Talking at Night | 
After a puttering morning & the post office I am now ensconced in a corner of the coffee shop for my iced dirty chai, oatmilk+ 1 pump coconut syrup latte & breakfast turnover.
Reading this book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @Itchyfeetreader & after things are less puff-pastry-messy I‘m catching up on journaling & maybe a few more #LitsyLove replies.
My gray/cloudy/drizzly #SaturdayVibe is rest & recovery from the workweek.
@StayCurious I wrote this post earlier today but I guess I forgot to actually post it. I think the tagged book would be an interesting selection for #LitsyLovesRomance. I missed the nomination and voting for February somehow, so I‘m thinking about possible offerings in the future.
pick👆THIS is what I wanted Normal People to be. I tried Rooney (twice) and couldn‘t deal. This one had that same-ish back and forth, but they always wanted what was best for each other, together or not. And the writing!!! 🤌I really loved this one!
Not even halfway through this one yet, but I think it‘s going to be in my top five of the year. 🤓🏆 The cover, to me, says light hearted romance-y reading, but that is not this book. It‘s so much more 🫶
pickThere are 2 things I didn‘t love about this book 1) a slightly dismissive lgbtq storyline and 2) no speech punctuation. Despite this I asked and am calling it a 5 star. The writing is lush and melancholy and unlike many second plus type of romance novels the characters of Will and Rosie really seemed fully fleshed out and real - no silly reasons for the ebbs and flows of their relationship just a real richness of their story
