a high school counselor, she dishes out sage advice to students, yet can't see she's enabling her deadbeat, stuck-in-the-seventies hippie parents. After tragedy strikes, she reexamines their relationship and discovers a secret that almost went to the grave. Friends since high school, the thirty-something women meet every Thursday at Coconuts for their own form of friendapy.

1. I am participating in #3books this month
2. Fantasy/urban fantasy
3. Both! 😆 Normally sweet, but then I want something a little salty, which means I then want something sweet again.

MoonWitch94 Both is a good answer! Thanks for playing 🍂🧡🙂🍃 4y

2. The end of Dec. Some friends always camp out at the beach over New Year's so we went to spend the day. We live 1.5 hrs from the Pacific Ocean.
3. No goals other than to finish the book for my f2f bookclub. I am not participating in #24B4Monday.

#HelloThursday
I‘ve been forgetting to do these because I think I have time & then somehow Thursdays sneak up & whoosh, go by. 😂

So with that my fave literary quote is from HHGTTG:
1. This must be Thursday . . . I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
2. Just keep swimming. 🐠
3. I am still learning.
4. Bazinga!
5. Love to Team #BFC, new and alums! And {hugs} to anyone who needs one today. 💚💙💜

Everyone is invited to play!

squirrelbrain I‘m not surprised that time runs away with you; you‘re so busy being the BFC boss! 5y
wanderinglynn @squirrelbrain Yes, 😉 that‘s going to be my excuse! 😂😂😂 5y
Cari_tsundoku Not sure which of the categories they fall in but two of my favs are “Just because you can doesn‘t mean you should.” And “Reality is perception. Perceptions are fluid, so if by reality you mean tangible items and immutable events, then there‘s no such thing.” 5y
wanderinglynn @Cari_tsundoku great quotes! 👍🏻 5y

#thursdaysurvey on Friday
Thanks @LokiDokey for the tag! 😘

1. I believe there‘s one in Seattle/Tacoma. But I‘m so new to the area, so I really haven‘t explored it yet.
2. Nope. ☝🏻
3. I‘m an environmental attorney & my preferred focus is wildlife. I love them all! ❤️❤️❤️
4. Yes.
5. Happy Friday everyone! 👋🏻

RvnclawWhovian There‘s one in both! The one in Seattle is Woodland Park. The one in Tacoma is Point Defiance and it also has an aquarium. They‘re both great, I think I prefer Woodland Park if I had to pick one 5y
wanderinglynn @RvnclawWhovian Thanks! 😀 I‘m slowly exploring, but haven‘t quite gotten over to Seattle or down to Tacoma yet. 5y
InkedBookworm13 There is also Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville. I also prefer Woodland park to Point Defiance. During the winter Woodland park has a holiday light display walk that's pretty cool. 5y

1. Pediatric oncology research nurse
2. I worked in the games department at a tiny amusement park. I always got stuck at the game where you throw a big wiffel ball at 3 large heavy cups. (hint: No one ever won that game)
3. My best job was as a peds oncology nurse in the clinic. I eventually needed a break from the stress so I moved to research.
4. Unrelated to nursing, my dream job is to own a dog rescue.

Thursday‘s at Coconuts, is a book about three best friends chatting over drinks, sharing the best pieces of their lives, and indulging in happy hour therapy. The best kind of book! This romance has a surprising amount of intrigue, drama and even a few tears. I love the way the author keeps the readers interest by moving from one woman‘s crisis to the next and I could identify with their... read full review at Zari Reede.com

tonyahoswalt @readherwriteher I had a bad habit of putting off reading for a long time, because I just didn't feel like it, so it would take forever to read a book.
