Shep is everything and oh my gosh where can I find one?! Nurse Louise was a total gem. Eve was so lucky to be surrounded by such great people during a time when life is really stressful. Book #35 in 2024

marleed I love your drawings! 2d

April #ReadingBracket2024 Fiction update
Ready or Not was my favorite read of the month. I'm having trouble comparing it to Witch King though, they are such a different vibe... Will report back later

Roary47 Ready or not was my wild card. So good! 3d

Brooklyn | Colm Toibin

pick

Toibin is one of my favorite authors but this was not one of my favorite books. It was a soft pick (more of a so-so). At the risk of sounding like a book snob (sorry 😭), this one read more like commercial fiction than the ones I‘ve loved (Heather Blazing being a favorite) although it was shortlisted for the Booker. He is quite brilliant at writing the voices of women though. It follows the life a young Irish woman who moves to the U.S.

JenP I received a galley of Long Island so wanted to read this before reading the sequel. 5d

I absolutely adored this book! Bastone has become an auto-read author for me. She writes such beautifully crafted characters. I loved witnessing Eve grow into herself and figure out what she wants out of life after her unplanned pregnancy news. Her relationships with her close friends and family are all affected by this life development in unexpected ways 💕

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.29-30: how brave Eve is to trust Ethan! That‘s so great and big of her. The better they start off on this rocky road the smoother it‘ll become. And what a birthing experience! I‘m guessing she didn‘t go for the epidural - silly silly woman. Review ⬇️

StayCurious I truly enjoyed this book. The characters were so likeable and they really worked on their flaws. The author worked on this book while she was pregnant with both of her sons and the experiences really seem so real. the conversations were honest and raw and made me feel all the feelings. I almost wished for an epilogue though - just to catch a glimpse of where they get to. (edited) 1w

julesG This romance was a breath of fresh air. I especially liked the honest characters and the great character development. 1w

peanutnine I loved this book! The characters were so real and flawed yet lovable. I agree, an epilogue would have been the perfect cherry on top! I've enjoyed Bastone's other books but she's become an auto read author for me now! 1w

LiseWorks Or another book with Ethans story. 1w

peanutnine @LiseWorks oh yes I would read that! Ethan finding someone who accepts his new unconventional family 1w

Roary47 I would have liked an epilogue too, but Ethan‘s story @LiseWorks I love that idea for the same reasons @peanutnine mentioned. 1w

julieclair I loved this book! I agree with everyone‘s comments - character growth, realistic conversations, epilogue (or even a sequel) needed. It was very fun reading this together. Thanks for hosting, @StayCurious ! 1w

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.27-28: I love their real conversations. I think being so honest and open will make them really go the distance. We‘ll finish up the last of the book tomorrow!

julesG This book is so refreshing. No endless miscommunication. Instead we get honest talk. Honest feelings. That's what I want to see in a contemporary romance. 1w

5✨We start off knowing our main character had a one night stand and ended up pregnant. As her baby grows, she does too. Discovering what she wants in life, what really matters, and what goals she wants in the future she needs to work for. Excellent character development, funny, heartfelt, and completely entertaining. #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious

StayCurious I loved it too! 1w
