Not reading much these days because:

1)watched the roller coaster to the Biden presidency non-stop 👀
and
2) all consuming time suck of coaching (nagging) my daughter through college apps!

But good news: she got her first offer today! Still 2 more apps and interviews to go, but this mom is doing a happy dance that she‘s got in somewhere!
💃 I‘ll feel differently when the time comes but after months of pandemic life I‘m ready for an empty nest!

MsMelissa Congrats to your daughter! Did she get in to Ryerson? Where else is she applying? My daughter is only in grade 9 nine but she‘s already thinking hard about where she wants to go to university. As of right now she wants to stay close-ish to home, and so Queen‘s is her current choice. 3y
KVanRead @Book_Fiend_Melissa Queens is a great school! Yes, my daughter got into Ryerson. She is really sold on Toronto and is also interested in a BFA so she‘s applied to U of T, York, and OCADU as well. Next up is getting her portfolio completed, so not done yet, ugh, but nice to know she‘s got into one place that she‘d like to be at. 3y

I really enjoyed this book. I especially liked the characters Tootsie, Luke, and Diana. Life sure changes when the nest is empty.

This book hooked me from page 1. Finishing it tonight for sure.

This was a page turner, very artfully done and sensitively written. Biank made the women she wrote about come alive. Be warned that it is definitely a tearjerker.

Enjoyable but predictable light read. Good for when you want to read for entertainment but not have to think.

I‘m dropping my youngest off for his first year of college. I have a few minutes before the next event starts, so I pulled out my kindle and this is the ad that popped up when I opened it. Targeted advertising or coincidence?

LibrarianRyan I'd say targeted advertising. I put nothing past Amazon. 5y

This is an intriguing read that pulls you in. It jumps around to different characters a bit too much for me.

I was rereading some of the book.....and I was brought back to the 6 deployments my husband has been on. Me, back in the states, raising our 5 children, and constantly worrying. Please read the story on Army Wives. This has been my life since I was 18 and I'm about to be 34. If you are a spouse in the military, I salute you. We stand amongst the silent ranks strong and unwavering. #armywives #lovemycombatengineer

britt_brooke Thank you and your family for all you do! ❤️ I know it‘s not easy and not everyone can do it. My husband was an army aviator for the first 8 years of our marriage and those were tough (3 deployments), but also often wonderful years. He got out in 2009. 5y
kaleidoscope.reader @britt_brooke Mike has a few years before retirement. Thank you as well. ⚘😊 5y
