pickI haven't read a Christina Lauren in a little while. It was a quick read with great characters, lots of family drama, and all you'd expect from one of their books. I enjoyed it. 🤓

pickOn the day I left my SWF holiday I managed to visit Noff‘s op shop in Regent St Redfern. I ❤️ that it is open on Sun. The cardi seems to be vintage, it has sparkles & was only $4 down from $10! The 👗 also has sparkles. I can‘t resist a small men‘s 👕 with a beautiful pattern. Last yr I scored lots of good adult 📚. This yr it was beautiful picture 📚 plus a travel 📕 for me. I‘ll keep the kids 📚 at my place for my little people to enjoy here.
pickThis is a triple (& sometimes more) timeline book, or perhaps more accurately, a three places book: “house” in Philadelphia where Kevin‘s wife and kids live, Paris where he had an affair, and El Salvador (right before its civil war in 1979) where he goes with his best friend Richard to find his friend‘s brother who went missing there. The House chapters jump around in time as Kevin tells us about events in his family‘s life. The storyline ⬇️
pickMay 2025 #AuthorAMonth #Read2025 For the first few minutes I wasn‘t sure if I liked this book, but I quickly turned around into loving it. It is the story of a young man‘s life and how as a middle aged man he comes to understand why he became the person his and finally comes to peace with his past and himself. It also is a story of love, family, friendship, and art. There is a subtle allusion to his race while he was in graduate school (cont)⬇️
@Soubhiville I hope you are well. I just wanted to let you and the rest of the #AuthorAMonth gang know that the tagged book, So Much Blue, and The Trees, both by May‘s author Percival Everett, are free on Audible. I‘d love to read James but it‘s not free and the hold list is months long. I‘ll get to it when the LIBBY gods smile on me.
so-so3 Stars • Christina Lauren‘s The Paradise Problem is a sparkling rom-com blending wit and warmth. Anna Green, a struggling artist, and Liam Weston, a reserved professor, fake a marriage at a lavish island wedding to secure his $100 million inheritance. ⬇️
pickIt‘s spring! My daffodils have finally bloomed. 🥰
This book was a fun, quick read. I‘m glad they only used the “word” “lol” once in the book. It also had THE LONGEST epilogue! Other than that, the story was pretty good. I think this is only my second Christina Lauren book.
pickI rarely read rom-com books but this came up on Libby audio, many laugh out loud moments, a good plot and I liked the different pov from Anna and Liam , good ending oh and you can‘t have a good rom-com without some 🌶️😉
