Ghosts, by Dolly Alderton (2020)

Premise: An English woman struggles to manage the ever-shifting dynamics of fading friendships, aging parents, and the horror that is twenty-first-century dating.

Review: I‘m pretty sure no author has been able to articulate the highs, lows, and humiliations of the millennial generation as well as Dolly Alderton. Cont.

This was such a cute and fun read. Sweet little “will they won‘t they”. (Also a proof that a romance book can work without spice in it) Sure there were snags, but I‘ve read way worse. Most importantly I learned SO MUCH from this book. I had no idea people lived within the walls of the Tower of London, all the fun facts, a glimpse to the inner workings of it all, absolutely fascinating.

I had placed a hold for this at the end of last year on a whim and it didn't disappoint which is a nice change compared to some other newer reads I've read of late.

I enjoyed the premise of a romance writer suffering writer's block while a romantic upcoming actor who's dealing with another breakup under the public eye. He helps her writer's block by reigniting romance for her and she in turn will ruin romance for him, one trope at a time.

The first of three short stories in “Let It Snow”, I was going to leave it as one but the second story is not as good.

The Jubilee Express
Jubilee, stranded in an unknown town after her train was halted by a blizzard meets Stuart and his perky mom.

A cute, quick short read.

Book 2 is underway. I am enjoying this more than the Crescent City series but not as much as #acotar yet.

Thank You @TheSpineView for #BandBDay & for the tag ☕📚💝.

Hope to finish this tonight. This read turned out to have way more depth than I expected...in an incredibly good way...better conclude in a good way...📚💝.

Fun light predictable. I enjoyed it but it wasn‘t an “I can‘t put it down” book!

Cute.

I won't remember it in a week, but cute.

It‘s been years since the Melbourne Writer‘s Festival remembered that not all readers are into Lit Fic! I‘ve booked in for Kaliane Bradley and Lev Grossman - quite excited! Now to read the books 🤣

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOMAF Book 2:Ch.46-48: During training, Feyre is surrounded by Lucien & Spring Court guards-they try to get her to go back with them. Feyre becomes pissed (and good for her!) and her powers come out - she even grows a pair - of wings that is! Rhys and she end up at an inn and have to share a room and a bed. Oh darn! And things naturally escalate - and it‘s about time. Here‘s hoping the morning after isn‘t too awkward.
