Your Perfect Year | 
pickJonathan Grief, book publisher, finds a diary that leads him to do life differently. Many near misses as Hannah and Jonathan learn to heal and live. Really enjoyable read. #bookspinbingo #litsyatoz
A friend told us about this cute book: "Jonathan opens the calendar to find that someone known only as “H.” has filled it in with suggestions, tasks, and affirmative actions for each day" and I thought the whole idea is fantastic and I want to do it as well! For "Friendmas" this year our gifts will be a 2022 diary with all of the above in! I am sl excited! ????????
And I can't wait to finish the book!!!???
A little reading before the pie making commences. Also, got the tree up yesterday 😄

pickI have no memory of how this ended upon my Kindle (does anyone else have that problem?) but it was a nice “fluff” read which managed to be predictable and implausible at the same time. But a good COVID read. 🤷🏻♀️
It's an odd book, but strangely it's growing on me. Looking forward to seeing how it ends. The story takes place in Hamburg, Germany, which gives it a different and unique element.
Your Perfect Year is told in alternating perspectives of Jonathan and Hannah. It was really interesting to see how their two storylines finally overlapped! I liked the premise of Jonathan finding the Filofax and how following the diary started to change his life.
pickSide by side diaries of two people whose lives eventually collide. 4/5 ⭐️ A little clunky in parts but a cute read.
“That unequivocal feeling of being in love. Of warmth and security, of butterflies in the stomach, of an excess of joy and high spirits, laughter and craziness. And of happiness. Yes, happiness.” SWOON!
so-soTonally this was not quite what I expected. I thought it was a romantic comedy but it's actually quite serious. It was also pretty slow until the end when things came together too quickly. I don't know how much, if any of that, to blame on the translation but I do think there are some translation issues. Both MCs frequently irritated me in ways I think were unintentional and also due to translation. I nearly liked it but it didn't quite land.
so-soI think this was a classic case of the book just not being what I was expecting. The description makes it sound like a lighthearted romcom type of story, but it's actually quite serious and even very sad in places, with a suicide forming one of the central storylines. The romance felt somewhat contrived and hasty, and while not a bad story, it had a weirdly overall down vibe that just isn't my preference - I'm an upbeat kinda girl!
30 degree weather is not ideal for having all of the windows replaced in one‘s home, but Sophie and I are cuddled on the couch reading and staying warm while the poor window guy freezes. 🥶😻📚
A man consumed by a meaningless life is going to do something he‘s never considered doing before. He‘s going to enjoy the day…
For Jonathan Grief, the day starts like any other, but all it takes to put a crimp in his routine is one small annoyance. Someone has left a leather-bound day planner with the handwritten title Your Perfect Year on his mountain bike. In his search for the owner, he begins to find meaning in his own life.
