2- all the Christmas romances I can get my hands on!

Great MC romance. I wanted to know more about every character. Unfortunately this is the only book in the series and the author has vanished from publishing new work or having an online presence. 3.5 spicy 🌶️

Honestly, not looking forward to this IRL bookclub selection. The bookclub is pretty new and this is the second NF self-helpishy book. 😏

I‘m sure it will be “fine”, but I‘m not expecting more.

5✨ If you have ever felt like you just can‘t win. Everything is going wrong and you have hit rock bottom, this book is for you. David is one of these people that just can‘t catch a break. His family is suffering and he is feeling worse and worse. Then he is given the gift to travel through “time/dimension” to learn 7 things that can make his life better. I feel like this book was speaking directly to me. It was amazing! #Roll100 October

@DinoMom You are just the sweetest! I love this book. Ha, I grew up reading these and reading them to my kids so probably YES, everything I need to know I most likely did learn from a Little Golden Book!!!

Thank you so very much for this lovely surprise.

I had a feeling when I found this at the library that it was going to make me cry. I didn't expect how much, though. The whole book killed me. It makes a great gift for your true love. I wish I had had the hope page when I was 33. The sadness page has me reframing my focus on comfort.

Not my cup of tea. I think I lack the emotional sensitivity for books like this.. but I was genuinely captivated by Morrie's perception and acknowledgment of death. For that, I consider him lucky. Sure, a terminal illness is a terrible thing! Yet Morrie got to say goodbye on his term, surrounded by loved ones, and with no word left unspoken. I've lost too many friends who only had a few seconds to make peace with their god and find resolution.

A sweet book about the friendship between teacher and student, rediscovered in later life, and how together they face Morrie‘s illness and death. Not my usual sort of read but I enjoyed it nonetheless (although, at risk of sounding like I have a heart of stone, I did find it a *little* too saccharine for me in parts)…
