pickListed to this one on audio. I liked the story of Nina & how her simple life gets turned upside down after her biological father she never knew dies. Nina is included in his will & learns of an entire extended family within close proximity. I liked also how anxiety was addressed in a story. It‘s important for mental health to be addressed as something that people can struggle with. Wasn‘t a fan of how her boyfriend dealt with her anxiety but it‘s
Happy Monday! We have several appointments today but first I wanted to share one of my favorite books with a #YellowCover 💛📚💛

Meet Nina Hill: A young woman supremely confident in her own...shell.
The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book.
Just to name a few!! 💛🧡💚❤️

I loved Nina and her quirky family & friends.

Adult Assembly Required is the #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD for March. When I put it on hold at the library, I saw that book 1 was available on audio. I‘m currently listening to Nina Hill and enjoying it.
Thanks, Misty, for introducing me to Abbi Waxman‘s Instagram 💙

“Being surrounded by books was the closest she'd ever gotten to feeling like the member of a gang. The books had her back, and the nonfiction, at least, was ready to fight if necessary.”

One of my all time favorites 💛
pickThis book made me laugh 😂 that is worth mentioning cos most of the time I choose hardcore emotional books which are tearjerker. So I loved this one . This book has its own fan base mostly because in one or the other way bookish people can relate with Nina. Though I felt it‘s little dramatic, Perfect for a light read.4.5⭐️#bookspinbingo
panI couldn‘t focus on this one. There were a lot of characters and it just took me forever to get through it and it felt like not a lot was going on. Disclaimer - I have been sick with Covid and think maybe that could have made it more difficult for me to get through this one. Maybe I will revisit another time when I feel better!
pickLoved this absolutely adorable book. Didn‘t hurt that I read it while relaxing in Horseshoe Bay Bermuda! 🏝
“It also meant she thought of books as medication and sanctuary and the source of all good things. Nothing yet had proven her wrong.” 💯
I LOVE Nina Hill! Can‘t wait to read all of this author‘s backlist!!

pickNever have I ever related to a character more than Nina Hill. I just loved this book and everything about it. Yes to all of it.
pickBeen meaning to read this one for a long while. Happy to say it did not disappoint!
@TheBookHippie Goodreads seems to think this is a series. Just fyr....

For today‘s #NameInTheTitle prompt, I went with the theory that two is better than one & picked six books from my stacks where both the first & last name are in the title.
pickI am of two minds on this book. On one side, I enjoyed the writing, I liked Nina, I enjoyed the small townish setting and the quirkiness that implies. On the other hand, conflict seemed resolved too easily and while I liked the love interest, he got on my nerves with his total lack of understanding even in the face of a full blown panic attack.
My reading buddy for a chapter. Then it's work time.
I love Nina!

Sunday‘s are for starting new books. This was a gift from @BennettBookworm 💛📖
My current bookstore haul with Peaches oblivious to my photo taking ways….
pickThis was such a great book!! 🧡💙 I‘ve been reading several books about books and publishing so I finally picked this one up. I had borrowed it from my mom over a year ago. I read it in two days. It made me laugh out loud a few times and had a lot of depth as well. 5⭐️ and one I could see myself re-reading (and I‘m not much of a re-reader).
pickNina Hill is an almost orphan working in a bookstore in a trendy neighbourhood in LA. She has a crush on the rival quiz team captain but can‘t seem to do anything about it. The unexpected appearance of her previously unknown multigenerational family throws her quiet life into relative chaos. A gentle romcom - well worth the time - I‘m very envious of her privilege and lifestyle .
Book lovers unite! 'The bookish life of Nina Hill' begins with these beautiful quotes that all book-lovers can agree upon!
pickSuper cute and sweet book to kick off the new year. Any story with “book” in the title is usually a pick for me! Nina is relatable and the author did a great job of easily transporting me into Nina‘s life in Larchmont. If you want a quick and easy read with humor, romance, trivia facts, and plenty of literary nods, this one is for you! ❤️👓📚🐱
Life can throw you major curveballs, but it‘s rare you can do much more than duck.
pickThis was great fun. Possibly because I have more than a bit in common with the protagonist. The humor was a little crude. Anxiety was described and dealt with well.
My #JanuaryTBR was picked by fellow Littens and my furry buddy! My goal is read at least 22 books in #2022 😊 #tbr #goodreads #beatthebacklist #mountTBR
Knitting a second sock and reading about Nina Hill.
."Nina had looked around (the library) and realized she would never run out of things to read, and that certainty filled her with peace and satisfaction. It didn't matter what hit the fan; as long as there were unread books in the world she would be fine. Being surrounded by books was the closest she'd ever gotten to feeling like the member of a gang. "
"Libraries were her favourite places, and when she traveled, she would start out at the local library, thus immediately identifying herself as a total nerd. They say you always remember your first time, and Nina definitely did. Walking into the Los Angeles library to get her first library card, when she was eight or so was still a memory she treasured. "
pickLoved this book. Light read, not heavy at all. Perfect for a quiet evening in. The plot was not intense, there were a few passages that were very relatable and it had its humorous moments. Made me wish that we still had more independent bookstores around. As it is, I just randomly came acrose this book while browsing in my local library. I love it when that happens. You don't have that same experience with digital books at all.
Merry Christmas!!! Reading by the fire in the afterglow of gifts. Thankful for the season!
Thank you so much Tammy for my #jolabokaflodswap gift! I'm so excited to read this book and dig into this candy 🤤😋

And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this wonderful event ☺️💖
She enjoyed people—she really did—she just needed to take them in homeopathic doses; a little of the poison was a cure.
She sometimes made lists of things she‘d already done solely so she could cross them off, which she couldn‘t help feeling was pretty pathetic but strangely satisfying. :")
She was small and slender and gave the overall impression of a baby deer, until she spoke and you realized you‘d been looking at a fox all along. As her good friend Leah once said, she wasn‘t mean; she was painfully accurate.
pickI absolutely adored this book! I identified some of my own personality traits in quirky bookish Nora, loved the crazy fun family she discovered she was a part of, and honestly was sad when I finished it. So cute and funny.
4.5 stars
