I honestly download this one because it's on my #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022 and wasn't hoping for much as I passed on it several times. Well, this is me kinda kicking myself for putting it off so long. Have a box of kleenex and sit back and enjoy. So many feels! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 12mo

I'm legitimately not sure how to describe this book except to say I really enjoyed it and I can understand why it's on #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022. Old Hollywood meets magic and prejudice. Loved the characters and the story. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! 13mo
gossamerchild I loved this one! It was really unique - I truly haven't read anything else like it. 13mo

This was one of #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022. This was my first time reading this author let alone this character. As far as pandemic stories go this wasn't bad. On the other hand I'm still not ready to dive into a book about the last few years, or the political ramifications of said last few years. 3 🌟 read for me.

This was on the #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022 and to be honest I came to this book not with a jaundice perception but with caution. Often those books touted to be uplifting or helpful always manage for me at least to be none of those things. This read though was all of that and more. She approached these topics with grace and kindness and at several points during the read it was thinking "she totally understands where I am."

OMG! I honestly didn‘t think this would suck me in the way it did. Let‘s just say I was useless today. USELESS! These characters! Yeah, I kept turning pages just so I could see how this was going to play out. I totally understand why this is a #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022. So far from that list of books I‘d have yet read this is a favorite! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

This isn‘t a book “you love” and yet…it‘s a book about the purest of love. I‘ve been trying to process this one for the last few days. It stays with you in a way that‘s hard to describe. It‘s very informative and I understand why it‘s part of #TimeMagazineTop100Readsof2022. Have Kleenex you‘ll need it.

Cinfhen Great review!! I‘ve been meaning to read this one💔 1y
KristiAhlers @Cinfhen thank you. It was so hard to describe this heartbreaking book. I‘m not terribly sure I‘d be as strong as she was. 1y
SamAnne Just finished this one. Oof. Having helped both my parents through their ends of life, and with my own cancer diagnosis (in remission but it will likely take me out one day), I‘ve thought a lot about one own‘s agency over how they leave the world. For those who can‘t put another book on their TBR, Bloom did an excellent piece on This American Life. 12mo

I was in love with this woman‘s energy, joy, her work in so many roles and after reading her words I‘m even more in awe of her. She had me laughing and crying. It was almost as if she sat with me and told me her story in person. It‘s just that type of writing. #TimeMagazineTop100ReadsOf2022 #nonfictionreadingchallenge

I picked this one up as it‘s one of the #Timemagazinetop100readsof2022 and I‘m doing this reading challenge this year. I wouldn‘t have picked this one up on my own and that would‘ve been a loss on my part. It was a smart, funny and sassy read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
